Cannes Lions 2026: What it takes to move patients from awareness to care

by Experian Marketing Services 3 min read July 22, 2026

Meet patients where they are

Picture a patient across from their doctor, list of questions in hand. That conversation is where care actually begins, but most healthcare marketing stops well before the exam room door. At Cannes Lions 2026, we asked leaders from DeepIntent, IQVIA Digital, Klick Health, PulsePoint: what does it take to move someone from awareness to care, not just to the next click, but to the doctor’s office? Their answers, in four minutes, below.
