Jim Ardito—the Short Version

Promius™ Pharma Takes Flight AND SO DOES THIS SLIDE PRESENTATION
The challenge?
Launch a company and a product using branding and a creative platform that captures Promius Pharma’s dedication to innovation
and its unlimited potential. The answer?
Turn to a Tangram, a Chinese puzzle with pieces that can be rearranged to form an
infinite variety of geometric shapes. The company, like the puzzle, offers
unlimited possibilities (Check it out)

To see how this campaign took off on the
Web site I wrote—with glorious flash
animation—google Promius Pharma and
click on the name

In this dual-product detail aid, this
cover for Mastasol presented one side
of the separation anxiety story—the
fear that an adhesive wouldn't stay
on. Flip the brochure upside down and
around and the same headline worked
for product number 2.
Mastasol & Detachol ONE HEADLINE WORKS FOR TWO SEPARATE FERNDALE PRODUCTS

Meet Detachol, product 2
presented in the same brochure.
Detachol also prevents
separation anxiety by making
sure adhesives come off easily
and painlessly.

Taking care in general healthcare
I write far more than
pharmaceutical. Here’s a
consumer brochure I wrote for
Grant Hospital (Medical Center)
in Chicago. Check out my
resume for other examples.
And the next slide.

Here’s a direct to consumer piece designed to grow caregiver knowledge about Severe Primary IGFD –a hormone deficiency that causes kids to be super-short. Fortunately, Increlex is on hand to cause these kids to sprout—not only hope but actual inches!

When it comes to healthcare
writing, you could say I wrote
the book—or at least promoted
it to physician audiences.

Meet Analpram HC® AND A PEACH OF A CAMPAIGN FOR ANORECTAL PAIN
No buts about it, a simple
and pointed direct mail
rhyme became an effective
way to pitch OB-GYNS

And Now a Tale of Brand Evolution
For Locoid Lipocream—the #1 branded mid-potent
corticosteroid cream—my concept of
“The Double Agent”
evolved to a campaign with a totally
different, “lipid-rich” look and feel
![Page 12: Ardito medical writing](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052618/54c0233b4a79599e118b4592/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Meet the Double Agent (on the case
with efficacy and elegance for Locoid
Lipocream corticosteroid). The Double
Agent did one heck of a job for 3 years
then evolved brilliantly.

And here’s the evolution
now. Same product, but
totally rebranded and
repositioned to fight
eczema with Hydrolipid
Technology. Locoid
Lipocream (and total Rxs)
never looked so good.

Writing On the Corporate Side
For any healthcare agency or company, I bring far more
to the table than an ability to write for pharmaceutical brands.
I offer a veritable buffet of writing experience, including
consumer, business-to-business and retail.
Purohit Navigation digested this information, appreciated my style and expertise and for 1 ½ years had me serve up:
> PowerPoint presentations and thought-leader articles
for the CEO that were published in major industry pubs
> All internal corporate writing, including a blog and other interactive media, posters, special company events, promotions, and on and on
> All corporate writing for clients, including Web sites and brochures
Here’s a taste of what I produced:
