Ian Baer on LinkedIn:

I’ve worked in just about every consumer and business marketing category, from investments to beer. Healthcare stands apart from all of them. That’s because nothing we do as marketers offers the opportunity to positively impact the physical, mental, and even financial well-being of more lives than connecting individuals with treatments that help them prevent, manage, or cure a devastating illness.
