Get more about the European Self-Medication Industry with the AESGP’s 2018 annual report

The Association of the European Self-Medication Industry (AESGP) is the voice of the manufacturers of non-prescription medicines, food supplements and self-care medical devices in Europe, also referred to as self-care/consumer healthcare products.

More than 2,000 companies are operating in the consumer healthcare sector in Europe. They are affiliated with AESGP directly or indirectly through the 25 national associations. 50% of the companies in the AESGP constituency are small and medium-sized (SMEs) companies.

8.5 billion packs of non-prescription medicines and 1.2 billion packs of minerals and vitamins were purchased by Europeans in 2018 to improve their health and contribute to their wellbeing. 

Almost every second pack of medicines dispensed in European community pharmacies have a non-prescription status. 

Ailments that can be managed with self-care products typically include allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, cuts, bites & rashes, cough & cold, pain. 

Collectively, there are more than 200 active pharmaceutical ingredients (INN) available without prescription in Europe.

Page in extremis is delighted to have achieved the creative development and the graphical production of the 2018 Annual Report.

The result is a stunning publication made within an intimate, imaginative dialogue framework involving the AESGP team and the Belgian communication agency’s creative unit.

"The problem is, few managers are able to step back and assess their brand’s particular strengths and weaknesses objectively. Most have a good sense of one or two areas in which their brand may excel or may need help. But if pressed, many (understandably) would find it difficult even to identify all of the factors they should be considering. When you’re immersed in the day-to-day management of a brand, it’s not easy to keep in perspective all the parts that affect the whole"

Shaping Future Energy and Climate Policies in Europe: ENGIE’s vision

The ENGIE group – as a leader of the energy transition – fully supports the European ambitions in the field of climate change and energy transition.

Isabelle Kocher,  the CEO of ENGIE stated: “We believe that a competitive ecological transition is achievable by using existing natural gas networks and storage capacities, gradually replacing natural gas by green gas – such as biomethane or green hydrogen – to supply our customers”.

At the very heart of ENGIE’s vision of the future are the priorities of energy efficiency, greening energy and empowering consumers, thanks to decentralised and smart energy systems.

ENGIE has shared its view in a brochure in terms of policy recommendations for the next EU Commission. The publication expresses the ENGIE vision on how to design a future European Agenda to complete the Energy Union. ENGIE encourages EU commitments in six significant areas for making energy: climate-proof, efficient, green, secure, inclusive and innovative.

Why is integrated communication favoured?

Integrated Communication is a simple concept. 

It ensures that all forms of communication and messages are carefully linked together. 

At its basic level, Integrated Communication means combining all the communication tools, so that they work together in harmony, providing they speak consistently with one voice all the time, every time. Their sum impact is more significant than their parts impact.

Integrated Communication wraps communications around audiences and helps the targeted audiences move through the various stages of the perception process. 

Consistent images and relevant, useful, messages help nurture long term relationships with audiences.

The organisation consolidates its image, develops a dialogue and nurtures its relationship with their audiences.

Carefully linked messages help audiences by giving timely reminders, updated information which, when presented in a planned sequence, help them move comfortably through the stages of the recognition process.

The campaign that GS1 Healthcare did for its new standard for investigational products is a brilliant example of Integrated Communication.

GS1 Healthcare has entrusted the communication agency Page in extremis with the development of the Integrated campaign.

Various tools have been selected and developed: a specific web page as a central point of communication, an explanatory video animation, a powerpoint slide,  a series of teasers for the social media, a poster, article, press release, and a leaflet summary.

The agency addressed the redactional and the design development for each communication support within an intimate dialogue between the GS1 Healthcare unit and the agency copywriter.

3 WEC policy recommendations to build a future of work fair and decent!

As the International Labour Organisation (ILO) aligns its mandate to the 21st century, the time is right to secure the best labour market support that individuals can get in finding productive and quality work.

The World Employment Confederation (WEC), the global representative body for private employment services, makes three policy recommendations to build a future of work that is fair and decent for diverse forms of work:

A) Realise agency workers’ access to fundamental rights, collective bargaining and decent work through a regulatory framework that ensures quality labour market allocation and matching.

B) Dedicate resources and programmes to research and promote effective cooperation between public and private employment services.

C) No Future of Work without Social Innovation! 

The three recommendations are fully detailed  in the brochure entitled “Making Transitions Work” and supplemented by a digital platform where you can find out the inspiration for futureproof labour markets: https://www.socialinnovationstories.org/

The brochure and the online database of social innovation stories are both the result of the creative dialogue between the WEC communication team and the Communication agency Page in extremis.

The World Employment Confederation is the voice of the employment industry at the global level, representing labour markets enablers from 50 countries as well as 7 of the largest international workforce solutions companies. Members of the World Employment Confederation represent a wide range of HR services, including agency work, direct recruitment, career management, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Managed Service Provider (MSP).
