Where else do we talk about Access and Channel in open and objective ways? Think about the Retailers like CVS, Walgreens and Rite-Aid that are in the news now talking about closing stores, workers striking, and all the pending impacts to their model as they watch their reimbursement decline and cost of goods increase. Where has that conversation been taking place? The headwinds to Specialty have now trickled down to Specialty Lite and General Medicine Brands. I can’t think of a time that our industry has been more complex. Don’t stay in your office thinking about how the world worked 5+ years ago. Let’s fully embrace the return of live events.
