COMPRIX advisory board appoints Christoph Bohlender

COMPRIX is changing the composition of its advisory board. Christoph Bohlender, co-founder and managing director of MENSCH Kreativagentur, is joining the committee. At the same time, Dr. Giuseppe Gianni of Brand Health is stepping down after many years of involvement with the award.

The change was announced on 14 July 2026. Bohlender brings long-standing experience in healthcare communications, including work connected to juries and awards. He is familiar with COMPRIX from both the agency side and the jury perspective.

Advisory board shapes the award framework

The COMPRIX advisory board is responsible for key elements of the competition. Its remit includes strategic direction, the award process, the appointment of jurors and the framework for the annual awards.

With Bohlender joining the board, COMPRIX is adding further creative expertise to the committee. The move also underlines the award’s focus on the visibility and quality of healthcare communications, including how work from the sector can reach audiences beyond specialist circles.

Dr. Giuseppe Gianni leaves the board

Dr. Giuseppe Gianni is leaving the advisory board after many years. COMPRIX acknowledged his contribution during important phases of the award’s development and his role in shaping the committee’s work.

Bohlender highlights responsibility in healthcare communications

Bohlender links creative excellence in healthcare communications to a strong understanding of the people affected by such work. In his view, communications in this field deal with issues such as health, dignity and fundamental life situations, making the discipline more than campaign execution.

For agencies, clients and jurors, COMPRIX remains a relevant industry platform for discussing quality, purpose and impact in healthcare communications.
