About me

Thomas Gada is an SVP, Group Creative Director at Digitas Health.

Tom flips problems upside down, deconstructs them, then reimagines them. This creative curiosity has earned him the respect of both colleagues and clients throughout his nearly 20 years in healthcare advertising.

From rare diseases to blockbuster treatments, Tom has fueled the creative engine for numerous US and global brands at every phase of their lifecycles. Prior to bringing this deep experience to Digitas Health, he led the Janssen Neurology and BMS Hematology accounts at Fingerpaint Marketing. Before that, he spent over a decade at McCann Health, where the Janssen Immunology business was consolidated under his creative leadership. Additionally, he oversaw the growth of the agency's ViiV business from a single product to a portfolio of treatment options that made up the largest book of business at the agency.

A creative to the core, Tom strives to motivate his colleagues, inspire the best possible work, and ensure his team crafts stories and experiences that clients and customers will never forget. His dedication to creativity and innovation has been recognized with numerous awards, such as Clio, Creative Floor, MM&M, and Manny Awards.
