Palatine Resident Inducted as a Future Hall of Famer

Palatine resident Dan Morrill has been recognized as a "Future Famer" by the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame (MAHF) for his contributions to the medical advertising community. The MAHF Awards event was held at The Pierre, a Taj Hotel in New York City.

The MAHF award is one of the highest distinctions given to individuals in the industry. Founded 20 years ago, the organization recognizes retired executives who have shaped the medical advertising industry through their creative and accomplishments. Individuals recognized as a "Future Famer" are those whom the MAHF believes are destined to someday leave their mark on medical advertising. "Future Famers" are young executives who have been in medical advertising for less than five years and are also involved in various community service programs.

Morrill is an associate creative director for Closerlook, a full-service digital agency located in Chicago. According to the agency, this is not the first time its team members were recognized. Last year, account director Chelsea Patton received the "Future Famer" distinction.

"To have our team members be acknowledged is an honor," said CEO David Ormesher. "We strive to create a culture where great talent can be nurtured. We're pleased that Dan Morrill is being recognized because he truly has made a significant impact on our clients' programs."

According to Ormesher, Morrill has a unique ability as a writer to bring brands to life. His approach to storytelling creates content that boosts engagement. Prior to joining Closerlook, Morrill worked on content development in the B2B space, writing about technology advances, e-commerce, travel and sports. His diverse experience helps add depth to his storytelling abilities. Morrill has been with Closerlook for three years.

Closerlook is a full-service digital agency helping biopharmaceutical companies promote new therapies that help improve the lives of patients and those who care for them.
