NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lazar Partners, a strategic communications firm for companies in the biopharma and medical device space, today announced the firm has been named the recipient of two PR Agency Elite awards by PR News for their work with partner Insulet Corporation on the diabetes blog, Suite D. Lazar Partners was nominated as a finalist and received honorable mention awards in both the Advocacy and Content Marketing categories. Winners were announced at PR News' Digital PR & Agency Elite Awards Luncheon on October 10 at the Grand Hyatt in New York City.
"Suite D was created with the goal of providing people with diabetes a place to support each other as well as to share their thoughts on diabetes management, their health and their lives," said Fern Lazar, President of Lazar Partners. "We salute our long-term partner Insulet for developing the tubeless OmniPod insulin pump and their commitment to continuous innovation which is helping to make diabetes management a smaller part of patients' lives. We are proud to work with Insulet to provide a dedicated diabetes resource for both people living with diabetes and their loved ones. We also are very thankful for the amazing group of bloggers we work with who create the inspiring content that makes Suite D such a valuable site for people with diabetes."
Suite D provides a platform for people with diabetes, their loved ones, and healthcare professionals to discuss living with diabetes. Bloggers share stories, offer tips, and provide encouragement for managing life with diabetes. Topics can range from professional athletes discussing performing at elite levels with diabetes, to parents providing tips for caring for a child with the disease, to experts offering advice on lifestyle habits for better diabetes management.
"I am so grateful to Insulet for providing a global voice for those living with type 1 diabetes and giving me the opportunity to highlight heroes of the type 1 diabetes community," said professional snowboarder and Suite D blogger Sean Busby, who interviews inspirational people in the diabetes community for his 'Sean's Heroes' blog series. "Having people you can look to for support and inspiration is so important in the diabetes community and I'm very proud to be a part of that support system with Suite D."
