"John Nosta provides a comprehensive perspective on the digital health movement. With unique sensitivities to science, consumer engagement and brand marketing, he tells a story that helps drive mindshare and market share."
"John Nosta combines passion with knowledge and delivers more than a speech, he provides an engaged conversation that informs and moves his audience. John's domain knowledge of medicine, technology and marketing make him a keen observer of digital health and only one of a handful of thought-leaders that can clearly articulate the importance of this movement in human history."
“John is an inspirational creative and strategic leader. He continues to impress and amaze me with his extraordinary intellect and energy. John is a true thought leader in all aspects of health-care communications. It was an honor for me to learn from John while working in his creative department at Ogilvy Commonhealth (Noesis). Under John's leadership, I was able to do the highest-quality creative and strategic work in the business, and improve my own leadership skills. In short, I have benefited enormously from John's vast insight, intelligence and inspiration (as have many of my brightest colleagues in pharma advertising).”
“John is one of those rare people with a real gift of creative expression. He lives, breathes, tweets creativity. In all my exchanges with him I have found his ideas to be exceptional. He comes from a place of deep wisdom and many years of experience. Besides, he is always helpful and very approachable. I am honored to know him.”

“If you only read one recommendation about John Nosta, this is the one. There, I said it. It’s not even a recommendation; it’s a reflection; a rumination; a reaffirmation. It’s essential reading. If this were a beer commercial, John would be The Most Interesting Man in the World.” He may very well be, but he’s almost certainly “The Most Interesting Man in Modern Advertising.” To borrow from another current consumer campaign, John seems to know what’s going to happen 30 seconds before it does. Or 30 minutes or 30 days. Because John is second to none when it comes to staying on the cutting edge of advertising, technology, social media, and health-related advancements.”
“John is my go-to resource in the world of digital health for heads-up on the latest technology spanning from wearables to ingestibles to breakthroughs in life sciences. He's a "must follow" for anyone who wants to keep up on the contextualization of the latest technologies in healthtech.”
