STAMFORD, Conn. — KNB Communications announced it has been named the winner of the 2026 Swaay.Health Award for Newsletter of the Year for its flagship publication, KNBeat, further cementing its reputation as a multi-award-winning industry newsletter.
The award was presented live at the annual Swaay.Health LIVE 2026 event in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
The Swaay.Health “Newsletter of the Year” award recognizes the healthcare newsletter that cuts through crowded inboxes to consistently deliver content audiences genuinely want to read — combining fresh perspective, actionable insights, authentic voice, and measurable engagement.
KNBeat was recognized for delivering timely, relevant, and thought-provoking content tailored to healthcare, health tech, biotech, and life sciences marketers, communicators, and industry leaders. The monthly newsletter has earned national recognition for consistently providing curated insights, bold industry perspectives, campaign inspiration, and strategic commentary that readers actively engage with, share, and return to month after month.
“KNBeat has always been about making industry content genuinely useful, interesting, and worth opening,” said Beth Cooper, Vice President of Marketing + Sales at KNB Communications. “Our goal with KNBeat has always been simple: make it smart, make it relevant, and make it something people look forward to opening. Seeing it recognized across multiple awards is a really nice validation of that approach and a testament to the team behind it.”
The 2026 awards program was highly competitive, making the recognition especially meaningful within the healthcare marketing and communications industry.
“KNBeat is a good example of what happens when content is treated as a long-term asset instead of a short-term tactic,” said Chintan Shah, President + Managing Partner at KNB Communications. “It builds trust over time by being consistently relevant and grounded in real industry insight. The recognition it’s received reflects that consistency.”
“At a time when marketing and patient experience budgets are being cut, it’s more important than ever for us to highlight the incredibly talented people, teams, content, and campaigns in healthcare that stood out over the past twelve months,” said Colin Hung, Editor-in-Chief at Swaay.Health. “Winning a Swaay.Health Award is no small feat. We received hundreds of high-quality nominations. This year’s winners were truly the best of the best.”
“Swaay.Health has always been about lifting each other up,” explained John Lynn, founder of Swaay.Health. “We feel it is our duty to share the good work being done by others so that we can all learn. The 2026 winners are inspiring. They are not letting the economic uncertainty hold them back. We need more of that!”
