More about the role
We are a diverse team of 40+ healthcare communications specialists who thrive on curiosity, the thrill of a challenge, good old-fashioned fun and working in partnership with clients to improve the health of the world, one brilliant idea at a time.

We deliver global, EMEA and UK integrated marketing communications solutions for many of the world’s leading healthcare companies. Our breadth of work is limitless, as we challenge ourselves to innovate in all that we do and really make a difference. If it’s led by solid-insight or data, nothing is out of reach; from traditional media campaigns, data communications and brand launches, to multi-channel digital and social media programmes, to influencer campaigns and disease awareness initiatives, to patient apps or patient advocacy partnerships, to multi-award-winning corporate re-positioning videos and crisis management, the list is endless.

We are very proud to have been awarded the EMEA Healthcare Consultancy of the Year for a few years running, as well as having received awards across the board in Social Media, PR, Marketing, Innovation, Digital and Influencer categories – an accolade to be proud of when pitted against some of the best consumer campaigns from less-regulated industries.

We believe that working here is a chance to change lives, including your own. We’re a super supportive team with a warm, friendly and social culture. Through our solid PDP process and ongoing training and support, we pride ourselves on nurturing our people to be their very best.
