Our client is a top specialist healthcare advertising & promotions agency that was set up to bring greater strategic rigour and raise creative standards in healthcare communications. Their aim is to bring a "challenger spirit" to the healthcare sector, not settling to do things as they’ve always been done, but rather look at how things could be done differently. The agency works on prescription, medical devices, animal health, OTC & wellness brands, developing the full range of materials required for communications aimed at healthcare professional and consumer audiences. Wherever possible, they bring the most innovative approaches and thinking from the consumer agency to the world of healthcare.
They are recognised within the industry for outstanding creative work that delivers business results for clients. Their work has been widely awarded both at UK and International award shows such as The One Show, LIAs, Clio Awards and Cannes Lions. In June 2021 they won a Gold, Silver and Bronze at the Cannes Lions and were named 3rd top healthcare agency globally. In 2020 they were one of the most awarded creative agencies at the PM Awards, winning six golds and best of show. It’s important to them that people who join their team have a passion for creativity and enjoy contributing to the creative process.
