[WHO WE HELP]
We work with teams
in pharma. Almost exclusively.
Brand, marketing, launch, innovation, and commercial excellence leaders who've noticed that the same process keeps producing the same strategy. We help them change the process.
[WHY THE FOCUS]
Twenty-five years inside pharma teams.
Long enough to know the specific shape of the problems. The committees, the medical-commercial tension, the compliance envelope, the agency layer, the global-local friction, the three-year strategic cycle.
We don't try to translate behavioural design thinking from other industries. We've rebuilt it for this one.
Five roles that keep showing up in our work.
[THE ROLES]
[01]
Brand and marketing leaders on a live launch.
Usually 6-18 months before launch, or 3-6 months after, when early signals don't match the forecast. The question isn't whether the plan is good. It's whether the plan is built around the right behaviour.
[02]
Commercial excellence and omnichannel leads.
People responsible for how the commercial engine actually operates. They have access to the data to know where the leaks are, and the authority to redesign around behaviour rather than around content calendars.
[03]
Digital and innovation teams with a technology choice to make.
AI platforms, patient support tools, HCP engagement systems. The expensive commitments that tend to get made before anyone has defined the behaviour they're trying to change. We help reframe the question before the contract is signed.
[04]
Global strategy teams building frameworks for local teams.
Where the real question is less what the right strategy is, and more how to build one that survives translation into twelve markets without turning into twelve different strategies.
[05]
Medical affairs leads working across the commercial-medical line.
Where behavioural evidence is the only language that holds up across both sides. And where most alignment projects have never gone deep enough to get to the actual disagreement.
[WHAT A GOOD ENGAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE]
Short, sharp, and deliberately outside the normal process.
The best engagements we run are focused and timeboxed. One to three days in a room, or a series of short sessions over a few weeks. Small team, usually 6 to 12 people, drawn from across functions. A specific decision or deliverable waiting at the end. Followed by a short implementation support window where we stay close but don't take over.
What we don't do: long retainers, general advisory, staff augmentation, or running the commercial function for you. That's not where our work is sharpest and it's not what clients come to us for.
We're probably the wrong firm if...
[NOT FOR]
[01]
You need a full brand agency.
To handle ATL, creative production, and media. We don't do that work and we won't pretend to.
[02]
You want a deck to rebadge and present.
We build artefacts teams can act on. Not decks to be shelved.
[03]
You want confirmation of the plan you have.
We're usually brought in precisely when the existing plan has stopped making sense.
[04]
The decision has already been made.
And you need someone to validate it. That's a different kind of work, and it's not ours.
