Communiqué Small Consultancy of the Year

Summary of work

Just 18 months after founding akt health communications the consultancy earned recognition as a leading specialist agency that is wholly living up to its vision. Every day we are challenging perceptions and playing a pivotal role in ensuring life-changing innovation reaches those that need it most.

In the past 12 months, the agency has more than doubled in size and taken on new clients that now range from the biggest names in global pharmaceuticals to up-and-coming biotech and med tech companies. As a young company we have faced challenges and uncertainty as major clients have undergone mergers and acquisitions, yet each time our proposition and commitment has resulted in growth rather than cutbacks. We have won competitive pitches through our creativity and strategic thinking and delivered on our promises to our existing base – maintaining a singular focus on quality, not quantity.

Most importantly, in amongst the expansion the agency has seen and the industry-leading results we have generated, we have remained absolutely true to our agency’s family values – putting our people first, celebrating each other’s successes and making sure that akt is an agency where our team feel at home.
