We deliver high-value healthcare communications seamlessly aligned to our clients’ communications needs, team set up and available resources. Through our industry-first planning tool ADAPTTM, we are able to deliver award-winning outcomes despite the increasing pressure to deliver more for less.

As an integrated healthcare communications agency, we work across the full spectrum of marcomms disciplines, from strategic planning and concept creation to multi-channel tactical delivery and programme measurement and evaluation.

We are a trusted senior team of over 70 consultants spanning all aspects of PR & communications. We operate across the health landscape including pharma & life sciences, biotech, consumer health, charities, patient & professional groups, and NGOs.

Our ability to be efficient and effective is down to ADAPTTM; a duel-focused strategic planning framework that parallels the importance of effective, efficient and amicable ways of delivering work, with the importance creating award-winning campaigns and programmes. ADAPTTM was co-created with clients, procurement leads, behaviour change specialists and coaches to ensure it unlocks the collective potential of client and agency resources.

We invest in client-agency partnerships ensuring the relationship stays healthy and productive. We continually monitor progress to ensure spend returns the best results and outcomes. We are 25% better value than the industry average, receiving an average of 97% for performance across our client base in 2023.

So with Fox&Cat, you get a focused, caring, competent team that delivers more efficiently and effectively than through a hierarchical agency model.

As a business, pro bono work is in our DNA, with 50% of our profits going to pro bono work each year.

Why? Because helping resolve the world’s health challenges is our purpose, and far more important to us than profit.

Where? Right now, our pro bono work is focused on improving mental wellbeing. 9 in 10 people working in communications experience poor mental health, and 7 in 10 experience chronic stress.

Our latest projects:

Under the tree: In 2023, we helped 4,631 comms professionals address and better manage the pressure and stress that seem to be so rife in our industry. Afterwards, 90% told us that they felt better able and empowered to deal with it. In 2024, we’re sponsoring a new venture to pick up where we left off.

Thinking Different: Neurodivergent people experience more stress than the average person and nearly 20% of people working in comms are neurodivergent. We’ve created a campaign to ensure that neurodiversity is welcomed and celebrated across our industry, creating inclusive workplaces that benefit from neurodiversity while helping reduce stress for neurodivergent people.

Me & My MenoPAUSE: A lack of communication between businesses and those going through the menopause causes unnecessary stress. We worked with the HCA in driving a crucial workplace mission: to promote healthy discussion between those experiencing menopause symptoms and their employers. And we’ve already seen some 3,500 engagements with materials and assets over six months.

Creating Healthy Communities: Healthy individuals need healthy communities – a belief that inspired us to support Lions in creating a community of new members in the South of England. Our work is leading to new members joining to do their bit in building a healthier community.
