Pegasus

Pegasus inspires healthy decisions through creative, inspirational and integrated communications. Working with ambitious clients, we deliver big ideas and far-reaching campaigns across industries in a health first, sector second approach. Our 120 specialists span earned, owned and paid channels, technologies, and audiences ranging from consumers to healthcare professionals.

Inspirational creativity is made possible by evidence-based insights. At Pegasus, we bridge the gap between behaviour change science and the everyday lives of our audiences with our own planning framework, CHANGE. Created with the internationally-recognised Centre for Behaviour Change at UCL, CHANGE brings clarity to quantitative and qualitative data, digital and social analytics – all of which we can produce in-house. CHANGE informs all our strategic thinking, providing a jumping-off point for highly creative, measurable programmes.

We bring our campaigns to life through a suite of integrated services including brand development, media & influencer relations, events & exhibitions, digital marketing, content marketing, editorial & medical writing, graphic design, animation, video production, and corporate comms.

Headquartered in the UK, our work spans global, European and local market strategic programming and activation. As part of Ashfield, we have a global footprint across 21 countries and every conceivable therapy and service area. Being plugged in to this wider network means we’re able to provide end-to-end solutions to healthcare organisations across the world.

Testimonials

Liz Skrbkova - Global Communications Manager, Modern Insulins &Devices, Novo Nordisk Global: “Pegasus really is the dream team, partnering with Novo Nordisk to deliver across the full spectrum of our healthcare communications needs: providing rich strategic expertise and insight, cutting-edge creativity, flawless execution and limitless enthusiasm. The team deliver on time, on brief, on budget - and are always on the ball.”

Barry Leggetter, CEO, International Association for Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC): “Pegasus is one of the agencies which is leading real change in valuing the importance of evaluation. What they have done, and which is a model for other agencies, is to drive organisational change by making measurement a fundamental part of everything they do. Their success at last year’s AMEC awards is testament to this when judges praised their commitment to measurement as 'outstanding' and 'an excellent example to others'.”

Ian Stevens, Programme Manager – Suicide Prevention, Network Rail: “Small Talk Saves Lives is a fantastic example of how a single insight can form the basis of an exciting, effective and behaviour-changing campaign. The results speak for themselves. We are on a very special journey with Pegasus and all of us who are on it have in some way been moved by the experience. The campaign has brought purpose and value to each of us but above all offers hope to those in crisis, and helps create a more caring society.”
