McCann Health

At McCann Health we help brands and businesses play a meaningful role for healthier lives. Operating since 1996, the UK is a global hub for the McCann Health network with over 600 passionate, health-obsessed people, who dedicate 100% of their time to working with health/healthcare clients.

We understand and love solving the problems that companies and brands are facing in today’s dynamic healthcare world – from changing sales models and crowded marketplaces, to digital transformation and empowered health consumers.

It has made us the world’s #1 creatively-awarded and effective health network – with recent accolades including 2019 Cannes Lions Healthcare Network of the Year and Pharma Grand Prix, and 2019 Creative Floor Most Awarded Network. McCann Worldgroup was recognised with Cannes Lions Network of the Year in 2019 and Most Effective Agency Network in the Effie Effectiveness Index for 2019.

Since 1912 we’ve been guided by McCann’s founding philosophy, Truth Well Told, which drives work that truly matters and saves lives. Truth Central is our global intelligence unit dedicated to unearthing the macro level Truths that drive people’s attitudes and behaviours about life, brands and marketing. Over 20 global studies have been conducted including Truth About Age, Truth About Wellness and Truth About Doctors.

We use these Truths fearlessly across the three pillars of our agency – Science, Strategy and Creative. Our scientific understanding allows us to use data to tell stories you wouldn’t expect; strategically we have a deep level of empathy because we aren’t afraid to put ourselves in others’ shoes; and creatively we’re free to let our imagination loose on a problem. In today’s world, technology, data and analytics is a part of everything that we do – whether it’s consulting on digital transformation, enabling omnichannel customer experiences or fuelling our global innovation offering that helps brands solve problems in new ways through hackathons, prototyping labs and partnerships.

McCann Health has 1900+ people across 60 offices, in 20 countries and 6 continents—all united by one vision: to help our clients’ brands and businesses play a meaningful role in people’s health. Our global practices include strategic consulting, HCP communications, consumer health and wellbeing, medical communications and global health. Specialty practices include pharmacy, payer and patient engagement.

The McCann Health Global Scientific Council, a 450+ strong community of PhDs, MDs, pharmacists and medical/scientific experts, are dedicated to bringing world-class, evidence-based science to pharma and healthcare clients, and making complex science more accessible for all stakeholders. We also work closely with a host of partners including WHO, UN, health start-ups and incubators, advisory boards, academia and advocacy groups.

McCann Health is part of McCann Worldgroup and Interpublic Group (IPG), a global leader in modern marketing solutions.
