Summary of work

After a year of radical shifts in our world and the medical communications industry, HCG bucked industry trends in 2020 and delivered sensational outcomes. The start of 2021 meant addressing further challenges in this digital-first, people-first era. Our clients experienced fundamental shifts in 2021, accelerating the need for innovation, an emphasis on health disparities in accessing and distributing healthcare, real-world data and precision medical education. Therein lay the opportunity for us to transform our business to address not only the needs of tomorrow but also the needs of the next decade.

Our employee value proposition (’Come for the work. Stay for the culture. Have an impact.’) has lived through the ups and downs of our industry. We are powered by curiosity and collaboration, driven by a passion to deliver excellence. People are at the centre of everything we do. Diversity is our strength, flexibility our fuel. The work we do impacts the lives of patients and providers around the world. We are the dreamers, catalysts and innovators.

2021 was a year of successful transformation for HCG – for our staff, our clients and how we engage our HCPs – driving forward our vision to bring medicines to the patients who need them.
