Attigo CIC
Summary of work
Attigo is a highly skilled, fast growing agency. We balance the demands and high standards required by the largest global pharmaceutical companies, with our social drive to employ highly skilled people living with long-term health conditions, who would otherwise struggle to achieve meaningful employment. It is our belief that in the healthcare communications industry we must live and breathe the patient journey; we must understand their challenges, and through our business model we play an active part in supporting patients into recovery and to live fulfilling lives.
We want to further the cause of the social enterprise model – this allows us to support people who otherwise would struggle to progress their careers due to health conditions. The people we employ have built Attigo into an award-winning agency with major clients, including Johnson & Johnson (J&J). We want to take the model further to build a movement that recognises business as a force for social good as well as a significant contributor to economic success.
