Graphite Digital

We’re a digital CX agency collaborating with healthcare and pharmaceutical organisations around the world to deepen customer connection through meaningful digital experiences.

We combine digital expertise with extensive sector knowledge and understanding. Innovation and creativity always come first, but not at the cost of regulatory approval.

Our dedicated teams bring strategic and design expertise to help clients turn ideas into effective digital products and experiences that are scalable and resonate with their patients or HCPs. We conduct research, then convert this into actionable insight and practical solutions. Our iterative approach allows us to quickly solve problems and implement change.

We’re a company of individual specialists with a shared vision, ethos and approach. With our clients, their teams across markets and their partners we’ve improved the experiences for millions of users.

CX Strategy. User Research. UX and UI Design.
