Our agency is proud to have had the opportunity to support the development and commercialization of brands for heritage biopharmaceutical clients including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Genentech, Shire, Genzyme, Amgen, and Merck, to name a few. “Supporting these biopharmaceutical clients, we work alongside them to develop the scientific story of ‘why your brand matters’ for patients and provide branded and disease education to key healthcare providers. The scientific expertise and disruptive thinking methods and behaviors among the elite members of Simpson Healthcare span across many major therapeutic categories that we continue to work within, including: respiratory, oncology, cardiovascular, rare diseases, gastrointestinal, adult vaccines, and severe asthma. We think differently about why scientific stories of therapies matter for patients, as we aim to ensure the delivery of precision medicine: the right patient receiving the right medicine at the right time. “Fundamentally, our purpose is to help our clients to share the scientific story of the diseases we touch and therapies discovered for all in need. We are proud to stand united with our clients as we help them to improve the quality of life for patients who will benefit most from their therapies. When we pause to understand the number of patients whose quality of life we have touched in each of these spaces, we realize we are looking at a very large number. We know that the change we catalyze in healthcare continues to be extraordinarily meaningful for people both on a national and global scale.” Testimony to the firm’s success is its achievements in the 2018 Business Excellence Awards. Simpson Healthcare considers it to be an honor to be awarded in this year’s program in such outstanding categories. Danielle explores how the firm has come to make this achievement through hard work and commitment to the success of its esteemed clientele. “As we take a step back to reflect on what has brought us to this point today, we see the broad, full impact of that we have had in countless therapeutic spaces. We are leaning forward right now into the celebration of our 20th year of business, and in our 20th year alone, we are proud to recognize that our agency’s efforts are currently working to impact roughly 1/3 of both national and global populations. We know we must be doing something right because our approach to communicating science works. In an ever-evolving healthcare marketplace, we believe that providing great branded and disease education to physicians is essential to delivering what the needs of patients really are, and what patients and physicians want most. Uncovering core unmet needs for patients who are living with their disease, and working to deliver effective scientific solutions and medical resources are essential to supporting physicians in helping their patients to live a better quality of life and achieve better health outcomes. We work to unlock our clients’ full potential to connect with the patients who can benefit most from their therapies, as we strive to fulfill the overarching goal of healthcare: helping people live better.” Achieving this ambitious aim will be impossible without a strong, dedicated and experienced team, and as such Simpson Healthcare has worked hard to cultivate a supportive, collaborative internal culture which revolves Simpson Healthcare Executives, LLC is a dynamic, Connecticut based healthcare communications agency that challenges its healthcare clients to think differently about the ways that they can bring the story of science to life for physician and patient communities and create meaningful relationships with their brands.
