Elevating healthcare
SomX is a communications and creative agency elevating healthcare. We are clinicians, scientists, creatives and communicators dedicated to serving our healthtech, biotech and pharma clients.
We are the fabric of the industry.
You shouldn't need to teach your agency about deep science or technology and you shouldn't have to watch them underdeliver as a result. We started SomX out of the need for an agency of healthcare-specific communications experts that were trained scientists and clinicians that understand the nuance of our sector. It didn't exist, so we created one.
Our mission is to elevate healthcare through communication and community. Through personalised, effective comms strategies, we bridge the gap between healthtech innovations and those who benefit from them. We drive impact through strategic storytelling, powerful branding, and targeted engagement. We know what healthcare companies need. We aren't afraid to be bold in our delivery.
We pride ourselves on a being a dynamic and innovative team, constantly learning and adapting to meet the evolving needs of the healthtech, biotech and pharma sectors. We foster creativity and improvement, where every team member is encouraged to contribute ideas and recommend solutions for our clients. We place huge value on being a generous and active contributor within the healthcare community. We maintain integrity, prioritise health and happiness, and practice kind candour, always putting principles over profit.
SomX operate as an extension of our team and are as passionate and energised about our mission as we are. They are dedicated to delivery of consistent impact and always adding value. They move quickly, flex with changing scenarios, bring us ideas and stretch our thinking.
Working with SomX has been a game-changer for our business. Their expertise in raising our profile has been exceptional, and the consistent, on-brand material they produce has really resonated with our audience. They have also helped us create brilliant content that has really elevated our marketing efforts. We couldn’t be happier with their service and highly recommend them to anyone looking to boost their PR and marketing strategy
Having an integrated marketing and PR partner, with expertise (and an audience) specific to the health environment, is so helpful. A proactive and responsive team, great account management, strong relevant content (often created by medical professionals), providing PR combined with design, messaging, writing and social media. They help us to go above and beyond!
The whole team is very easy to work with and they have understood our needs as an organisation since the very beginning. We could not recommend them highly enough!
The SomX team have been a vital extension of our team. They bridge the gap between founders and the market by making sure the communication conveys our value proposition in the most succinct and easy-to-understand way.
SomX helped us while we grew to acquisition. They really felt part of the team and took on key areas needed for a fast growing company. Their approach took all the important factors into account and delivered excellent results. I would highly recommend their services.
SomX speak our language. They are able to produce fresh and original ideas and always deliver on their promises. They always address things quickly and flexibly, with a strong emphasis on the client, and continually deliver top-notch customer service experience.with an experienced and specialised team.
From day 1, SomX just understood our business and what we were trying to achieve. They are a pleasure to work with and do a great job of making everything as simple as possible - we agreed on some objectives at the beginning and then they just delivered! We've had some great media coverage. Thank you SomX!
