We get healthtech

SomX was founded by Dr. James Somauroo and Jessica Smith who combined their expertise in healthcare, technology, communications and startups to launch the only agency that truly understands the healthtech sector.

Our Philosophy

You shouldn't need to teach your agency about healthtech and you shouldn't have to watch them underdeliver. There were no agencies that truly understood healthcare, technology, investment and startups, nor any with a model that worked for the healthtech sector. So we created one.

Our Mission

To carefully design and execute a personalised, effective communications plan for each company we work with that shows your value in exciting, engaging and innovative ways. We know what healthtech companies need for their businesses to grow and we aren't afraid to be bold in our delivery.

40+

We've worked with more than 40 healthcare companies, from startups to corporates in healthcare, pharmaceutical & health/life insurance.

2M+

Content isn't a tick-box, it's a huge opportunity. We achieved over two million impressions on Linkedin alone for our clients this year, a 30,000%+ increase.

50+

We regularly secure coverage within healthcare, technology and business press, regionally, nationally & internationally with over 50 regular titles.
