The promise

Growth that a regulator would sign off.

In healthcare, the fastest way to lose a year of growth is one claim you could not stand behind. We build demand that is accurate, compliant and durable, so the marketing that wins you patients never becomes the thing that costs you trust.

On the record

The coverage does the talking

A live feed of where our work has been showing up — real placements, real titles, real reach.

What it buys you

More of the right patients

01

Patient demand

Campaigns built around how people actually choose care: clear, reassuring and pointed at a booking, not a brochure.

02

Referrer confidence

The clinical credibility that keeps GPs, consultants and partners sending you their patients, backed by evidence rather than adjectives.

03

A brand that travels

Positioning, messaging and identity that hold up across a clinic, a hospital group or a digital-health platform in a regulated market.

04

Compliant by design

ASA, CQC and GMC-aware from the first draft, so growth never arrives with a regulatory bill attached.

How we work

Clinicians first, marketers second

The practice is led by Dr Sheel Mehta, a practising NHS Consultant. A clinician shapes the strategy and signs off the claims, which is why our healthcare work survives the scrutiny a generalist agency never sees coming.

We start with the patient decision, not the channel. Where do they look, what reassures them, and what is the one step we want them to take. Everything else, the search, the content, the paid media, follows from that.

Marketing sits alongside healthcare PR and healthcare digital marketing in our wider healthcare practice, so earned, owned and paid pull in the same direction.

FAQs

What providers ask us

We grow the demand that fills clinics and sustains referrals: brand and message strategy, patient-facing campaigns, content that ranks and converts, and the clinical sign-off that keeps all of it accurate and compliant. The work is built around how patients actually choose care, not around marketing for its own sake.

Our healthcare work is led by Dr Sheel Mehta, a practising NHS Consultant. Every campaign is shaped and signed off by clinicians, so a claim is medically defensible before a patient or a regulator ever sees it. That is the difference between marketing that grows a practice and marketing that triggers a GMC or ASA problem.

Both, and we keep them separate. Patient acquisition needs plain, reassuring language and a clear next step; partnership and referrer marketing needs clinical credibility and evidence. We build the right register for each audience rather than one tone that half-serves both.

Against enquiries, bookings and referrals, not impressions. We track the cost of acquiring a patient, the quality of the enquiries, and the channels that actually produce booked appointments, then move spend toward what works.
