We know you
Our deep expertise in all things health is what makes us different from other agencies.
Health media contact lists, NHS policy and procurement understanding, relevant audience insight, market and competitor research information, medical knowledge, clinical copywriting skills and knowing what works (and what doesn’t). These are what make us really good at what we do - better than other, more generalist agencies.
We have a sizeable, specialist, healthcare marketing team, all in-house.
Working continually with large and small clients across the spectrums of health, social care and wellbeing keeps us current and clever in our ideas, communications and tactics. Private and NHS hospitals, primary care, elderly care, mental health, wellbeing products, medical devices, pharmacy and pharmaceutical, charity and government... we know the industry and the audiences inside out.
Combine all that knowledge with an inspired creative team and you can see why these clients chose Merchant.
Newsworthy stuff
This is the place where we write about all sorts of things. These could be articles on healthcare marketing, our latest work, social media snippets, comments on industry best practice, useful links to NHS policy… You get the picture.

NHS
Every hospital, surgery, clinic or medical team in the NHS needs to explain what it does best and how to access their services. We have been helping NHS Trusts professionalise the way they look and feel, and the way they communicate with their patients, clinicians and other stakeholders.
