Healthcare Digital Marketing Agency

We are H+C.

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2017, Health+Commerce made its mark by taking big-company best practices to help launch healthcare startups and innovative technologies. Today our team of creatives and communicators works with an elite group of innovative companies of all sizes and stages in medtech, biotech and digital health. We’re proud to offer cutting-edge approaches to media relations and strategy, branding and design, digital and social media marketing, content creation, and more.

Our Mission

As communicators and marketers, we play an essential role in the healthcare ecosystem: we bring trusted information about vital medical innovations to the public, physicians, patients, and other important audiences, ultimately to help improve the health of people worldwide. This is our mission.

Our secondary mission is to help innovators succeed in their business goals. Without these visionary entrepreneurs and innovators, important advances in healthcare simply would not be possible.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create an exceptional work environment where professionals are supported as people, not just workers – where we can harness our shared passion for health and innovation, and nurture our individual talents, to grow both professionally and personally in our joint effort to advance our mission of creating a healthier world.

How we’re different

We are part of the healthcare ecosystem, with deep connections to the organizations and people driving innovation in our industry. This insight and experience allows us to be a true partner, and an extension of clients’ teams. Many of our senior team members have also worked in-house, navigating internal demands and resource constraints. For small and large clients alike, we offer a breadth of skills, experience and perspectives that makes us your secret weapon for creative problem-solving.

How we work

First we get to know your business objectives, then translate your value to stakeholders with a compelling story, and develop targeted strategies across multiple channels for results intended to help you achieve your goals. Every H+C client has a dedicated senior team leader with a minimum of ten years of healthcare experience.
