Welcome to AMICULUM®
An Altogether different healthcare communications agency
AMICULUM is an independent family of 11 branded agencies that delivers communications and consultancy services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and health technology companies across the world.
What makes us different is our agile and highly collaborative approach, which allows us to put together the right expertise from across our business to deliver high-quality, technically accurate and compelling content for different audiences, through selective use of key communication channels.
Created in 2001, AMICULUM has grown steadily for the past 20 years with significant repeat business from our clients and recommendations from the leading experts we have worked with. We now have a team of over >300 healthcare communications professionals and operate in some of the most complex and challenging areas of medicine.
Our Family
Each AMICULUM team offers particular expertise but shares common heritage, vision and philosophy, which inform how we engage with our clients and nurture our colleagues.
All AMICULUM agencies and regional teams are wholly owned entities, which are supported by our global integrated business services team comprising finance, IT and data security, HR and recruitment.
Once we understand your needs, AMICULUM will collaborate closely with you to configure a team designed to achieve your business objectives aligned with your preferred ways of working. We may recommend that you engage with a single agency or regional team, or that you are supported by specialists drawn from more than one of our teams. In the latter case, we will ensure that the lines of communication are clear and you’ll be working with a dedicated team whose priority is to deliver your project.
What we do
AMICULUM delivers a range of services and consultancy to our healthcare clients. Our core expertise is based on our deep understanding of the science underpinning significant developments in medicine and the clinical practice environment. We are familiar with the complexities involved in working in the highly regulated pharmaceutical sector and the needs of all stakeholder groups, including patients, advocates, payors and healthcare professionals. We have experience in a wide range of therapy areas, including rare diseases and genomic medicine.
AMICULUM’s services and specialisms include:
-
Brand launches and promotional materials

We appreciate that clients don’t select projects from a menu of services and welcome opportunities to discuss individual challenges and objectives; we don’t need to wait for an RFP in order to generate creative ideas.
Client experience
We appreciate that delighted clients are the best possible source of new business and have been fortunate to develop long-lasting partnerships with many of the world’s leading global pharmaceutical and healthcare technology companies. We also value innovation and now have on our client roster several client companies which are younger than AMICULUM. The ‘trusted advisor’ status that we aim to achieve means that we can make a positive contribution to both creation of strategies and delivery of tactics.
AMICULUM has never published details of the assignments that we undertake. We are of course open to more detailed confidential discussions with prospective clients within the terms of our contractual agreements to ensure that potential conflicts of interest are avoided. References can also be provided in such circumstances with explicit permission from individual clients.
Leadership
The company is led by our management team, supported by a larger group comprising the leaders of all AMICULUM agencies and business support teams.
