The creators

Losing a close family member at an early age made me realise just how important health is. I’d planned a career in medicine, but after deciding that A-Level sciences weren’t for me, I pursued my love of communications and forged a career in marketing. I feel very fortunate to be able to combine my two passions to create work that truly matters.

The healthcare industry is bursting with extraordinary and ingenious ideas that have the power to transform the way we live and empower people to take control of their own health. Healthcare marketing, on the whole, is not. I’m proud to be part of an agency that’s changing that.

I’ve worked with numbers for nearly a decade. But this is the role I have felt most passionate about and proud of – knowing that the work we do has a real and positive impact on people and their lives is really special.

Our health is omnipresent, one of the only things that has a profound and continued impact on what we do and how we do it. Working with clients that have the ability to genuinely change the way people live their everyday is hugely exciting and something I’m proud to be part of.

Healthcare is overflowing with innovation, but often Healthcare marketing is not. I’m proud to be working with our clients to help shine a light on their exciting innovations and ultimately to make a real difference to people’s lives.

The joy of client services is connecting with clients and what they do. Our clients are passionate, intelligent and excited about their products and our creative process. The projects that we’re involved with reflect this, so the final product is always something that we can all be proud of.

The ad industry can sometimes feel a little superficial, so it’s great to be able to work in a sector that’s for the better of people; empowering, enlightening, improving health and ultimately lives. Working for Create Health enables me to combine my love of design, my urges to get geeky and my need to care for people.

I’ve always been curious about how things work, whether it was posters of dissected frogs on my bedroom wall (sorry mum), anatomy books or taxidermy. In fact, I initially wanted to be a pathologist. I didn’t quite make it to med-school, but at Create, my two passions – creative and biology – collide.

Surrounded by the often vacuous consumerism of marketing, I think it’s wonderful to be able to work with brands that truly matter. Ones that change lives, save lives, and improve lives every day. Create Health lets me express my passion for crafting copy, while helping such important causes make the connections and get the engagement that they deserve.

After working both client and agency side, I wanted a new challenge. And changing the stigma surrounding healthcare marketing is exactly that. Working at Create Health makes overcoming that challenge a whole lot easier however, working alongside clients to tell their stories in increasingly creative ways. Without a doubt the most rewarding part of my job is knowing that the work we do is having an impact on peoples lives and on future generations.

After starting my career in the lab, I wanted to branch out from one specific area of science and day-to-day bench work. Healthcare marketing lets me use my scientific knowledge creatively on projects that are truly impactful. I love that our partnerships allow us to be at the forefront of innovative healthcare developments in multiple therapy areas that can improve global health.

Working at Create Health encapsulates three of my passions – being a bit of a control freak (in a nice way I promise), creativity and the hope to improve peoples lives. With my background in nursing and my future in budgets and briefs I can’t wait to utilise all three to make a change in healthcare.

A big part of what got me interested in creative communication is the opportunity to change the way people see, hear, feel and think about something. So when I had the opportunity to be part of an agency that doesn’t lose sight of that human connection, injects a healthy dose of creativity into an often stagnant industry, and helps to positively change lives, how could I resist.

The pandemic has highlighted to all of us the importance of good health, both mental and physical. I think it’s so exciting to be part of an organisation that helps to drive change and improve access to healthcare. Working for Create Health allows me to use my creative skills and love of design to do great things.

When my daughter was diagnosed with Cystinosis, it opened my eyes to the sheer number of conditions that human beings can suffer from. However, it also made me more aware of the treatments, equipment, drugs and people available to help. I founded Create Health to raise awareness of those brands, services and people making a difference to families like mine.

Every office needs a dog and ours is very special. Cupid, one of the nation’s favourite pooches from the Gromit Unleashed Trail 2 is not only beautiful and well-behaved, he’s helped to raise lots of money for The Grand Appeal – Bristol Children’s Hospital.
