Company Description
Digitas Health London is the People-Powered Health agency: we exist to improve the experience of healthcare through connected engagement.

We do this by relentlessly championing the needs of real people, designing for the behaviours we want to change and helping healthcare evolve to meet the needs of the future.

We are a generous, idealistic, straight-talking collection of creatives, strategists, analysts, social media experts, PMs, and client service leads. We work together to help people-centric health brands deliver new business value through new customer experiences.

Whether delivering creative campaigns, connected content programmes, mobile apps, digital services, or social communities, we use digital and emerging technologies to help healthcare brands build loyalty, break habits, connect care ecosystems, and disrupt traditional markets.
