Bulletin Healthcare

What Bulletin Healthcare does

BulletinHealthcare is a healthcare-focused digital publisher and wholly owned subsidiary of Cision that delivers curated daily email news briefings to healthcare professionals. The company co-produces more than 40 specialty briefings with over 30 leading medical associations — including the American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Cardiology, American Academy of Family Physicians, Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, and others — and with the Cleveland Clinic, reaching nearly one million verified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists. Its core technology stack includes patented source-scanning software that ingests tens of thousands of news sources each night, an in-house team of healthcare analysts who curate and summarize the most relevant stories, and a proprietary HCP Data Management Platform that enables deterministic targeting of audiences at the NPI level using sub-specialty, treatment, diagnosis, and facility attributes.

The company monetizes primarily through advertising placements — display and native Advertiser Supplied Content — sold to more than 200 enterprise advertisers across pharmaceutical, medical device, biotech, health system, health IT, CME, and OTC segments. The go-to-market blends direct enterprise field sales with a programmatic layer via PulsePoint and Lasso for automated reserve and private marketplace buying, while ROI measurement is supported through third-party Rx lift and attitudinal studies. Association partners are served under an ad-supported model at no cost to the society, which scales distribution efficiently and embeds BulletinHealthcare as a sticky member benefit. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, the company operates as a private subsidiary of Cision and is positioned at the intersection of healthcare media, verified audience data, and pharmaceutical marketing.
