Stirred

What Stirred does

Stirred Health (legal entity: Stirred Health Ltd., company number 13252772) is a UK-registered, remote-first health communications consultancy founded in 2022 and headquartered at Shoreham-by-Sea, England. The firm delivers strategic communications, medical education, integrated promotional campaigns, disease awareness campaigns, and patient support programmes for pharmaceutical, life sciences, and healthcare clients across the UK and selectively into Europe. Named accounts include AstraZeneca (Forxiga), Shionogi, Seqirus, and CrodaPharma, alongside healthcare charities and NHS-facing public health work; campaigns span everything from an NHS flu vaccine uptake drive to a Period Symptom Checker tool that recorded 50,000+ downloads.

The firm's core product is its 'Shift and Stir' proprietary planning framework, which blends human empathy and instinct with analytical tools for insight discovery and underpins every client engagement. It also operates 'Stirred Well,' a dedicated consumer health sub-brand focused on everyday wellness. AI use is present but understated: tools are applied for creative development, research support, media scanning, and meeting efficiency, with explicit disclosure to clients — there is no proprietary model, trained pipeline, or AI-first architecture.

Revenue is generated through project-based and multi-year professional services engagements on undisclosed pricing; salary bands (£35–45k Consultant; £55–70k Senior Consultant) imply a small but credentialed delivery team in the 1–10 employee range. The firm has no disclosed outside investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds; it appears to be founder/management-owned. Its positioning leans heavily on two pillars — consecutive Communiqué Small Consultancy of the Year wins (2024 and 2025) and B Corp / EcoVadis Gold sustainability credentials — to differentiate against larger incumbent health communications networks.
