What MedComms Experts does

MedComms Experts is a B2B professional services firm specializing in medical communications, training, and education programs for pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, the company serves enterprise Medical Affairs teams across the pharmaceutical industry, with named clients including Novo Nordisk, Janssen, Novartis, Biogen, Takeda, Smith & Nephew, Cassiopea, Baxalta, and Brainwork. The company's core offering combines strategic publication planning, scientific storytelling, HCP (healthcare professional) engagement programs, satellite symposium planning, and Medical Affairs training. The firm employs a multi-disciplinary model pairing PhD-level scientists with creative execution, and maintains a niche focus on rare disease communications.

The company's product portfolio includes the proprietary FaST Decks (Facilitated Storytelling Decks) interactive presentation format, the Omnichannel Publication Extender suite (animated summaries, visual abstracts, infographics, podcasts), HCP engagement platforms, and Medical Affairs training programs. Its most significant technology asset is the DataMaps platform — an AI-driven tool for live Systematic Literature Review data extraction, insight generation, and visualization that supports Medical Science Liaison (MSL) engagement with healthcare professionals. DataMaps was integrated via the July 2025 acquisition of NexGen Healthcare Communications, which also added UK operations and capabilities in commercial/promotional content and patient advocacy education.

MedComms Experts operates as a privately held company under the legal entity MedComms Experts GmbH, with offices in Zurich, New York, and London. Revenue is generated through project-based engagements and retainer arrangements with enterprise pharma clients, with pricing negotiated on a quote basis. The company received a strategic investment from The Brydon Group in February 2025 and completed the NexGen acquisition in July 2025, signaling an active platform-building phase. Headcount is reported in the 101-250 range. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales supported by a content marketing engine (Knowledge Hub, podcast series, webinars, MAPS conference participation), rather than self-serve or transactional channels.
