Pacific Communications

What Pacific Communications does

Pacific Communications is a full-service healthcare communications agency founded in 1997 and headquartered in Irvine, California, with a secondary office in Madison, New Jersey. The firm provides integrated marketing communications to pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, diagnostics, OTC, managed care, and consumer health companies, organized across five service categories: Strategic (marketing assessment, claims development, segmentation, positioning, branding, packaging), Technical (biomed writing, publication management, KOL management, compliance management, medical education), Tactical (advertising, promotion, sales support, trade support, direct marketing, video/broadcast, media), Digital (websites, mobile, e-marketing, animation, programming, analytics), and Consumer (DTC, DTP, in-office, CRM, support groups). The agency generates revenue through professional services engagements scoped per client, with pricing conducted via direct new-business inquiries rather than public rate cards.

The agency's underlying technology footprint consists of conventional digital production capabilities rather than a proprietary platform. Notable technical deliverables include custom iPad applications for patient consultations (BOTOX Cosmetic Discovery App), iOS mobile applications administering validated clinical questionnaires (Dry Eye Assessment App using the Ocular Surface Disease Index), consumer-facing responsive websites (Juvederm.com, Natrelle.com), original 3D animation for product packaging and mechanism-of-action demonstrations, and video/broadcast production for advertising campaigns. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; clients are directed to [email protected] for proposals. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting healthcare brand marketers, supported by portfolio-driven content marketing on the company website. No AI/ML capabilities, API offerings, or proprietary software products are disclosed in available materials.
