Adelphi Communications

What Adelphi Communications does

Adelphi Communications is one of four wholly-owned agency brands operating under Adelphi in Healthcare Communications, a UK-based healthcare communications group affiliated with Omnicom Health Group. Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Bollington, United Kingdom, the group employs more than 225 specialists across its four brands (Adelphi Communications, Excerpta Medica, 2 the Nth, and Ology), which together deliver strategic planning, thought-leader engagement, medical education, publication planning, value communication, patient-centric communications, and independent medical education services to global healthcare brands and pharmaceutical companies. The four agencies operate as distinct brand identities while being seamlessly integrated with the parent Adelphi Group's Real World, Access and Research capabilities, providing clients with combined scientific insight and communications execution under an enterprise field sales model.

The business operates as a B2B professional services firm with a quote-based, custom engagement pricing model targeting enterprise pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. Revenue is generated through project and retainer engagements, with no disclosed pricing tiers or public rate cards. Services are delivered through offices located across all key global markets, enabling cross-geography client coverage and multi-disciplinary team composition. The group is led by CEO Stuart Cooper and COO David Harrison, with key contacts including Edward Roos and Peter Hopkins.

There are no disclosed revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the source material. The company shows no publicly stated AI/ML capabilities, proprietary technology platforms, or digital product offerings, operating primarily as a talent-and-relationship-driven service business. The Omnicom Health Group affiliation provides access to broader network capabilities across disciplines and geographies, and the Adelphi Group parent offers integrated Real World, Access and Research capabilities that distinguish the offering from independent medical communications boutiques.
