Wizzard

What Wizzard does

Wizzard is a London-based, independently owned creative agency founded in 2004 that delivers full-service communications across three verticals: healthcare (its primary focus), consumer brands, and B2B. The agency operates with 11-50 employees from its headquarters at 15-19 Bloomsbury Way in Holborn, London, and serves an enterprise client roster that includes Novartis, Roche, Boehringer Ingelheim, Gilead, HSBC, Barclays, McDonald's, Diageo, Estée Lauder, and Land Rover. Wizzard positions itself as combining the experience of a long-established operator with the energy of a startup, and explicitly contrasts its independent status against holding-company-owned agency networks. The firm is registered as a private limited company in England and Wales with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds.

The agency's service portfolio is organised as a suite of integrated modules spanning medical affairs, commercial and marketing activities, patient engagement, strategic consultancy, creative and branding, digital solutions (website design and build, apps, UX/UI, digital learning, gamification, livestreams), corporate communications, film and photographic production (including 2D and 3D animation), advertising and media buying, events, copywriting, and point-of-sale solutions. Wizzard has no disclosed proprietary technology product or platform; it is a services business that delivers bespoke creative and communications work tailored to each client's brief. The healthcare vertical covers multinational pharma, biotech startups, and charities, with capabilities in medical affairs symposia, MSL tactics, patient advisory boards, payer value communications, and congress booths, while consumer and B2B work covers brand strategy, digital builds, through-the-line campaigns, and product launches.

Wizzard's revenue model is professional-services based, with project-based or retainer arrangements and pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led: prospective clients are invited to discuss their problem or objective and receive tailored proposals. The agency emphasises cross-sector expertise — particularly its ability to blend healthcare communications discipline with consumer-advertising creativity — as a primary differentiator. Ownership is privately held and independent, with management led by Paul Goldney (Managing Director) and James Howard-Vyse (Director). Marketing channels are limited to the website portfolio and organic social presence on Instagram and LinkedIn.
