Named accounts include Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, AbbVie, Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, Boehringer Ingelheim, Gilead, Genentech, Springworks, Ferring, Haleon, L'Oréal, Dexcom, Zoetis, and NIH. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; new business is sourced through named regional contacts (Christianna Gorin for the US, Christopher Andrews for Canada, Caroline Howe for UK/EMEA) under a relationship-driven enterprise sales motion. The senior team is led by Global CEO Mario Muredda, with full C-suite coverage across operations, creative, growth, strategy, finance, and people.

Broad incumbents

• Ogilvy Health: Parent-network sibling under WPP providing healthcare communications across brand development, PR, medical education, and market access. Comparable services at network scale; also the corporate home into which Feinstein Kean is integrated.
• Edelman (Health practice): Global PR firm with a dedicated health practice serving pharma, biotech, and consumer health. Overlaps with Feinstein Kean on healthcare PR but from a much larger, multi-industry agency platform.
• Syneos Health Communications: Publicis-owned clinical and commercial services group with a large health communications practice covering PR, medical education, and market access. Overlaps with Feinstein Kean on pharma/life-sciences comms but at much greater scale.
• Havas Health & You: Global Havas network dedicated to health and wellness communications. Comparable service offering (PR, medical education, brand) but operates as a large multinational holding-co practice, not a boutique.

Direct peers

• JPA Health: Independent healthcare communications agency offering PR, medical communications, patient advocacy, and creative services to pharma and patient organizations. Closely comparable boutique-scale specialist.
• 5W Public Relations: Independent PR firm with a notable health and wellness practice serving consumer health and pharma clients. Comparable mid-sized agency model with healthcare specialization.
• Real Chemistry: Independent healthcare/life-sciences communications and data firm offering brand strategy, PR, and medical affairs to pharma and biotech. Closest comparable in size, scope, and life-sciences focus to Feinstein Kean.
• GCI Health: WPP-owned specialty healthcare public relations and communications agency. Directly comparable specialty focus with network-backed scale; the closest WPP-network analog to Feinstein Kean.
• Evoke (Evoke Kyne / Evoke Group): Specialist health and life-sciences communications and medical affairs agency serving pharma, biotech, and consumer health. Directly comparable in service mix and customer segments to Feinstein Kean.

Regional players
