RJW & partners

What RJW & partners does

RJW & partners operates as a healthcare strategy and communications agency under the Solaris Health brand, providing specialized consultancy services to the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries. Founded in 2008, the firm is headquartered in London (The Manufactory, 1 Alfred Mews, W1T 7AA) with a registered office in Filleigh, UK, and operates through the legal entity Solaris Healthcare Network Ltd. The company employs between 11 and 50 staff and is privately held, with no disclosed external investment or public listing.

The firm's service portfolio is anchored by two core practices: Medical Communications, which translates complex scientific and clinical information into stakeholder-facing communications for brand launches, disease awareness, and behavior change; and Pricing & Market Access, which delivers global HTA submissions, payer value proposition development, evidence gap analysis, and pricing strategy across major pharmaceutical markets. Two wholly-owned sub-brands, Chemistry we Create (healthcare communications) and vivacity Advertising (healthcare advertising), extend the platform into adjacent creative and advertising disciplines. The company is a member of MISSION Health Hub, a flexible global network of independent healthcare agencies that enables cross-geography and cross-discipline collaboration across the UK, Western and Southern Europe, Nordics, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, China, and South Korea.

The business model is professional services-based, generating revenue through project-based consulting engagements with biotech and pharmaceutical companies on a quote-based, undisclosed pricing structure. The go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, with direct engagement by senior practitioners. Customer segments are mid-sized biotech companies developing novel therapies (particularly in rare diseases and first-in-class treatments) and mid-to-large pharmaceutical companies seeking support for product launches, market access, and pricing strategies. Marketing is content-driven through an Insights blog and corporate social channels (LinkedIn, X), with the MISSION Health Hub network serving as a mid-funnel ecosystem touchpoint.
