Grupo Mayo

What Grupo Mayo does

Grupo Mayo (legal entity Ediciones Mayo, S.A.U.) is a privately held Spanish healthcare communications company headquartered in Barcelona with a secondary office in Madrid. Founded circa 1985 and operating for over 40 years, the company serves pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare institutions through a four-stage service chain — consulting, content creation, production, and dissemination — delivered by 51-100 in-house staff across scientific, creative, marketing, editorial, and technology departments.

Its commercial portfolio combines project-based professional services (healthcare consulting, scientific marketing, KOL management, events, editorial production, and MBP international medical excellence programs with Mayo Clinic) with subscription / recurring assets including the El Farmacéutico and El Farmacéutico Hospitales scientific journals for pharmacists, the Matronas Profesión channel for midwives, and the Aula Mayo online continuing-education platform. The company reports 600+ enterprise clients, 300+ Key Opinion Leaders, 12,000+ contributing authors, and 17,000+ completed projects. Its GTM motion is a hybrid of enterprise field sales to pharma accounts, event-driven engagement with healthcare professionals, and digital inside-sales through publications and Aula Mayo. The MBP partnership with Mayo Clinic Hospital Rochester is the only channel with a global footprint; the remainder of operations are concentrated in Spain.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; operations are supported by ISO 27001 certification and GDPR/LOPDGDD compliance. The company is a single-shareholder Sociedad Anónima Unipersonal with no disclosed venture or private equity backing, and no leadership transitions, M&A, or funding rounds are referenced in available material.
