Beyond PR

What Beyond PR does

Beyond PR is a UK-based specialist healthcare and wellbeing public relations and communications agency founded in February 2024 as a spin-off from Emotive's PR & Advocacy division. The firm operates as part of Synaptiq health, a group of health-focused communications and market access agencies that also includes Emotive and Initiate. Headquartered in London (Hale House, 76 Portland Place) with an operational office in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, the company employs fewer than 10 people and serves pharmaceutical companies, consumer health brands, medical societies, and patient advocacy groups.

The agency's offering is organised around seven integrated service pillars: insight-led strategy, media relations, social and digital media, brand building and activation, patient and clinician engagement, events and congress support, and internal communications. Delivery is project- and retainer-based rather than software- or platform-based; the firm does not develop proprietary technology but augments campaign work with general-purpose AI tools alongside human strategic and creative expertise. Customer examples include Reckitt, United European Gastroenterology, the European Society for Organ Transplantation, the South Asian Health Foundation, Clinical Partners, medac Pharma, and multiple consumer health brands (GOPO, Kalms, Pro Plus, Lanes Health).

Beyond PR's go-to-market is consultative B2B sales-led, combining direct outreach, referrals, thought leadership content, and on-site presence at international medical congresses. The firm was ranked #20 in the PR Week UK Top Healthcare Agencies (up two places) with 32% year-on-year revenue growth and was named 'one to watch' by PR Week. In 2025 it partnered with 22 clients, produced over 16,000 pieces of media coverage, supported 13-14 medical congresses, and won PMEA and Third Sector Awards. The firm has no disclosed external institutional funding, with operations financed as a private limited company within the Synaptiq health group.
