Scientific Group

What Scientific Group does

Scientific Group Limited is an independent, privately-held medical communications agency group headquartered in London with a second office in Indianapolis, serving pharmaceutical, consumer health, and medical device clients across Europe and North America. The group operates through four wholly-owned specialist agencies — AS&K (brand strategy and innovation), Remedica (evidence-based communications), The Corpus (digital-age medical education), and AS&K Consumer Health (consumer health communications) — covering the full product lifecycle from strategy and advisory boards through to advertising and medical education. The firm employs 116 people, including team members with BSc and PhD qualifications, and is led by Managing Directors Andrew Ward and Simon Gee.

The business is a professional services model: revenue is generated through bespoke, project-scoped engagements rather than a software or platform product, and no pricing or contract value is publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to life-sciences buyers, supported by a website contact channel and a LinkedIn presence (operating as "Scientific Communications Group" on LinkedIn and "WeAreScientific" as a DBA). Scientific Group is differentiated primarily through the scientific credentials of its staff, an evidence-based methodology (research, hypothesise, build, measure, analyse, learn), and a public commitment to sustainability and climate-conscious medical communications. There is no disclosed technology platform, API, or AI/ML capability, and no funding, parent company, or ownership changes are recorded in the available data.
