Broad incumbents

• FCB Health New York (IPG Health): IPG Health's flagship creative and brand communications agency for pharma, offering brand strategy, creative, and market access support. Comparable because it competes for the same payer-engagement and brand communications budgets at major pharma, but with significantly broader geographic and service reach.
• McCann Health: IPG Health's global healthcare communications network providing creative, medical, and payer communications for major pharma. Highly comparable to Spherico in serving top-tier pharma clients with payer and brand communications work, but operating at much greater scale across multiple agency brands.
