Agency description

At Costello Medical, we enjoy building lasting partnerships in the healthcare sector by providing exceptional service. Our vision is to be a leading global partner consistently striving for meaningful and outstanding contributions that improve people’s health and lives. We are one of the most established independent agencies delivering medical communications and health economic services and remain committed to our core values of high-quality scientific work coupled with excellent customer service at competitive and transparent prices.
Since our foundation in 2008, we have grown organically to a team of over 500 based in Cambridge, London, Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh in the UK and internationally in Singapore, China and the US. Our talented team has experience with a variety of leading pharmaceutical and device companies across an extensive range of therapy areas and geographies, including Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America as well as a track record of success in a broad range of disease areas.
We are an award winning company and are proud to have achieved a 3-star accreditation with Best Companies™ for a seventh consecutive year. We have recently renewed our B Corp certification, showing that we meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance. In 2025, we were presented with the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, recognising our commitment to excellence in the global marketplace.
What we do?
Success in medical communications relies on an in-depth understanding of the science and a highly responsive team – so we offer both. We excel in the effective delivery of medical communications of the highest quality and scientific accuracy. Our multi-disciplinary and tailor made teams consist of medical writers and designers who collaborate throughout the project lifecycle to bring a range of disciplines to the delivery of innovative, science-led communication plans that educate and inspire.
Our Creative service offerings include:
– Tailored graphic design solutions that meet your project needs
