Our Values
Be Excellent
We never do “just enough” – we aim for exceptional. Excellence is our baseline, whether it’s in the precision of our words or the impact of our ideas. From the get-go and at every stage of every project, an expert is on hand and always visible. Our Medical Writing Specialists partner with Account Handlers bringing their deep understanding of hundreds of therapy areas and diverse audience needs. Together they create a scientific story that powerfully engages and resonates with HCPs and patients. With monstrously big brains and bucket-loads of lived med comms experience, our top talent worldwide is raring to deliver mighty support across every stage of a product’s lifecycle. Our putting life first, flexible working model cares for our team ensuring they thrive and consistently deliver excellent work
Be a Team Player
Collaboration is where the magic happens. Each of us brings unique skills to the table, but it’s our collective effort that drives success. From quarterly finance reviews to our annual Monster Mash, everyone in our team is not just invited but encouraged to be a part of the journey. We ensure every voice is heard, valuing each team member’s perspectives and insights. This team spirit extends seamlessly to our client relationships. Our authenticity resonates, attracting amazing clients who not only appreciate our team approach but also share in our core values.
Be Transformative
Since our inception, we’ve been the med comms agency that breaks the mould, paving a unique path in the industry. At the heart of it all is our mission to transform healthcare communications worldwide, driving us to think differently, act differently, and go boldly into the unknown. Through our strong culture of intrapreneurship, our team is empowered to take calculated risks and explore innovative ideas. From our CPD-accredited Monster Academy courses to our Monstrous Med Comms, we thrive on breaking barriers and embracing the unexpected. Open-minded and forward-thinking, we’re always on the lookout for fresh ways to deliver brilliance for our incredible clients. With us, being transformative is not just a value—it’s a way of life.
Be Inclusive 
Diverse perspectives make us stronger. Every voice matters, and we’re committed to an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, respected, and valued. We celebrate our team’s differences, ensuring that diversity is not just acknowledged but actively embraced. Our team’s varied backgrounds and life experiences form a rich tapestry of strengths, perspectives, knowledge, and creativity. Committed to being a force for good, we’re on the path to B Corp status, reflecting our dedication to a more inclusive future. We’re an equal opportunity and disability-confident company. Gender representation is a priority for us; over 85% of our monsters (and half of our senior leadership team) are female.
Be Resilient
When challenges arise, resilience is how we overcome them. With our mission front and centre, we focus on moving forward. We embrace openness and honesty, not only within our team but also in our relationships with clients. This means not just celebrating wins, but also acknowledging when things aren’t going as planned. It’s in these candid discussions and through fostering a growth mindset that true progress can be made. Carving out time to reflect, we bounce back with learnings from challenges and reassess opportunities from moving goals in a continuously changing landscape.
