Making Health Happen

A healthcare PR, public affairs and communications agency that’s on a mission to make health happen.

At Evergreen PR, we know that excellent communication can transform people’s health.

That point is backed by the scientific literature and it is true at any scale: from a carefully coordinated national campaign to a single interaction between clinician and patient. Our work is focused on achieving organisational priorities so that excellent health organisations can grow their impact.

When it comes to health communications, the goal is always to elicit change.

At Evergreen PR, we start with the outcome in mind and use our MERTO Framework to find the ‘most effective route to outcomes’ for you.

Our method is proven to be effective, whether the goal is to inspire hundreds of thousands of people behind a cause, establish a new revenue stream or supercharge engagement from healthcare professionals.

The key is our combination of behaviour science and prioritisation. We use data, human insight and experience to identify the levers that will drive the biggest impact and we retain a laser focus on delivering your priority outcomes.

Creative thinking is at the heart of what we do but the goal for us is always to deliver your outcome in the most effective way.

That’s because by driving tangible value for excellent health organisations like yours we can increase your effectiveness and enable you to help more people. That’s what drives us.

We’d love to work together with you to make health happen.

Let's change things

We deliver measurable impact.
