Our Purpose
At Evergreen PR, we believe 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.
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 in engaging hundreds of thousands of people behind a cause, establishing new revenue streams or supercharging engagement with healthcare professionals.
The key is informed prioritisation. We use data, 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 improve people’s health.
How we select our clients
Our clients include health NHS organisations, royal colleges, health campaigning charities, healthcare service providers and innovative healthtech companies.
When selecting our clients we ask ‘to what extent will we be effective in working together to improve people’s health?’
