Who we are

Langland, a Publicis Health company, is the only health communications agency that thinks further across Clinical Trial Experience, Medical Strategy & Education, Public Relations & Policy, and Advertising, to create unique value with visionary clients.

What we believe

Health brings us together. In the diseases we suffer, the medicines we create, and the causes we champion, health shows us our collective humanity. When we break the barriers that divide us, when we think further, we can create healthier futures, together.

A passion for craft

Having expert thinking is only part of our story. To ensure excellence in everything we make, we have centred our disciplines around three essential crafts: science, strategy and creativity.

As a Senior Strategist at Langland, you will be joining our award-winning Advertising discipline, focused on the art and science of inspirational brand building. 

Across Langland, our Think Further positioning captures our conviction that health extends across people, science, business and society. As an integrated agency of four disciplines centred around three key crafts, we believe that bringing together different experiences and perspectives provides opportunities to create healthier futures, together. Think Further is a challenge to see opportunities and push client expectations. It is a developing narrative within the agency, and we need people eager to embrace it, seeing where new opportunities lie, and judging when and where to push.
