Associate Director
What We Do
We are a free-thinking healthcare communications agency, on a mission to bring creativity and authenticity to health conversations. We turn science into powerful stories to create memorable campaigns that get people talking.
The word ‘Anthem’ derives from Ancient Greek antiphon, which means ‘voices alternating harmoniously’. So, we are passionate about creating ultra-engaging campaigns that unite, rouse and uplift.
Our clients are Global, EMEA and UK pharma and biotech businesses, and our work spans media relations to corporate communications; global strategic communications planning to online content marketing and social media; advocacy to access and value communications.
Some Things We Are Proud Of
We are a multi-award winning agency. In the last 12 months, campaigns with creativity and disease education at the heart have been given the thumbs up by judges at Communique and the PM Society awards.

About You
We’re not for everyone: we’re for the freethinking, the unconfined, the passionate, the insightful.
You will have likely worked in a similar role within an agency environment before and due to the complexity of the work we deliver and the pace at which we do it, having this experience will be an advantage.
As an Associate Director at Anthem, our main desire is you will have a passion for growing and securing business together with a proven track record of doing so. You will have a hunger to proactively source new business opportunities within existing and new clients and be passionate about leading our efforts across large, medium and small assignments. Whether developing solid proposals, concentrating on the strategic aspects of new business and business development or using account reviews and client contact to identify opportunities, you’ll be a go-getter with a growth mindset that is eager for the agency to succeed and expand.
We are a place where every employee can bring their true selves to work; where every person, regardless of background, is inspired and enabled to do the best work of their lives. We make no apologies for not being for everyone; we’re not ‘middle-of-the-road’, and neither are you. We have tenacity, and the insight, drive and passion to exceed expectations. As do you. We’re about attitude and mindset. You bring the hunger to truly make a difference, and we’ll arm you with the tools you need, the support to let you reach further than you ever have before, and the appreciation you deserve.

The Wider Network
We are part of an independent network called The Resonant Group. The Resonant Group currently comprises three companies: Bedrock, Origins and Anthem.
Think of them as siblings who have each other’s backs; driven by the same core values whilst enjoying different interests; sharing opportunities; stronger as a Group; pushing each other to be the best they can be.
Equal Opportunities
Whilst we seek talent in different places, and colleagues with varying backgrounds, we all share the same values.
We are committed to creating and sustaining an environment where anyone, from any background, feels inspired and supported to do the best work of their lives.
We deliver robust and authentic diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) programs to help every employee feel they can bring their true selves to work. It’s simply the right thing to do.
