To carefully design and execute personalised, effective communications plans for healthtech companies that show their value in exciting, engaging and innovative ways.
The increasingly widespread adoption of remote healthcare technology, along with the quickening pace of tech development, has led to a healthtech sector boom that shows no sign of slowing. This means the market is getting fiercely competitive for smaller startups looking to scale. SomX is an agency specifically targeting such companies, and has worked with over 25 of them to cultivate communications strategies, produce content, and win them industry exposure.
Highly specialist agencies are becoming increasingly common these days, but SomX have managed, for now at least, to carve out a fairly independent niche for themselves in the UK market. The founding pair have extensive experience across both the heathtech and communications sectors which, even if competition does begin to close in, should give them a strong headstart. Certainly, healthtech content production requires a level of expertise that could keep SomX’s field relatively uncluttered.

At SomX I always feel encouraged and supported to learn. Whether through a course, to upskill myself, 1:1's to discuss creative ideas and opinions or recommendations for mentorship. There is so much growth to be had and quickly being in a startup environment - SomX puts its team first!

SomX does remote working the right way! Every day there is always an opportunity to virtually talk face to face. As well as being able to work from anywhere and most importantly at times that suit you, so I can schedule my day for when I'm most productive.

The SomX team is comprised of brilliant, hard-working, hilarious and kind humans! We're an agency and a startup - there's a lot to do! - but we give it our all to best service our clients, and have the full support of the team whenever we need it. We're a remote team but we work hard to create a culture that means everyone feels empowered to share successes, ideas or gripes. Ultimately, we're growing this company together, which feels quite special!

SomX is a small, remote team, so effective communication is a must, and everyone's opinion truly is valued. We have a culture of openness and honesty...I feel supported to share however I'm feeling, and ask for help when I need it. On the flip side, we also love to share in our own and each other's successes!

Nothing is ever off the table, from finances to new-biz. We discuss everything as a team, and all new hires meet their team before we make any decisions. It's lovely to feel so included in the process as we grow!

Before I started I'd never produced a podcast, written client content, or attended filming for a national broadcaster; now I take these things in my stride. SomX are really keen to upskill us all as a team, which means that you're always learning new talents.
