ABOUT

Who I Am

rosa garcia-verdugo phd

CEO, Founder

What makes communication successful is getting to your audience: knowing their needs and preferences and adapting to them. And I am an expert in capturing—and keeping—an audience’s attention.

Leading Science Communications

I provide communication and marketing services to the pharmaceutical, medical and life sciences sector. Ideal partners are those with challenging requests. If there is a way, we will find it. I work WITH you, not FOR you. And I have great resources.

With a broad-ranging expertise, including scientific writing and academic editing, online marketing, web design and journalism, I can adapt to your communication needs, always considering the target audience, the channel and measurable goals. Thanks to my scientific expertise, I can quickly grasp your content and needs, while my experience as a communicator/marketing expert provide me insight into what your target group is looking for. 

Good Ideas Are Key

The key to a successful communication campaign is primarily a good idea. I can understand the science and help you develop a unique communication concept considering your specific strengths. Later, the best marketing strategy will help you achieve your positioning goals.
