PRESCRIBED FOR THE NEEDS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND HEALTHCARE INDUSTRIES
Established in 1994 as a print broking company, et al. Health Communications has evolved over the years into the innovative creative firm it is today. The design industry, like us, has gone through many changes from a predominantly print based practice through to the introduction and growth of digital media.
Today we develop cross-platform creative solutions that integrate print assets with web, tablet technology and email marketing for all our health clients.
Our clients’ security and confidentiality regarding the projects we partner with is an integral part of our professional business culture. We have Confidentiality Agreements with the majority of our clients that restricts what we can share or promote, which is why we can’t exhibit our work on this site. If you are considering a new creative team to partner with, contact Andrew Hosking on 0419 252 666 to discuss what services we can offer you.

Our branding pillars focus on getting the foundations of design aligned with our clients’ vision.

Beginning.
Instruments to deliver and gases to breathe
et al. is defined as an abbreviation for the Latin phrase ‘et alia’ which means ‘and others’. This term is commonly used in medical journals to list a team of investigators involved in a clinical study – it is a collaborative phrase the healthcare industry resonates with, and so do we.
Our business model evolved out of the need for an integrated creative service specific for the healthcare sector. The need was to provide an end-to-end offering, utilising the most experienced and renowned industry professionals, so we developed a strategic alliance with these ‘others’. et al. was conceived to bring together industry leaders in medical writing, health education, digital and creative services.
Since its inception in 1994, et al. Health Communications has serviced a diverse range of healthcare clients, where we have constantly evolved in the way we deliver branding, promotional and marketing solutions, whilst maintaining industry code-compliance requirements.
OFFERING.
Vaccines to protect and medicines to cure
Today, the majority of pharmaceutical brands adopt global campaigns and tailor them to local markets. Many clients do not need a large advertising agency to produce materials that currently exist, instead, a responsive design company who understands the requirements to make it compliant for the Australian and New Zealand markets, whilst maintaining the creative impact. Our key strength lies in ‘healthcare brand continuance’ focusing on producing materials for launch and beyond, with brand consistency across all deliverables.
et al. also has experienced graphic and web designers plus art directors inhouse, with the ability to develop new creative solutions for your brand, along with our medical writers, we can offer a range of compliant marketing and educational solutions for any product or service.
