Fishawack’s goal is to increase the range of healthcare communications services that it can offer to commercial and medical affairs teams. It now has healthcare creative agencies that span East to West Coast USA and Europe.
“Dudnyk brings to Fishawack a particular expertise in rare diseases, oncology, and launching breakthrough molecular medicines,” explains Christopher Tobias, President of Dudnyk. “Our seasoned team will complement Fishawack’s already expansive offering, especially in the area of commercial strategy and creative expertise.”
“Fishawack has wanted to add an East Coast healthcare marketing agency of scale and is pleased to have found that partnership with Dudnyk,” explains Oliver Dennis, CEO of Fishawack Group of Companies. “The leadership at Dudnyk clearly cares about their people, their clients, and the rare disease and oncology patients they serve. The organization’s values are very much aligned with ours.”
Fishawack is a significant provider of healthcare communication services to both medical affairs and marketing teams. Its history of acquisitions is based on the belief that the teams are stronger together than individually. “It’s not just about acquiring,” said Gail Flockhart, Group President, “it’s about making the synergies real, which means connecting talent across the organization. The best part of every acquisition is discovering what we can learn from each other.”
“Fishawack is unlike traditional networks that make introductions as client needs arise; instead, we form high-performing, inter-company business relationships early on,” says Oliver Dennis. “This is important to our clients who depend on continuity of relationships and teams they can depend on. We’re currently undergoing a rebranding of Fishawack that reflects these core beliefs, and we’re looking forward to sharing this with the healthcare marketing community in the near future.”
Fishawack received corporate finance and legal support from Rick Stark and Phil Hall of KPMG and George Danczak and James Finney of Addleshaw Goddard LLP (UK), respectively. Their financial sponsor is LDC.
