How We Work

Linnden Communication’s seasoned professionals have been on all sides of the table in life science communications efforts, whether in agencies, as reporters being pitched, in-house practitioners working with outside agencies, or academics and non-profits collaborating with industry.

We understand the challenges of small life science organizations and are ready to serve as your affordable, experienced in-house communications team, and for larger companies we can jump in at a minute’s notice to lend a hand to an existing in-house communications team with specific areas of need.

We don’t have junior staff running your program, monthly retainers, or big agency pricing – and timelines – that could slow your growth. Through years of experience, Linnden team members have gained the trust of and developed strong relationships with media, investors and other key constituents in the life science industry. We’re a flexible, dynamic senior team with a strong track record of delivering cost-effective and high value communications solutions.
