Pharma & Healthcare



Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Marketing Agency

We take healthcare household names in our creative stride

We work with some of the UK’s best-known healthcare and pharmaceutical brands alongside leading OTC medicine manufacturers and suppliers.

From marketing research and results-driven strategic campaigns to re-branding, design, public relations, copywriting, digital marketing and web development, we have extensive experience in both B2B and B2C creative communications. We’ve helped develop nationwide consumer campaigns, focused trade campaigns, long term roll out plans, re-brands, packaging and ongoing digital campaigns, all aligned with brand and company objectives and KPIs.

As an associate member of the UK trade association, the PAGB (Proprietary Association of Great Britain, which represents manufacturers of over-the-counter medicines, self care medical devices and food supplements in the UK), we are specialists in the consumer and trade healthcare industry.

Associate membership demonstrates a commitment to working with the industry long term and gives us access to PAGB advertising services to ensure efficiency on behalf of our full member clients.

We have the necessary systems and procedures in place to handle the sometimes-complex nature of this highly regulated industry, particularly the approval processes for consumer-facing communications.

And we offer a wealth of contacts within trade and consumer media having implemented numerous print and online advertising and editorial campaigns focussed on driving both product sales and brand awareness.

NHS and Public Sector



Public Sector Marketing Agency

Proud to provide public sector marketing support

We take great pride in every single client project.

But there’s something just a little bit special about partnering with one of our most cherished British institutions, the NHS.

We’ve worked on a whole host of creative campaigns for NHS organisations including North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), The Christie Hospital, NHS Oldham, NHS HMR CCG, Manchester CCG alongside regional ad hoc projects and on-going marketing support.

We also work with a variety of public sector bodies such as Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, The Lord Mayor’s Charity and Oldham Council, amongst many others.

We recognise the pressures NHS and public sector organisations are under, both financially and in terms of mounting expectations and target objectives.

These partnerships require intensive strategic marketing, efficiency and exceptionally engaging outcomes – all operated within strict budgeting precision.

Cornerstone adopts a research-led approach to our marketing activity to ensure we understand the target audience, their barriers-to-entry and the best ways to engage and influence public behaviour-change.

Our collaborations with NWAS have been nominated for a variety of awards including its ‘Make The Right Call’ and ‘Hero Next Door’ campaigns, both of which helped achieve outstanding results.

We’re experienced in the formal tendering processes for large NHS and public sector campaigns and we’re listed with many core procurement systems as a preferred supplier.

As an ethical agency we relish opportunities to be involved in campaigns which have real positive impact and change on communities.









What our clients say

Cornerstone are like an extension of our in house comms team, always on hand to meet our needs, working with us rather than for us and with a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude to everything they do. They really are a top class outfit based around the corner from our HQ. The team are a friendly, approachable, easygoing bunch and I always look forward to meetings and phone calls with them during our projects. We have a great working relationship with the team, who are always responsive and accommodating when we give them a brief to deliver. The relationship we have with Cornerstone is built on trust, and I’m always confident that the quality, timing and delivery of the jobs they do for us will be top notch.

The nature of public sector comms is often that we have to change things last minute, that our budgets are constrained and that we want the moon on a stick quite frankly, but David and the team are a breath of fresh air and always do their best to deliver everything we ask of them, on time, and to a great standard.

Leisure is a sector we’ve matured with as a marketing agency and, essentially, it’s one that we truly value for the hugely significant role it plays in our communities and society as a whole.

We understand the challenges and that allows us to deliver the solutions – effectively.

We also understand the leisure industry is much more than just tangible assets, it’s about people – first and foremost – and communicating that message creatively is key.

As a full service marketing agency, we provide an array of integrated services including marketing research and strategy, re-branding, public relations, web development, digital marketing, social media marketing, videography, large format printing and signage.

Our expertise extends across a range of leisure management software, including the evolution of clients’ existing online booking and POS systems.









What our clients say

Since awarding Cornerstone our website tender (April 2018), the company have built a fantastic website for us, working with our CRM provider to integrate work throughs enabling a much better user experience. The website continues to go from strength to strength, and our working relationship has gone beyond becoming the initial website provider. Cornerstone have hosted branding workshops as Active Tameside looked at changing 12 separate internal brands to a more recognisable ‘one’ brand format. This work is close to a successful new launch! The working relationship between both companies is seamless and provides the foundation of productive outcomes.

We have developed a great partnership with Cornerstones over the past twelve months and their dedication to our marketing needs and website development is evident in all aspects of our online presence.
