From our CEO

Our CEO reflects on the journey from Highland Marketing to Highland, and why health tech companies need strategic growth partners, not just a marketing agency.

Highland is a health tech growth partner. Originally known as Highland Marketing – an integrated marketing and communications agency focused on health tech – the company has evolved. Now under the shorter name Highland, we support health tech companies beyond traditional marketing: helping them find market opportunity, convince and engage target audiences, and importantly scale growth.

The updated identity reflects more than just a name change. It signals a deeper shift in how we serve clients. As health tech has matured, so have the needs of companies in the sector in order to accelerate success. More than marketing, they need strategic growth support. The new identity aligns with our role in helping clients find, convince, and grow in the health tech space.

Highland offers services across three core pillars. This isn’t a shopping list, but a strength of offerings we can draw on to help health tech companies meet their business objectives.

FIND: Engage Highland to find your viable market, identify your opportunity, develop your value proposition, and build your winning strategy.Β Find your market in health tech: Identify your opportunity​

CONVINCE: Strategies to propel your message and engage. Engage Highland to convince your stakeholders, condition the market, build confidence, and shape perceptions. Convince your audience in healthcare: We get you noticed​

GROW: Engage Highland to fuel your pipeline, generate leads, and gain traction with new customers and prospects with services designed for growth. Grow your market in health tech: approaches that work​

Selling, scaling, and marketing technology in health and care can be challenging. We help innovators succeed in a complex, changing market.

Highland is your strategic growth partner.

While we still do marketing and communications, but we go further:

  • We focus on business objectives and adoption, not just brand visibility.
  • We work at the intersection of strategy, policy, and commercial execution (not just creative).
  • Our identity is built around being a growth partner β€” helping clients navigate the complexity of health systems, regulatory landscapes, and procurement processes.
  • We invest time in listening and evolving, so our services shift as client needs change.

We work primarily with health tech and med tech companies β€” whether startups, scale-ups, or more established players. Our clients typically develop technologies or digital solutions for health and care settings, and need help with market entry, messaging, stakeholder engagement, policy influence, and scaling adoption.

Several forces are converging:

  • National and sector-level strategies (eg NHS long-term plans, life sciences policy) are emphasising digital adoption in health and care.
  • Innovation (especially in AI, data, remote care) is accelerating, creating opportunities β€” but also complexity.
  • Health tech companies often struggle to translate technical promise into real-world adoption. Gaining traction and getting directly in-front of decision makers needs a new type of partner.
  • As policy, regulation, procurement, and health systems evolve, companies need a partner who understands the terrain, not just marketing.

Over nearly 25 years, under the Highland Marketing name, the company has launched and championed many health tech brands that later:

  • Won major contracts
  • Influenced health policy
  • Became market leaders
  • Achieved significant adoption in health systems

Our rebrand and expanded remit aim to deliver stronger, more measurable growth outcomes for clients in the next era.

Typically, we’d start with a discovery conversation:

  • We learn about your technology, ambition, challenges, and market context.
  • We map potential opportunities, gaps, and strategies.
  • We propose a tailored plan (or engagement) aligned with your business goals.
