If symptoms persist, you may need something stronger. Discover the leading cause of MedComms headaches – and how Word Monster can help.
We hope your little dose of chocolate brightened your day. We’ve loved working with our pharma and agency clients this year, and we’re looking forward to helping you unwrap new opportunities next year.
But first, let’s talk about a serious affliction that impacts the pharmaceutical industry and everyone who works within it: Friction in Pharma™.
Sugar. Caffeine. A quiet scream into your wastepaper basket.
We’ve all reached for at least one of these tried-and-tested remedies when faced with a challenge — whether it’s misaligned stakeholders, regulatory roadblocks, or the pressure to deliver exceptional work under impossible timelines.
But while short-term fixes like chocolate can soothe the symptoms of MedComms headaches, they rarely address the underlying issue: friction.
And friction is everywhere. Whatever your role, whatever your project, chances are you’ve felt it. Friction in Pharma™ is the leading cause of MedComms headaches and is estimated to affect up to 85% of medical affairs directors and 90% of brand managers.* In severe cases, it can even slow down the work that matters most — the work that reaches patients.

Forget quick fixes. Our approach is built on evidence-based frameworks designed to drive behavioural change and create continuous cycles of improvement.
We’ve invested countless hours uncovering and treating the points of friction that emerge throughout the drug development lifecycle.
With our novel mechanism of action and convenient administration, we offer a long-acting formulation that targets friction at the source — not just the symptoms
The result? Healthier working relationships, efficacious communication strategies, and fewer headaches.
This is Intuitive MedComms.
Whether you’re a long-standing partner or have worked with us intermittently, we’re excited to reconnect in 2026 and explore how we can help you and your team eliminate friction and achieve your goals.
Whatever you need — whether it’s a reinvigorated scientific strategy, a company-wide training programme, or simply to find a safe pair of hands — we’d love to help.
