Onyx Health launches UK-wide competition for life science SMEs

Healthcare marketing communications agency Onyx Health is launching a UK-wide competition in the health and life science sector. First prize will be £5,000 (~€5,600) of Onyx’ communications expertise for free.

The competition is aimed at innovative start-ups and SME's in the health and life science sectors.

This forms part of Onyx Health’s #ThinkBig campaign, which will be running throughout 2021 and is about encouraging life science start-ups and SMEs to fulfil their commercial potential.

The #ThinkBig campaign includes budget-friendly packages, marketing activities and a programme of educational events, designed to support SMEs and start-up businesses grow and flourish.

Onyx Health believes small businesses should have access to the same healthcare expertise as large corporations. Associate Director Louise Flintoft said: "With the #ThinkBig initiative and our competition launch, we want to help healthcare and life science spin-outs and SMEs kick start or accelerate their development.

Right now, the healthcare sector is having to face up to new challenges and opportunities, such as the cancellation of events and restrictions on visits in clinical settings, which are forcing them to look to innovative solutions to engage and interact with their customers.
