The 10 Highest Performing Life Science Marketing Agencies in 2025

Here are the top ten life science marketing agencies based on our research and analysis, in no particular order. While we have focused predominantly on the life sciences, we have included some healthcare and digital health agencies in those cases where their sector expertise also branches out to include other areas (e.g. CRO, CDMO, diagnostics, life science instruments and tools etc.). 

We also wanted to highlight that we have included ourselves in the list, as we’ve been delivering world-class, full-service marketing to life science companies for over 10 years! However, if you’re here on the BioStrata website, you’ve hopefully seen what we can do through our full array of services, sectors, and case studies, so we’ve left ourselves until the end of our list. 

1. Supreme Optimization

Founded in 2015, Supreme Optimization specializes in digital marketing exclusively within the life sciences sector. Under founder Sheldon Zhai’s leadership, the agency has maintained strong client retention rates and experienced rapid growth to over 200 global staff, including 70+ with PhDs. This allows the team to combine deep scientific understanding with data-driven marketing techniques to craft highly targeted, credible campaigns tailored to technical and scientific audiences. 

Supreme’s core services include web development, SEO, digital advertising, social media management, ABM, and recently expanded trade advertising and public relations capabilities. Of all the agencies on our list, Supreme has the strongest technical capabilities, with dedicated AI, data, technology, and web development teams with experience deploying complex, data-driven solutions from simple 10-page websites to large ecommerce builds with 100,000+ products connected to ERP, CRM, and advanced analytics platforms. 

The agency focuses on delivering measurable results via performance marketing approaches, as demonstrated by successful collaborations with industry leaders such as Fujifilm, Covaris, and DWK Life Sciences. For instance, their campaigns have consistently increased online visibility, improved lead generation, and supported successful product launches, as evidenced by the range of case studies and testimonials available on the Supreme website. In one example working with the team at Halo Labs, the agency was able to reduce cost-per-lead for Halo’s Google Ad programs by 48%. In another, Supreme helped Promega increase lead generation by 300% at the same time as halving the total ad spend!

Given these types of results, it is perhaps unsurprising that Supreme also has industry-leading net promoter scores for client satisfaction (9+) and a 99% employee retention rate, so clients can be confident that their account team will be around for the long-term. 

2. Linus Group

The Linus Group is nearly 30 years old and operates as a strategic consultancy for life science and healthcare companies, focusing heavily on upstream marketing strategy rather than campaign execution.

Known for their analytical, data-driven approach, Linus specializes in providing deep market insights, strategic brand positioning, and innovation consulting. For example, their strategy for Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) delivered over 13 million impressions for PacBio’s new brand within a week of the launch event, and helped secure 76 new instrument orders within 76 days.

The consultancy's approach is characterized by a senior-led team, including founder and CEO Hamid Ghanadan, a biochemist turned marketer known for his authoritative insights into life science marketing. While Linus excels in high-level strategic guidance, it typically does not handle detailed execution such as media buying or daily content creation. This makes them particularly suited for mid-sized to large organizations seeking strategic support, but keen to execute in-house. 

Given the highly strategic nature of their work, Linus Group engagements are likely premium, reflective of their high-level strategic focus and extensive market research requirements. Clients typically view their collaboration with Linus as an investment, emphasizing the agency's proven track record of delivering significant and measurable strategic value.

As indicated by the sheer number of client testimonials on the agency’s website, many clients have worked with Amendola for multiple years, highlighting the trust and reliability the agency has earned.

BONUS: Patrick Wareing (Solo Consultant)

Patrick Wareing operates as a dedicated solo consultant specializing in digital marketing and content creation tailored explicitly for life sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical device companies. While not strictly an agency, we have experience working with Patrick in the past and often recommend him when working with an agency is not a good fit due to requirements or budget.

Leveraging his scientific background—a Master’s degree in chemistry and direct experience in scientific research—Patrick offers content strategy development, SEO optimization, inbound marketing, social media management, and tailored training sessions aimed at empowering in-house teams. His clients include the likes of Fortis Life Sciences and TIP Biosystems, while his client testimonials consistently commend his thoroughness, responsiveness, and deep domain expertise, emphasizing tangible outcomes like increased organic traffic and enhanced market engagement.

The primary advantage of engaging a consultant like Patrick Wareing lies in personalized attention, flexibility, and cost-efficiency compared to working with an agency, making him a perfect fit for certain types of SEO and content marketing engagements. However, the solo consultancy model can come with limitations, such as potentially constrained bandwidth for extensive, multifaceted campaigns, so this may be something to keep in mind while evaluating the options provided in this report.
