Associate Digital Design Director

Company description Digitas Health London is the People-Powered Health agency: We help brands engage with people to deliver ideal health, now.
We design transformative experiences that move people further along the path to health at any moment.
By putting the power to change health outcomes in the hands of patients, healthcare professionals, carers, and payers, we help health brands create value across today's connected health ecosystem.
To do this, we start with a generous, behaviour-driven ideal then work in lean, agile and iterative ways to turn the ideal into action.

We are a generous, idealistic, straight-talking collection of creatives, strategists, analysts, social media experts, PMs, and client service leads.
We work together to help people-centric health brands deliver new business value through new customer experiences.
Whether connected content programmes, mobile apps, digital services, or social communities, we use digital and emerging technologies to help healthcare brands build loyalty, break habits, connect care ecosystems and disrupt traditional markets.

As part of Publicis Health, our small-but-mighty team works to bring applied innovation to a range of global, EMEA and UK clients, working in collaboration with other DH offices in Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco and other sister agencies in London, Windsor and around the world.
