You’re on your way to changing the world.

We can help take you there. We envision a world where cancer is eradicated. Where diseases can be genetically reversed. Where the term unmet need is rarely used, and where patient doesn’t define the community we serve.

Our Story

We know life sciences. It’s all we do. It’s all we need.

Our leadership team has been driving strategic communications for biotechnology, biopharma, digital health, genomics tools and diagnostics companies for decades. Immersing ourselves in the landscape, means we know the ins and outs of the industry like no one else. We follow daily biotech news, attend major conferences and watch the trends in R&D, business models, M&A and investment strategy. Our deep, experiential knowledge of the corporate, fundraising and product development lifecycles of our clients informs the communications support they need at each step.

Masters of multi-channel communications, we understand the mediums and how to leverage them for optimal results. We’ve successfully navigated complex communications around every imaginable corporate and pipeline milestone or situation on the way to creating a healthier world.

We’re a Part of the Evoke Group

Many of our repeat clients know us as Canale Communications. Now called Evoke Canale, we are one of twelve specialty agencies of Evoke Group, a global brand, experience, and communications platform, purpose-built to make health more human™. Powered by amazing people working together in practice areas and specialty agencies, we unlock the potential of our people, our clients, and the communities we all serve.

Mission and Values

Our purpose is to support life science leaders in the creation of a healthier world. We help companies translate, visualize and amplify their stories to a myriad of important audiences as they navigate the complex labyrinth of biomedical research and drug development.

Our shared values help make this grand vision a reality.

  • Reputation is everything.

    A reputation can be damaged in the blink of an eye. We keep this simple philosophy front and center in everything we do.

  • Go for it.

    We have a culture that encourages new ideas and approaches. We believe there is no limit to better and value new ideas and approaches.

  • Pull up a chair.

    We take a team approach. Whether an internal team meeting or across the table from a client-CEO at a strategy discussion, all have a voice.

  • Drink the good champagne.

    We mean this literally and figuratively. We believe that supporting each other and celebrating our success with our clients is contagious. A “cheers!” is a sign of togetherness.

  • Diversity is vitality.

    We strive to have a diverse team and include diverse voices and behaviors in all we do. And we push our clients to do the same.

Culture

Science is multi-faceted, and so are we. Our unique personalities, quirks and interests unite to create a collaborative and enthusiastic team. And we have just as much fun outside the office as we do inside it, whether that means taking a walk down to our local coffee shop, enjoying a spontaneous happy hour or participating in our weekly bootcamp-style workouts.
