What clients say...
Emma Palmer Foster has been an invaluable partner to us, providing both strategic and transactional support in our communications efforts. She played a key role in helping us define a clear and effective marcomms strategy and plan, ensuring our messaging aligns with our broader objectives. Alongside this, she has delivered high-quality work on discrete PR pieces, helping us engage effectively with key stakeholders.
What truly sets Emma apart is her ability to adapt to the unique constraints of biotech companies, working seamlessly within our capabilities and resources while still delivering outstanding results. She is always eager to listen, learn, and understand the nuances of our work, and we have complete trust in her to meet our high standards with professionalism and precision. Her ability to combine strategic insight with a hands-on, results-driven approach makes her an outstanding consultant.
I worked with Emma Palmer Foster on a strategic portfolio assessment and communications approach as part of a corporate plan for my biotech. Emma brought deep biopharma communications expertise, strategic insight, and a clear, structured approach that helped refine our messaging to align stakeholders. Her ability to distil complex information into compelling narratives added real value to the project.
Emma's deep experience and proven expertise in strategic communications within the Biopharma sector has been beneficial across the MTM ecosystem. Her guidance on strategy, audience engagement, and media outreach has helped us to shape our approach. Additionally, Emma's insights provided through Communications Reviews have provided clear, actionable recommendations, helping us enhance our messaging and overall communications strategy.
Emma has regularly worked with us on pitching practice, to help our start-ups prepare for big Demo Day events. Emma always provides insightful feedback - on the strategic content of the pitches and also on the look of the slides and presentational style. Her experience in how to present to financial audiences such as investors, combined with her understanding of the science and business aspects makes her contribution hugely appreciated and results in a noticeable improvement in the pitches.
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her to any organisation seeking expert biotech communications support.
Emma helped us to look at our business strategy in a new way. That change in approach ultimately led to a successful exit, with our company being acquired a couple of years later.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Emma Palmer Foster in many guises over the last 8 or so years; both as a key point of contact for several of our science park relationships and also individually via her contribution to steering meetings, focus groups and as a speaker and moderator at many of our live life sciences events.
Emma always has excellent ideas and feedback – she is supportive, well connected, collaborative as well as solution driven and creative. She is always incredibly well prepared, great to work with and a wonderful ally to have in the industry.
