Arsenal Capital Partners (“Arsenal”), a private equity firm specializing in building healthcare businesses, announced today the acquisition of Guidemark Health (“Guidemark”), a leading healthcare marketing communications, training, and medical education agency. Guidemark is the third acquisition for Arsenal’s Value Demonstration organization, following the acquisitions of BresMed Health Solutions and Cello Health plc (“Cello Health”) in 2020.
Arsenal has brought these companies together to create a unique combination of solutions to develop and communicate evidence of value to optimize patient access to new therapies.
U.S.-based Guidemark enables biopharmaceutical companies to stay “One Need Ahead” through patient-centric healthcare marketing, education, and engagement. Its deep customer engagement and technology solutions, along with its unique mix of services, including marketing communications, training, and patient advocacy expertise, are highly complementary to those of Cello Health, the global healthcare advisory firm offering leading scientific, commercial advisory, and digital delivery capabilities. Furthermore, Guidemark’s focus on oncology and rare diseases deepens the company’s expertise in these two critical areas of drug discovery.
The addition of Guidemark Health will further enhance Value Demonstration’s ability to create deeper and more impactful engagement solutions targeted to the scientific, medical, and patient communities; solutions which connect human needs with innovative science and technology, from development through commercialization.
