The mission of KarpaloGroup

As a rewarded creative agency with 20 years of experience in industry, the mission of KarpaloGroup is to help pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare providers in grasping attention and improving human lives around the world. We make sure health marketing always comes with a little twist to make your product stand out and to help you achieve your business goals.

Bland has a high price

Regardless of the marketing medium chosen, you only have a few seconds to catch the attention of your target group. Just a few seconds to deliver a message that reduces discomfort or pain, provides a cure for a rare disease, or makes the rest of someone’s life more tolerable – or even gives someone more time to live.

Bland health marketing is like a placebo going through your body: without the active ingredient or a unique edge it does nothing to truly improve health. This is why we at KarpaloGroup think that in health marketing, bland or even boring advertising can be dangerous.

Karp-e diem!
