Senior Medical Writer - BBH London

Company description

Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) is a world-famous creative agency that makes jaw-dropping, thumb-stopping, eye-opening work for brands across the globe.

Founded in London in 1982, we now have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Mumbai, Singapore, and Shanghai.

Our first ad for Levi’s showed a black sheep travelling in the opposite direction to a flock of white ones.

That’s where we got our logo and our guiding philosophy: when the world zigs, zag.

Why?

Because it’s easy to zig, to go with the grain.

It feels safe.

It feels like the sensible thing to do.

But the greater risk is failing to stand out.

We believe in the power of difference to make a difference.

Our goal is a simple one: make the best work in the world.

That’s where you come in.

We need rebels, dreamers, thinkers, mathematicians, makers, artists, visionaries, doers, observers, the different and the unreasonable.

We need Black Sheep.

People who want to make the hearts flutter and minds do flips, who can change businesses and culture.

People who want to make a difference, come here for something different.
