During 2021, Real Chemistry achieved significant growth of Swoop and IPM.ai, pioneers in using machine learning, artificial intelligence and real-world data to solve big challenges in health care and combine the power of technology with expert health care insights and services. The company’s starpower team led increased influencer and celebrity activations across the industry, bringing Hollywood to health care.
  • Continuing to play a critical role in the fight against COVID-19 through its partnership and work with clients to bring vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics to market in record time. Real Chemistry partnered with leading public health and advocacy groups, including the Black Coalition Against COVID, the Ad Council and the World Health Organization, to drive education and public awareness of the importance of vaccination and champion health equity.
  • Being recognized as a Best Place to Work by numerous industry publications, including MM+M Large Agency Network, and winning more than 250 industry awards, including a Cannes Lion, Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Company in 2022, and eight Clio Health awards.

“2021 was another year of incredible growth for Real Chemistry – one made possible by our people and our clients who are bringing vitally important life-saving vaccines, therapies, diagnostics and technologies to patients,” said Narayanan. “We achieved these results during the greatest health crisis of our lifetime, and they are a testament to our purpose. I am very proud to lead Real Chemistry at a time when we are seeing tremendous innovation and opportunity in the health care industry and in our own business as a result, and am immensely grateful to our Founder and Chairman Jim Weiss and our leadership team for everything they did to drive our success over the past year. We are well positioned to continue to grow, innovate for our clients and be a great place to build a career.”

2021 also was a year of significant growth for the company as an employer. For the full year, Real Chemistry hired more than 850 new employees, with full-time staff now approaching 2,000. In addition to launching new Business Resource Groups in an ongoing effort to make Real Chemistry a more inclusive place to work, the company continued investing in ways to support its people through the pandemic with counseling, tech-enabled applications and supplemental in-office and home resources. The company also launched a new mentoring program in early 2022, underscoring its focus on continued growth and development for its people.

“The work we do with our clients has never been more important than it is today,” added Narayanan. “We are privileged to have some of the smartest minds in health technology, data analytics, commercial and clinical strategy, advertising, communications, medical education and activation – all of whom are helping to solve the greatest health challenges facing society. Our significant history of financial success and stability is unmatched, and we are committed to continue investing in our people and organization.”
