Medical communicators
We understand healthcare and collaborate with clients to strategize and execute holistic, effective medical and market access communications.
We understand healthcare and collaborate with clients to strategize and execute holistic, effective medical and market access communications.
What we do
We work as a collaborative partner with our clients’ medical affairs teams, including pipeline teams, typically from Phase 2 on. Our backgrounds and expertise in science are critical in working directly with scientists as thought partners to shape a scientific strategy.
We support clients prelaunch to define unmet needs, then work collaboratively through launch and beyond to bring products to life in a compelling commercial way. Our science-forward teams don’t just talk science for science’s sake, but tell scientific stories to position a brand in an evidence-based, clinically compelling way.
Accuracy as well as expertise in regulations is key in the partnership to put prized new data before the public. We help clients, typically once they have Phase 2 data, build a strategic, audience-focused publication plan, then write and deliver publications with impeccable scientific rigor.
Our full-service market-access communications division marries clinical, industry, and real-world payer expertise to solve access challenges across a continuum of stakeholders. Our unique approach incorporates a strong foundation of science with business and marketing acumen to deliver high-quality, strategic, and well-executed initiatives that support access to healthcare.
Why we’re different
Over a third of Lockwood staff hold advanced scientific or medical degrees. Our in-house teams draw on experience in all major therapeutic areas and many rare diseases, along with highly specialized knowledge in biologics, devices, and diagnostics. We go beyond simply understanding data around therapeutic advances to uncover the insights that inform compelling stories.
Flexibility and support define how Lockwood is organized. Most of our staff have always worked from where they live. With our highly developed support structure, we attract the best talent; facilitate their best work; and as a result, many Lockwood people have been with the company for over 10 years.
Our commitment to delivering the highest quality work consistently is reflected in the long-term relationships we have with many of our clients. We hold ourselves to uncommonly high standards to advance their objectives for the ultimate benefit of patients.
Developing communications that have real impact stems from creative and innovative approaches that are built on a solid grounding in evidence. Our medical animation subsidiary, Random42, produces imagery and interactive experiences that are scientifically accurate and informative, as well as dazzling.

Kimberly, Senior Project Manager
Kimberly Chellino, Senior Project Manager at Lockwood, surprised everyone, maybe even herself, by joining the rowing team in college. What was she doing? She knew nothing about the sport going in. But curiosity, the love of water, and a sense of adventure won out over caution.

Katie, Senior Account Director
Katie Wood sat in the hospital room holding the hand of her 2.5-year-old son, Jackson. As she looked at the feeding and breathing tubes connected to his young body, the monitors beeped unsoothingly.

Suzy, Senior Account Director
Suzy Leagre, her teenaged son, and her 76-year-old father-in-law had just returned from an extensive nature hike when her father-in law collapsed unresponsive on the beach house driveway. Time froze; however, Suzy did not.

Alley, SVP, Client Services
She moved to Baltimore in 2016, knowing only one person, her college roommate’s brother Matt. He took her under his wing, treating her like a little sister and introducing her to his friends, one of whom eventually became her husband. Fast forward to 2019. Her friend group or rather “framily” celebrates the birth of Matt’s son, not knowing this may be the last moment of normalcy.
