We're energetic, inspired and maybe just a little off. (We said, maybe.)
At Tricycle Studios, we're a passionate and inspired cabal of writers, animators, designers, videographers, producers, and software developers who get medical marketing. In fact, we've been out on the bleeding-edge of it for over 15 years (with almost no ill effects).
We don't just talk the medical talk.
We know what it's like to rise at dawn, throw on scrubs and face the challenges of selling in clinical environments. Last year our team logged over 45 days in the field alongside medical sales reps. That hands-on, in-the-field insight allows us to create medical marketing assets that are both powerful and relevant.
Fine, don't take our word for it.
Since 1995, some of the largest medical companies in the world have trusted us to solve their toughest sales and marketing challenges. Read what they've said about working with us.
We're just like you. (Kinda.)
Meet our hardworking creative team who are as engaging and entertaining as the content they create.
