What our clients say

One of the key strengths of the Makara team is their scientific depth and knowledge and that’s really important working in the oncology field because oncology is complex, and our assets are complex.

Medical Director, Oncology & Biosimilars

I am constantly impressed with their creativity, rapid response to requests and general overall professionalism.

National Therapeutic Advisor, UK

Makara have great strength in the depth of knowledge of their people – the front of house team IS the team…no juniors learning on the job, but experienced professionals with a good mindset willing to help, be creative and challenge us in our thinking…but in the right way.

Commercial Director

One of the reasons why I enjoy working with Makara so much is because of their flawless execution. They are an agency you can rely upon and the quality of their team is very high in my opinion making it easy to create strong plans together which, importantly, they go on to deliver on time.

Global Marketing Manager

Makara stands out from other agencies I've worked with through their ability to be flexible and nimble when timings, budgets and sometimes priorities change, helping us to meet our goals in a fast and efficient manner.

What our people say

The core values of integrity, intelligence and kindness really resonate with me. There are some great agencies out there but I really feel like Makara walks the walk when it comes to company culture and I know that my team have my back.

Executive Director

When the world was hit by COVID-19, there were companies scrambling around to set up home working and we just carried on as normal and it was great.

Project Manager

Working at Makara, I feel like I am being challenged by the leadership team and my clients to step up and be the best I can possibly be. I might be working from home but I feel the most supported I have ever felt in a working environment and that’s quite a thing to say after 25 years of working.
