Sudler & Hennessey is the Global healthcare communications network serving clients from their 63 offices across 34 countries. At Sudler & Hennessey, they've grown up through 70 years of global change, navigating the dynamic marketplace with an agile and innovative approach. In 1941, if you had asked their founders Art Sudler and Matt Hennessey what they did for a living, they wouldn't have said “healthcare” or “branding” or “global marketing”. They were exceptional designers, ideas people, and gifted talent scouts. They nurtured the bright, new creative thinkers of the day. People who designed album covers, TV channel logos (the NBC peacock is theirs), typefaces, packaged goods (Dr Brown's soda, Cutty Sark), and magazine covers, including The Saturday Evening Post. They even gave a visionary young artist his first break - step forward Andy Warhol. And as they turned their attention to a growing roster of healthcare clients, they invoked that same creative ingenuity that still defines their business today. At Sudler & Hennessey they understand what underpins their proud and successful heritage. And in an industry that has transformed beyond recognition, this one aspect remains unchanged: they still believe that people are the product.
