Who are we? OLIXIR is a next‑generation healthcare agency, created by uniting FCB Health London and McCann Health London as part of Omnicom Health’s evolving European structure.
By bringing our teams together and combining our strengths, we’re building something entirely new: a more agile, more connected, and more ambitious partner for healthcare brands. OLIXIR blends award‑winning creative excellence with deep scientific expertise, strategic thinking that drives meaningful brand growth, and fully integrated production at scale. We’re also unlocking new innovation opportunities, powered by AI and future‑focused ways of working.
