Precision Marketing Communications for
Healthcare Brands
Your medical marketing team is stretched thin. Your product launch won’t wait. And finding a writer who actually understands GLP-1 mechanisms, FDA compliance, and how to make clinical data compelling? That’s a six-month search you don’t have time for.
I’m Julie Duck, a medical copywriter who steps in when you need specialized expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire. For over 25 years, I’ve helped medical device, life sciences, Functional Medicine, and nutraceutical brands turn complex science into content that moves the needle—while keeping regulatory happy.
Why a Medical Copywriting Consultant Makes Sense
You need senior-level medical marketing expertise. You don’t need it sitting in your office 40 hours a week. Here’s what fractional gets you:
Specialized knowledge, on demand. I bring deep therapeutic area expertise and regulatory fluency to your projects—without the ramp-up time of onboarding a generalist writer or the commitment of a full-time hire.
Fast integration, immediate impact. I’ve worked with global medical device brands, emerging biotech companies, and nutraceutical manufacturers. I know how to plug into your team, understand your product, and start delivering compliant content quickly.
Strategic flexibility. Product launches surge, then quiet down. Regulatory submissions have hard deadlines. Trade show season hits all at once. Fractional gives you expert capacity exactly when you need it, scaled to your actual workload.
Cost efficiency that makes sense. Senior medical marketing writers command $120K+ salaries, plus benefits and overhead. A consultant’s expertise costs a fraction of that and delivers exactly what you need—nothing more, nothing less.
Think of me as your on-call medical marketing department. When you need someone who can translate clinical endpoints into patient benefits, navigate FDA guidance, or write to physicians without sounding like a pharma rep, I’m here.
Therapeutic Area Specialization
Medical marketing isn’t one-size-fits-all. The writer who can nail a cardiology white paper might crash and burn on a longevity supplement campaign.
I specialize in four areas where regulatory complexity meets marketing creativity:
Medical Devices: From Class II diagnostics to Class III implantables, I understand the pathways, clinical validation requirements, and how to position innovation without overpromising outcomes.
Life Sciences: From gene therapies to diagnostic platforms, life sciences demands precision and clarity. I create websites, email campaigns, webinars, and blog content that translate breakthrough science for investors, clinicians, and regulatory audiences.
Functional Medicine: This is where conventional medicine meets integrative approaches, and the messaging has to walk a careful line. I know how to communicate evidence-based functional protocols without triggering skepticism or regulatory flags.
Nutrition & Nutraceuticals: I help brands communicate benefits, cite research appropriately, and build trust without crossing into impermissible territory. From gut health to metabolic optimization, I speak the language your audience wants to hear.
If your product sits at the intersection of clinical science and consumer marketing, we should talk.
Who I Work With
I’m the right fit if you’re:
- An emerging biotech or medical device company that needs clinical credibility in your marketing but can’t justify a full-time medical writer yet
- An established pharma or life sciences brand with seasonal content demands, product launches, or specialized projects that exceed your internal team’s bandwidth
- A Functional Medicine practice or brand that needs someone who understands both the science and the sensitivity of positioning integrative approaches
- A nutraceutical or supplement company navigating the minefield of compliance while trying to communicate real benefits to health-conscious consumers
- An agency or marketing team that needs a subject matter expert who can handle the medical complexity while you focus on strategy and execution
I work with companies at every stage—from pre-revenue startups preparing investor materials to publicly traded brands managing product portfolios. What matters isn’t your size; it’s whether you value content that’s scientifically accurate, strategically sound, and actually compliant.
