About Spherico

Spherico is the market access agency of GSW-one of the largest full-service healthcare advertising agencies in the U.S. We exist because Syneos Health believes access is essential : life-saving and life-enhancing therapies should be available at the right time, every time.

When brands need to gain or optimize access so their medicines reach their potential, Spherico identifies unmet needs and the issues that magnify a product's value-and we find ways to accelerate growth, regardless of the barrier. Our diverse capabilities-advertising, digital, communications planning and predictive modeling, media, and market research-are delivered by a team of best-in-class marketers.
