About Us

Marketing Vision Consulting specializes in the global development and commercialization of products and services across a wide range of healthcare and life-science marketplaces. We pride ourselves on the commercialization excellence that comes from a comprehensive development strategy and from infusing market insights from concept inception to market introduction. In order to navigate the non-linear sea of global commercialization and branding, one needs to understand the idiosyncrasies of each stakeholder and decision-maker at any point of the lifecycle continuum. At Marketing Vision Consulting, not only do we create every piece of the commercialization puzzle, but solve and assemble its complex components into a competitive brand.

We begin by understanding unmet medical or healthcare needs within the global market place. Then transform a concept into a differentiating, market-driven offering by bringing together learning from all stakeholders and marrying product development to the commercialization process. We do so with expertise, insightful input, creativity, strategic intensity and the utmost market-oriented focus.

From the first idea of the inventor to the final “Thank you” of the first patient, Marketing Vision Consulting is the alpha and omega of new product development, commercialization strategy and brand development.

Marketing Vision Consulting stands for global commercialization excellence.
