Healthcare does not need another agency.
It needs domain insiders that tell the truth.
STR3 was founded with one goal:
Help healthcare innovators connect what they build to the one constant in every decision - the patient.
We build B2B brands that translate technology into emotion, shaped by a non-linear career across two continents where patient experience and commercial success have always moved together.
To turn that experience into your next stage of growth, we pair human judgment and deep domain expertise with the diagnostic force of nunNEO - our proprietary intelligence engine - and carry your brand across borders and cultural lines.
We believe the most powerful brand story isn't what the technology does, it's how it makes people feel.
Most healthcare branding looks the same because it's made the same way: By generalists, at arm's length, optimized to look good rather than to be chosen.
We built STR3 to work the other way. Foundation before facade, always.
About the Founder.
Hi, I'm Philipp, and it's my mission to give the scientific complexity of healthcare and MedTech the emotional clarity that earns trust.
Born in Germany and now living in the US, I've spent two decades inside healthcare on both sides of the Atlantic. I've been fortunate to work for some of the most demanding companies in the sector: Straumann Group, Formlabs and Carestream Dental.
I watched the same thing happen again and again. Genuinely excellent technology, built by serious engineers and scientists, would fail to land. It failed not because the product fell short, but because no one had translated it for the people who had to believe in it first.
Two lessons from the inside stayed with me. One, what an audience needs to hear, and in what order, before it trusts a company it has not met. Two, that a brand earns conviction one stakeholder at a time, from a clinician, a CFO and a procurement lead, each answering to a different fear.
But most of all, I learned that our focus should always be the person on the other end of the technology: the patient.
STR3 is where the threads of my life meet. I have always moved between art and engineering, the visual and the technical, the human and the built. Design taught me that clarity is a discipline, not a decoration. Technology showed me how far the right idea can travel. STR3 is what happens when all of it converges: art's eye, design's rigor, technology's reach, and a healthcare insider's judgment.
I built STR3 to be the firm I wish I'd had through those years. Founder-led, healthcare only, built to make serious work impossible to overlook in the rooms where it gets judged. Not louder. Clearer.

Where Healthcare Strategy
Meets Creative Excellence.
Our advisory board isn't about prestige. It's about pattern recognition.
These are people who have scaled MedTech brands across continents, evaluated hundreds of healthtech companies for investment, and shaped visual narratives for brands like Nike, Absolut and The New York Times.
Their judgment informs the frameworks we build, the positioning we recommend and the identities we create.
When we say we understand healthcare, it is because we learn from the people who have built it.
Andreas Nitschke.
Advisor, Organizational Excellence
Andreas is a longtime leader at Straumann Group, working at the intersection of program, portfolio and process across a global MedTech organization. He advises STR3 on the operational discipline that turns brand strategy into something an organization can actually execute.
Mario Wagner.
Advisor, Visual Identity
Mario is a Berlin-based illustrator whose work has shaped visual narratives for Nike, Absolut, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Lancet Neurology, a rare combination of consumer-brand and editorial range. He helps STR3 lift healthcare brand work out of the generic clinical aesthetic, so clients look as distinctive as they are.
