Not an agency* The layer-laden teams. The prehistoric processes. The impersonal, ego-driven dog-and-pony shows. Take what you think you know about agencies and burn it. P10 was born of the idea that if something isn’t working—or could work better—change it. And that’s exactly what we did. We know that what we’re not makes us who we are. And we’re not just another agency. We are people driven by a palpable passion and purpose, felt by our clients from the very first conversation. P10 brings together a team of diverse, remote-only seasoned professionals to deliver exceptional value for our clients. Dare to do something different - join us. ## About Princeton10 ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Princeton10 is a fully remote, independent healthcare marketing agency that combines strategic consultancy, creative execution, and technology to deliver high-impact campaigns for pharmaceutical and biotech clients. - **Entity Type**: Private (Independent, bootstrapped) - **Headquarters**: Montclair, New Jersey, USA - **Founded**: 2017 - **Founders**: Marcos Sanchez (Principal Managing Partner) ## Core Business - Primary industry: Healthcare advertising and marketing (pharma, biotech, patient support) - Target customers: B2B – pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies (enterprise clients such as Leo Pharma, Sanofi, Incyte, Abbott) - Mission: To disrupt the traditional agency model by ensuring senior-level talent works directly on client accounts, avoiding the “juniorfication” common at large holding companies.
