Ankré

Ankré is a Paris-based public relations and communications agency that focuses specifically on the health and disability sectors. Founded in 2020, the agency works with a range of organizations including non-profits, healthcare institutions, patient advocacy groups, and companies developing products or services for people with disabilities. Ankré positions itself as a partner for any entity that needs to communicate effectively about health—whether physical, mental, or societal—and to ensure that messages about solidarity and inclusion reach the right audiences.

Strategic communications for health and disability

Ankré offers a 360-degree approach to communications, combining strategic counsel, media relations, and content creation. The agency draws on 15 years of combined experience and a curated network of journalists to help clients gain visibility for their causes. This is particularly valuable for organizations in the health and disability space, where accurate and sensitive messaging is critical. Ankré helps clients navigate complex regulatory environments, avoid stigmatizing language, and craft narratives that resonate with both the general public and specialized stakeholders. The agency’s work often involves raising awareness about specific conditions, promoting new treatments or services, and advocating for policy changes that improve quality of life for people with disabilities.

Core services and specialties

While Ankré tailors its offerings to each client’s needs, its service portfolio typically includes the following:

• Strategic communications consulting (360° communication planning)
• Media relations (press releases, journalist outreach, media training)
• Content creation (articles, blog posts, white papers, social media copy)
• Crisis communications for healthcare and disability organizations
• Campaign development for solidarity and public health initiatives
• Event promotion and speaker placement for conferences
• Digital communications support (website content, SEO-friendly writing)

These services are designed to help clients maximize the impact of their messages, whether they are launching a new initiative, responding to a public health issue, or simply building ongoing brand awareness within their target communities.

Location and market focus

Based in Paris, Ankré operates primarily within the French market, where it has built strong relationships with national and regional journalists covering health, social affairs, and disability. The agency’s deep understanding of the French healthcare system and its media landscape allows it to provide nuanced advice that generalist agencies might lack. For organizations based in or targeting France, Ankré offers localized expertise that can be difficult to find elsewhere. The agency is also well-suited for international organizations that need a French communications partner to manage their reputation and outreach in the country.

Who Ankré is a good fit for

Ankré is an excellent choice for non-profit organizations, patient associations, and healthcare startups that need to build credibility and visibility in the French market. It is also a strong partner for companies developing assistive technologies, rehabilitation products, or services for people with disabilities. The agency is particularly effective for clients who value a mission-driven approach and want a communications partner that understands the unique challenges of working in health and solidarity. If your organization needs to tell a compelling story about health, disability, or social impact, Ankré provides the strategic and tactical support to make that story heard.
