Cerrell

Cerrell is a Los Angeles-based public affairs, public relations, and government affairs firm founded in 1966. The company advises clients on strategic communications, advocacy, coalition building, crisis management, community engagement, and public policy matters, primarily in California. While Cerrell has a healthcare and life sciences practice serving providers, insurers, pharmaceutical organizations, and biotech clients, it is not itself a biotech, pharma, or healthcare operating company. Its business is service-based rather than product-based, and it does not appear to develop therapeutic assets or maintain a drug pipeline. For a biotech analyst, Cerrell is best understood as a policy, communications, and stakeholder-engagement advisor to organizations including those in healthcare and life sciences.
