About The Company
21GRAMS is the advertising and education arm of Real Chemistry. Ranked the #2 health agency in the world by Cannes Lions.
More than a name, 21GRAMS is the philosophy that guides everything we do. Inspired by the “21 Grams Experiment” of 1907, which tried to prove the existence of a soul – we believe great work connects with the human spirit. So we get to know our audiences better than anyone (through the ancient art of human interaction and Real Chemistry’s industry-leading data and analytics) and find the 21 grams that makes people tick. Our goal? Make advertising less of an interruption – and more worth people’s time, attention, and action – because it actually “gets” them.
Creatively, our mantra is “medicine should be more inspiring than sneakers”. We aren’t here just to do the best work in our industry, but the most inventive work period. That ability is heightened, as part of Real Chemistry. Interacting and combining unalike disciplines, talents, and technologies (across Clinical, Commercial, and Corporate) to create new answers to modern health’s biggest challenges.

<p>Working with Real HART: Since the pandemic, we have adapted to how our people told us they want to work. We have <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.realchemistry.com%2Fcontact&data=05%7C02%7Cclehmar%40realchemistry.com%7C1f18aaed4326491b3efc08ddd690f025%7C6fa5bfc4f95843f8bb395d382689654b%7C0%7C0%7C638902640185946162%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RaaFz74lr4w5sHeHes3mfzDyELYxdkgBPL34VpVyXQA%3D&reserved=0">office locations</a> in cities in the US, UK, and Europe with many employees and clients that serve as hubs where and when they need us.<em> </em>For employees who are within an hour of one of our offices, we expect attendance in the office two days per week, either at a Real Chemistry office or onsite with clients. We are also actively opening new office locations, so if one opens near you, our Real HART policy will apply. We are not looking for attendance for the sake of attendance but believe that the opportunity to coordinate in-office team meetings, 1:1 meetings with managers, taking advantage of on-site learning, and connecting with client partners is a critical to delivering on our purpose of making healthcare what it should be.<em> </em>Outside of these offices, we have regions, where people work remotely but come together quarterly for collaboration, culture and learning opportunities. We call this our Real Hybrid and Regional Teams (Real HART) approach. Real Chemistry believes we are best together – and our workplace strategy fosters connection and collaboration in person – but also supports flexibility for our people.</p>
