I'm Claudia, a fractional marketing lead for healthtech and medtech companies.

You might be here because your marketing needs to speak convincingly to clinicians, NHS buyers or health system executives, and it isn't quite landing. Or because you've got activity running across a few channels but no one senior joining it up. I help healthtech and medtech companies build the marketing strategy and execution to change that.

Claudia Orrell, fractional marketing lead

People hire me because they need to…

Five ways companies typically bring me in, often starting with one and expanding from there.

Bring senior marketing leadership in-house

Embedded support that adapts to your setup: directing and mentoring a team that's already in place, or rolling up my sleeves and running things myself when there isn't one.

Get a product or company positioned clearly

Clear go-to-market and positioning strategy for a specialised, regulated market: the kind that needs real subject-matter grounding to get right.

Turn their CRM into a working demand engine

Segmentation, targeting and campaign infrastructure built on top of platforms like HubSpot, so you can see whether the right buyers are moving through, not just how many leads came in.

Reach clinicians and NHS buyers with the right content

Persona-led channel strategy and content production, including thought leadership blogs, podcasts and webinars, that speaks credibly to clinical and NHS audiences, not generic B2B messaging.

Bring AI properly into their marketing workflow

Hands-on support choosing and integrating AI tools into your marketing workflow, with training so the team actually adopts it.

Let's see if we'll work well together

I keep my client roster small and work directly with every company. A few things worth knowing.

Hands-on execution

Strategy and delivery aren't separate: I get stuck into the doing, not just the planning, so nothing sits waiting for someone else to pick it up.

→ Perfect if you don't have a full in-house team yet

Embedded, not bolted on

To really understand your product and market, I like to sit inside the team, talking to customers, clinicians and stakeholders directly where useful.

→ Great if you're comfortable with me speaking to your customers directly

Focused, dependable time

I work fixed days each week rather than spreading myself across too many clients, so what you get is consistent senior attention, not leftover hours.

→ Ideal if you'd rather have reliable focused time than a stretched generalist

About

I've run an independent fractional marketing practice since January 2020, specialising in B2B healthtech and medtech for the past 11 years. I've been Fractional Marketing Director for ImproveWell across a five-year engagement, built the initial brand and marketing strategy for ophthalmology-focused Medevise, and led production of a healthcare improvement podcast in collaboration with East London NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

My work spans marketing strategy, branding and positioning, ABM and demand generation, HCP and NHS-facing content and, more recently, helping healthtech marketing teams bring AI properly into how they work. I'm based in southeast London and work across the UK and Europe.
