At Livewire, the people we work with are as important as the projects we deliver. Livewire is a privately owned agency and is led by Karen Palmer, who has worked in medical communications for over 25 years.

Karen asked a client to give an overview of her and Livewire – and this is the response…

“Karen brings a depth and breadth of expertise, experience, creativity and rigour that is so valuable and becoming ever rarer in the world of medical communications.

She is highly skilled at developing partnerships and collaborations with clients, ranging from graduate placement students through to senior global directors and VPs across a variety of companies and therapy areas. She ensures a thorough understanding of the brief, therapy area, market, and competitor activity, and is hands-on with every single project to deliver unique, bespoke, high quality, and strategically aligned solutions, projects and programmes. In my experience, she would rather poke her own eye out with a sharp stick than be accused of delivering an average output, or providing anything less than excellence and value for money. She leads a very committed team at Livewire, leveraging the best people and strengths for the specific job at hand, working as autonomously as needed, reducing client workload/hassle wherever possible, and always making the client look good in the process! All of this has earned her the reputation of a pluri-potent medical communications professional, a valued collaboration partner, and someone who is a straight talker, kind, and fun to work with.”

Karen is based in the UK and enjoys travelling, trying new restaurants, shopping for shoes & handbags, making her friends laugh, and taking her gorgeous dog Nova for long walks in the countryside, regardless of the weather. She is also much admired by friends, family and colleagues for her culinary skills and delicious cuisine.
