Marin Bargan
Founder, Pulse Digital Health - a healthcare-only digital marketing agency in London
Marin Bargan is a healthcare marketing specialist working exclusively with UK private clinics, consultants and multi-site medical groups. He founded Pulse Digital Health to solve a problem he watched play out for years - clinics paying generalist agencies to learn healthcare on their budget.
About Marin
Marin works at the intersection of healthcare and search. His starting point is that healthcare is different, and generalist marketing playbooks quietly break in the transition from e-commerce or B2B SaaS to a clinic environment.
At Pulse Digital Health, Marin works with Harley Street consultants, private hospital groups, aesthetic and dermatology clinics, dental and orthodontic practices, IVF and fertility clinics, mental health services, orthopaedic and physiotherapy practices, and specialist medical centres across the UK, and remotely with clinics abroad. Every recommendation his team makes is filtered through medical advertising compliance - ASA, CAP, MHRA, GMC and CQC - and through a real understanding of how patients actually search when they're looking for care.
Marin writes regularly on healthcare marketing, medical SEO, healthcare paid media, marketing compliance in a YMYL space, and the emerging discipline of generative engine optimisation (GEO) for clinics.
