About Us

Inside Snow

In 2001, we founded the first patient engagement company in health. Today, Snow Companies’ workforce counts over 375 staff and represents close to 200 disease states, recording double-digit growth rates for several years in a row. Nobody talks to more patients or has a more engaged patient community than Snow Companies.

Brenda Snow

Founder

The patient revolution started with a single story from the first Patient Ambassador®

Our belief in the power of stories comes from a very personal place. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Brenda Snow used her experience and entrepreneurial spirit to help people living with chronic conditions connect and share their stories. She pioneered the way pharma talks about—and talks with—patients and caregivers. Today, SNOW is the global leader in patient storytelling and engagement—trusted by the world’s leading life science companies.
