New Mountain Capital has spun off Swoop, provider of precision AI-driven healthcare omnichannel solutions, from Real Chemistry.
Swoop operated as a unit of Real Chemistry, which ranks as O’Dwyer’s top ranked healthcare shop, for the past four years.
Its offerings help drug and life sciences brands find, target and engage with their patient and provider audiences.
Ron Elwell, founder/CEO of Swoop, sees the spin-off as a way to execute on an even more expansive shared vision for the business.
He said Swoop will hyper-focus on driving privacy-safe innovation and guide clients as they reimagine how to engage with stakeholders in a data-driven, personalized and digital manner.
Real Chemistry and Swoop will maintain a preferred partnership arrangement.
Swoop has also partnered with Ogilvy Health, Saatchi & Saatchi, FCBHealth, Klick Health, Digital, Evoke, Wunderman Thompson and McCann Health.
