Experience Counts
Since 1987, MMG’s efforts have resulted in more than:
Patients screened
Sites engaged
Studies enrolled
Countries supported
Helping you achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in enrollment
We weave DEI into our clinical trial recruitment strategies to overcome the most critical enrollment barriers and achieve appropriate representation.

The most critical barriers to trial enrollment are transportation, financial burden, mistrust, education, and neglect.
MMG tackles each of these barriers with:
- Travel concierge and payment services.
- Plain language and multicultural clinical trial education materials, including videos and retention items
- Training webinars and videos for sites
- Direct outreach to trusted community leaders
- Partnership for Access to Clinical Trials (PACT) program
- Social listening and data mining to inform outreach placement
Our strategists continue to develop bold solutions so that your clinical trials meet enrollment goals and participation access is available for all.
DCRI and MMG win Gold for Increasing Recruitment Diversity
Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), in partnership with the Matthews Media Group Agency (MMG), received the MM+M Gold Award for the inclusion of diversity in clinical trial marketing. The objective of the MM+M Awards is to recognize, champion and celebrate creativity and effectiveness in healthcare marketing and communications.
An MM+M Award is valued because recognition comes from industry peers.

About MMG

Molly Matthews founded Matthews Media Group (MMG) in 1987 after a determined search to find a clinical trial option at the National Cancer Institute.
While her perseverance paid off for her family, she discovered a gap between life-changing clinical research and the patients and physicians who could benefit from it. Molly committed herself and MMG to closing that gap, and we are proud to advance the vision of clinical research as a care option.
Today, MMG is a proud member of the world's largest healthcare communications network, Omnicom Health Group (OHG).
The clinical trials we support benefit from our access to OHG's cutting-edge communication solutions and coveted partnerships in research, analytics, and digital technologies, as well as The Omnicom Group's vast buying power. We are privileged to scale these strengths to programs of all sizes.
Leadership
MMG's leadership team drives our relentless commitment to being the most trusted clinical trial patient engagement partner with patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, research sites, partners, and clients.
