Stacey Gandler
Managing Director, Public Relations, and Brand Ideation
PRotein, a division of Calcium + Company
Connecting the Dots Others Can’t See
When Calcium + Company decided to form a new division dedicated to public relations, the decision on who should lead it was a no brainer. Stacey Gandler has dedicated her entire career to building and activating brands and their reputations in the health and wellness industry. Her expertise is in nearly 30 years of creating strategically aligned audience engaging work. She has held leadership positions at both network and independent agencies. And she thrives on bringing clarity to complex high-science stories and showing the health-specific value of OTC wellness brands.
“While Stacey’s passion and energy certainly stand out, it’s truly her deep knowledge of the PR/healthcare landscape and incredible strategic experience that connect dots which some people don’t even see,” says Calcium + Company Group President, Greg Lewis. “Her ability to appropriately challenge her colleagues and client partners to think differently has yielded truly unique and impactful activations.”
Stacey has developed and overseen global and regional communications programs for patient, advocacy, and professional audiences, from pre-market early development stages through product launch, generic and biosimilar entries/competition, and beyond. As a strategist, orchestrator, collaborator, and an integrator, Stacey is paving the way for PRotein. Her vision is centered around finding humanity in the data, people, and the bonds they share. PRotein sports the tagline: Building Bonds, representative of how the right engagements and human connection will create a chain reaction between agency and client, client and patients, HCPs and patients, and more. PRotein will, in Stacey’s words, “provide value in every way, for everybody.”
Stacey’s colleagues can also attest to her intellectual curiosity and her dedication to the health and wellness industry. She is always open to other points of view and information and encourages others to remain curious.
“Stacey’s passion for ‘people and relationships’ go far beyond what I thought was possible,” says Cali Mangel, Associate Director, Engagement, Calcium. “She is always looking for ways to support her team and create strong relationships with client partners to produce impactful campaigns. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacey on day 1 and I am so happy she is leading the introduction of PR at Calcium + Company.”
