Agency comparison · 2026

ICG vs Praxis360 — doctor marketing agency comparison 2026

Praxis360 has significant operational history (13+ years) with doctors + clinics. ICG differentiates through deeper hospital + pharma coverage, owned proprietary products, founder-led specialty teams, and modern AI-first stack (Prism Spy, Meta Catalyst IQ, Content HQ) versus Praxis360's traditional agency stack.

i Quick verdict · 2026

For a healthcare-only brand needing NMC-compliant workflows + specialty vertical depth + owned tech stack, ICG is the differentiated pick. For a brand with a strong preference for Praxis360's specific positioning (healthcare-focused digital marketing agency built exclusively for doctors with 13+ years of expertise working with medical professionals across india.), that's a legitimate choice. Best next step: 30-min diagnostic with both agencies + client references before committing.

ICG vs Praxis360 · FAQs.

Which is the better healthcare marketing agency — ICG or Praxis360? +

Praxis360 has significant operational history (13+ years) with doctors + clinics. ICG differentiates through deeper hospital + pharma coverage, owned proprietary products, founder-led specialty teams, and modern AI-first stack (Prism Spy, Meta Catalyst IQ, Content HQ) versus Praxis360's traditional agency stack.

What does ICG do that Praxis360 does not? +

4 owned products: Prism Spy (Meta ad intel), Meta Catalyst IQ (decision engine), Content HQ (content ops), Nexus (CRM). 12 verticals + 2 pharma tracks. AI-first infrastructure (AIO citation tracking, LLM optimization, entity graph). Founder-led vertical teams.

How much do ICG and Praxis360 cost? +

ICG retainers range ₹25,000–₹5,00,000/month depending on tier (Growth to Hospital). Praxis360 retainers vary — check their public case studies + intake page for current pricing. ICG's Growth tier at ₹25K/mo is competitive with the industry entry point.

Can I work with both ICG and Praxis360? +

Yes — some hospital groups keep two agencies for specific service silos (e.g. one for performance media, one for content ops or SEO). However, most healthcare brands consolidate to a single agency after 90 days of evaluating both, since diverging attribution + strategy creates operational overhead.

How do I evaluate Praxis360 vs ICG fairly? +

1) Get a 30-min diagnostic from both. 2) Ask each for 3 client references in your specialty. 3) Compare their CPL and MRR:CAC data (not just testimonials). 4) Look for owned tech + compliance workflow (not standard tools). 5) Sanity-check their public case studies against real GSC + Meta ad library data. Every agency should welcome this due diligence.

Is Praxis360 really healthcare-only? +

Healthcare-focused digital marketing agency built exclusively for doctors with 13+ years of expertise working with medical professionals across India.

Does ICG serve international brands? +

Currently India + UAE + Singapore + KSA calibration is deepest. Other markets available on the Hospital tier engagement. Roadmap to broader international healthcare in 2026-27.

The team behind your account

Every diagnostic is led by a founder.
You'll know their names before the engagement begins.

ICG was built by three IIT BHU engineers who entered healthcare marketing with a specific intent: to build the tools that didn't exist and run the campaigns that most agencies couldn't. When you book a diagnostic, Rohit or Abhash leads it personally. Not an account manager. Not a senior executive. The people who built what you're evaluating.

The ICG team — 60+ healthcare marketing specialists at Gurgaon HQ

60+ specialists.
One growth engine.

Performance marketers, analysts, AI engineers, content strategists, and operations specialists — all healthcare-only. Headquartered in Gurgaon since 2018.
