About C6

Partnership & Performance Alignment

Founded in 2017 in Hingham, Massachusetts, C6 Marketing is redefining clinical trial patient recruitment. As a founder-operated team, we understand that traditional recruitment models—burdened by fixed fees and misaligned incentives—often fail to deliver. That’s why we pioneered a pure performance-based pricing structure where clients pay exclusively for screened and randomized patients.

We combine a culture of absolute accountability with deep therapeutic expertise in CNS and psychiatric research. By leveraging our proprietary technology stack and enrollment methodology, refined by working with hundreds of research sites, we eliminate the friction that causes trials to stall. Unlike legacy incumbents, our success is tied directly to yours. We don’t just provide leads; we deliver completed enrollments through a partnership built on transparency, reliability, and measurable outcomes.

C6 provides the technology and rigor to ensure your next trial reaches its goals faster, better, and smarter.
