New practice and appointments at Publicis Resolute

Publicis Resolute has opened a new government affairs practice and appointed Nick Hoile, former director at MHP Communications, as its first director of government affairs, focusing on global and European policy and politics. Mr Hoile said: “When medicine advances, healthcare systems need to adapt, but without input from expert stakeholders, policymakers can be too slow to recognise the need for change, and the opportunities to realise the benefits of scientific breakthroughs. I am looking forward to working with Publicis Resolute, and across the Publicis Health network, to build a government affairs practice that is grounded in a strong understanding of policy and politics, informed by deep scientific insight, and powered by award-winning creativity.”
The agency has also appointed Jake Davis from Havas Just as a new director on the PR side. Mr Davis brings 15 years’ experience working on global, European and UK communications accounts to the role.
Victoria Wright, managing director of Publicis Resolute, Publicis LifeBrands and Real Science Communications, said: “At Publicis Resolute, we’re all about the people. As soon as I met Nick and Jake, I knew they both had that Resolute spark. An ability to think differently and see another point of view, all the while infusing creativity – these essential ingredients create change for better health and are qualities upon which we pride ourselves.”
