Sudler and Hennessey announces executive appointment

Sudler and Hennessey has announced that long-term employee John Marchese has become the company’s executive vice-president and director of account services.

Mr Marchese, who first joined the healthcare marketing agency in 2000, is the first occupant of the newly-created role and will take charge of staff training, developing ideas and providing clients with insights.

During his time at the company, he has worked with a number of leading healthcare firms, including Biogen Idec, Galderma Laboratories and Colgate-Palmolive.

He has been promoted to the new role in recognition of his organisational and communication abilities, as well as his experience.

Rob Rogers, the firm’s co-chief executive officer, said: “We will be working with John to ensure cohesiveness, communication and support across the group so that the Sudler and Hennessey brand is delivered consistently to all our clients.”

The agency won a number of industry awards for its campaigns last year, including a trophy at the Globals Awards and a bronze at the IPA Best of Health Awards.
