Reynolds-MacKenzie appoints new senior leaders

Reynolds-MacKenzie has announced the appointment of two new senior leaders, as well as the promotion of a third staff member.

As part of efforts to revamp its leadership team in line with its growth strategy, the agency has appointed Nita Ares – formerly of Biosector 2 and Ketchum – as director and head of UK operations.

Meanwhile, PR and medical education veteran Jennifer Garratt will take charge of international operations, leveraging industry experience accrued during her time with companies such as Burson-Marsteller.

The firm has also promoted Monica Small to director level, providing strategic counsel to both international and UK clients.

Managing director Eva Reynolds said the appointments "will not only help us optimise our excellent client service, which no doubt draws our clients to Reynolds-MacKenzie, but also ensure we keep growing our client base and continue to succeed long-term".

Last month, the agency won an innovation prize at the 2012 Communique Awards for work carried out on behalf of the Karen Clifford Skin Cancer Charity.
