College Hill appoints senior account director

College Hill has expanded its staff with a new senior account director as part of the agency’s recent growth initiatives.

Former journalist Nicole Yost has taken up the role and becomes part of the firm’s life sciences team, reports PRWeek.

Previously, Ms Yost has worked for a number of pharmaceutical and healthcare industry publications, including Scrip World Pharmaceutical News and BioPartnering Magazine.

The announcement follows recent growth at College Hill’s London and San Francisco offices, while the life science team’s financial offering has also been augmented in recent months.

Earlier this year, College Hill expressed satisfaction with the agreement of a new contract with life science firm and Nasdaq 100-listed company Qiagen, with agency becoming its corporate and financial PR representative.

The new arrangement came on the back of College Hill’s successful work in representing the molecular diagnostics specialist firm DxS, which has subsequently been incorporated by Qiagen as a subsidiary business.
