Huntsworth Health reports strong revenue growth in first half of 2013

Huntsworth Health has experienced strong growth in the first half of 2013, during which it generated 33 percent of parent company Huntsworth's total revenues.

Data from Huntsworth's latest financial report showed that the healthcare-focused agency delivered like-for-like revenue growth of 9.7 percent and a 13.6 percent profit increase during the six months.

This was driven by a 14 percent increase in digital revenues, with multi-year agency-of-record assignments representing 76 percent of the division's digital total, while multi-office revenues rose by 4.9 percent.

During the half-year, Huntsworth Health also relocated staff to its Asia regional office in Singapore to build on its new alliance with BlueFocus, while appointing new talent to build further growth platforms, including a new social marketing agency in New York.

Peter Chadlington, chief executive of Huntsworth, said: "We believe that we are on track to meet full-year management expectations."

This comes after Huntsworth Health achieved a 6.8 percent growth rate in 2012.
