Virgo adds two members to consumer health and wellbeing team

Virgo has announced the appointment of two new members to its growing consumer health and wellbeing team.

Matthew Coy has been named senior account director of the division, while Reena Patel joins in the role of senior account manager, bringing the total headcount within the business unit to 13, reports PRWeek.

Ms Patel is a former lifestyle journalist and freelance PR professional, while Mr Coy joins the agency from Tonic Life. It has been confirmed that he will lead campaigns for Nurofen, Durex and Seven Seas' range of vitamin products.

Both will report to associate director Natasha Weeks, with their appointment coming shortly after the consumer division rebranded to reflect its increasingly diverse range of clients. It can boast expertise across the over-the-counter healthcare, beauty and personal care and wellbeing sectors, with clients including sk:n clinics, Scholl, Veet, E45, Clearasil and Optrex.

These new appointments continue Virgo Health's recent strong growth following its acquisition by GolinHarris in 2012.
