Virgo Health appoints new head of digital

Virgo Health has announced the appointment of Tom Griffiths as its new head of digital, thus strengthening its leadership team.

Mr Griffiths joins the organisation from Care UK, where he was credited with successfully building a central digital team and reorganising the business' digital offering across its four health and social care divisions.

In his new role at Virgo Health, he will be tasked with leading the agency's digital offering, providing senior strategic leadership across its Communications (Rx), Consumer Health and Wellbeing, and Health Education divisions.

His experience with Care UK – as well as previous employers such as Tamar, 20:20 and Oxfam – will be instrumental in helping Virgo to broaden its digital and social media capabilities.

Sarah Matthew, joint chief executive officer of Virgo Health, said: "Digital is integral to all that we do and we are delighted to have Tom on board so that we can continue to offer our clients cutting-edge communications programmes grounded in digital insight."

Last month, the agency announced that its global executive creative director Rebecca Rhodes had been selected as a member of the Health and Wellness Jury for the prestigious Lions Health awards.
