Chandler Chicco expands European services with Wright appointment

Chandler Chicco has appointed Alison Wright to a newly created post to help increase the agency’s European and global services to the pharma industry.

Alison joins the agency from Cohn & Wolfe London, where she led and delivered a wide range of global, European and UK programmes for clients in the pharmaceutical and healthcare arena.  

Wright worked on a broad range of international PR programmes, including accounts for Merck’s diabetes product Januvia, AstraZeneca’s respiratory drug Symbicort, and GSK consumer division’s smoking cessation product Niquitin.

Alison will be based in London and work closely with Fiona Hall, Chandler Chicco’s European Operations Director.

Fiona Hall said: “We always look to provide senior support and counsel for all our clients. The addition of Alison to the senior team will continue to ensure we provide the best possible recommendations on the back of stellar growth over the past three years, with further exciting plans for continued expansion and development over the coming three years. Alison will partner with our global colleagues in support of our growth strategies as we move into 2011.”
