Mizrahi spoke on her move to the agency: "Joining H4B Chelsea is a dream come true. It's clearly an environment that, like me, strives to push the limits of health communications through the alchemy of technology, data and humanity.”

She added: My inclusive, supportive and deeply human approach to leadership fits seamlessly with the culture that already exists here. I can't wait to partner with Violet to foster the growth of the agency and its people."

Fellow CCO, Eric Weisberg, said: "Laura immediately stood out from the many people I met because she embodied everything I hoped for, creatively and culturally, in the next chapter of 'Chelsea's' history. Her pedigree of integrated, modern and award-winning work speaks for itself, but equally impressive is her inclusive leadership style that elevates the people around her."
