Andrew Spurgeon, chief creative officer Europe, Publicis Health
In his new role, Spurgeon will have overall responsibility for the standard of creative output from all Publicis Health agencies in Europe. Spurgeon has held a senior role at Langland UK, a Publicis Health company, for the past decade.
During this time, the agency has won the Cannes Lions Health Agency of the Year award twice, and Global Agency of the Year at the New York Festivals Global Awards five times. Spurgeon will report to Philip Chin, president Europe, Publicis Health, and Kathy Delaney, global chief creative officer, Publicis Health.
“Andrew (Spurgeon) is an exceptional and hugely respected creative leader”, said Philip Chin, president Europe, Publicis Health.
“His promotion to Chief Creative Officer Europe will undoubtedly result in better creative work across the region, which is great for our agencies and more importantly our clients”, he added.
Victoria Wright, group managing director, Publicis Health
Additionally, Victoria Wright has been promoted to group managing director, adding Langland UK to the portfolio of Publicis Health agencies under her direction in the UK. This move follows the departure of Alison Ferrucci, general manager at Langland UK, who was at the agency for eighteen years. Wright will continue to report to Philip Chin.
Commenting on Wright’s promotion, Chin said “under her direction, Publicis LifeBrands, Publicis Resolute and Real Science Communications have achieved record-breaking growth over recent years. In her new role as Group Managing Director, Victoria will also take on responsibility for leading Langland in the UK”.
