Her focus will be on the growth and alignment of the two speciality agencies to build the best teams and solutions for local, European and global clients. This integrated approach is a key part of the Evoke platform strategy, enabling clients to access the best people wherever they sit globally, and supports the objective of building the most inclusive, empathetic and meaningful experiences for HCPs, patients and consumers – all critical for realising Evoke’s purpose to ‘make health more human™’.
Corrina will continue to report into Ben Beckley, President, Evoke Mind+Matter.

Our clients want to be able to access the best talent frictionlessly, regardless of where they are in Evoke globally. As a tenacious leader with a track record in network agencies, client side and most recently leading the successful agency consolidation to launch Evoke Mind+Matter in the UK, Corrina is a huge asset to have focusing on this.
“Investing in and developing visionary leaders is central to our people strategy, as they are the ones that attract and retain the best talent in the industry. People like Corrina make us better partners and demonstrates the opportunities the Evoke platform provides as a ‘must have’ career destination. I look forward to seeing Evoke London and Evoke Mind+Matter UK work with clients to make health more human™ under Corrina’s leadership.”

“The UK market is home to some of the best strategic thinking and creativity in the world. By bringing Evoke London and Evoke Mind+Matter UK closer – and thanks to the wider Evoke platform – we are going to have some of the best talent there is working together to deliver meaningful results for our clients, and our business.
