Report by Jed Beitler, worldwide chairman and chief executive officer
Jed Beitler, worldwide chairman and chief executive officer
2014 was a very successful year, full of fast-paced work and challenging, complex client teams. Major new client wins included Amgen, Astellas, Novartis, and Otsuka. Globally, our business continued to grow through WPP team partnerships.
Our internal digital integration not only continued to build digital growth that outpaced the agency growth in the US, but also led to success throughout the network. Our interactive Google Glass experience at the American Society of Clinical Oncology was acknowledged by the WPP WPPED Cream Awards. Our chief digital officer seized an opportunity to develop and publish Rx website standards, saving time and creating consistency for all current and future clients.
We focused on growing our business organically, refining our processes with a new project management team, and further developed our specialized offerings in Primary Source Strategic Consulting and Quality Matters Health Management.
Our Sudler offices throughout our regions were recognized for their creative efforts, winning many awards for both client and pro bono work. In addition, Rob Rogers served as a judge at the Lions Health awards at Cannes in 2014, and has been appointed as jury president in 2015.
