Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 1, 2010
Acknowledging more than 13 years of experience in the healthcare industry and recognizing a large demand and need for specialization, Razorfish has launched Razorfish Health, a dedicated health and wellness division that will be headquartered in Philadelphia. Katy Thorbahn, who helped build the Philadelphia health practice, will lead the new entity as general manager.
"Razorfish Health is born from the unparalleled technological expertise of Razorfish and the genuine creativity, insight and understanding of the sensitivities of health," said Bob Lord, CEO, Razorfish. "For more than 13 years, Katy's team has been building relationships with health clients and it's now time to take our next step with the launch of this brand."
With digital at its core, and an unrivaled pedigree in technology, Razorfish Health is the go-to partner to create brand experiences that give people the means to make better lifestyle choices now, and in turn, more informed decisions down the road. The agency serves the pharmaceutical, healthcare and wellness industries with a client roster currently including more than 50 brands.
"Healthcare is a different industry than any other, and that's why we're making this dedicated effort. Both the healthcare industry and technology in general are experiencing landmark change, and with that enormous opportunities to create direct connections with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals," said Thorbahn. "With this launch we are sending a message to our longtime and future clients that we are dedicated to healthcare and all of its intricacies."
Razorfish Health clients put digital at the core of their ability to improve, even transform, their businesses. The company applies offerings that encompass digital advertising, website design, search, email, analytics, and social media, among other capabilities. Razorfish Health also advises marketers on Social Influence Marketing, the company's trademark approach for employing social media and social influencers to achieve the marketing and business needs of an organization.
General Manager Thorbahn will report to David Kramer. As CEO overseeing the Health agencies for Razorfish and Digitas, Kramer will work with the leaders of each agency to continue to build strong autonomous brands.
"David Kramer has unmatched experience in leading a highly specialized digital health agency to global success. When paired with my expertise in managing the health-focused Philadelphia office, we have in place an unbeatable leadership team," said Thorbahn.
