Catherine Blaikley and Jonathan Kearney from TogoRun
TogoRun’s European hub in London has made a brace of new hires, including appointing Jonathan Kearney as a director.
He joins the London-based healthcare communications and public affairs agency from Havas Life Medicom, where he spent two years as a director, prior to which he served at Cohn & Wolfe, Shire Health International (now Ogilvy Healthworld), Burson-Marsteller and Munro & Forster.
In his new role at TogoRun Kearney will be tasked with driving growth and development, with a particular focus on the agency’s specialist offerings in metabolics and medical aesthetics.
He said: “I’m hugely excited about the opportunities ahead for TogoRun. The team is vibrant, creative and dedicated, and focused on providing clients with the best agency experience of their careers.
“I look forward to helping the team continue its impressive growth and to develop new ways to make a real difference to our clients and, most importantly, the people our clients serve.”
TogoRun has also appointed Catherine Blaikley as an account executive, who comes to the role after a three-year stint working for the NHS as a community dietitian in Berkshire following the completion of a degree in nutrition and dietetics.
Tim Geldard, managing director of TogoRun UK, said: “Jonathan brings a wealth of experience and an exceptional reputation within the industry for developing integrated international communications strategies and navigating programmes across multiple therapeutic areas and channels.
“Catherine also perfectly fits the TogoRun mould, with her NHS experience already proving an invaluable asset for our health and well-being clients. It’s a real coup to have Jonathan and Catherine on the team.”
