Emily will head up the Client Services teams, ensuring the best resource is allocated to every project and that project management and delivery is impeccable. Emily has many years’ experience in medical communications and event management and has an exceptional ability to build teams and deliver efficiency.
The appointments underpin Bedrock’s commitment to its values – to be recognised as THE creative medical communications agency and to deliver high-quality, impactful, stunning scientific medical communications.
“I am delighted to be joining Bedrock at this exciting stage,” says Alison. “Having formed Origins in January this year, the health experience research business led by my colleague Jeremy Sayers, the Bedrock group is poised for growth. The audience-centred, creative approach that has spearheaded the quality of Bedrock’s work will continue to provide us with a path to success.”
