Maffucci Heads to Paris Office, Expanding CommonHealth Global Talent Share Program
| Source: CommonHealth
PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - October 14, 2008) - CommonHealth (www.commonhealth.com), a WPP
(NASDAQ : WPPGY ) (www.wpp.com) company and the world's leading
healthcare-communications network, announced today that BJ Maffucci has
headed overseas for a stint at the group's European hub located in Paris,
as part of CommonHealth's Global Talent Share Program.
Created to allow the organization to further its offerings to an
increasingly global clientele, CommonHealth Paris is one of CommonHealth's
two full-service professional and consumer advertising and promotion
agencies based in Europe.
The Global Talent Share Program is an initiative developed within
CommonHealth to allow employees to learn firsthand how brands promoted in
both North America and Europe are marketed differently based on culture and
region. The experience gained cultivates new insight into how to help
clients market their products more effectively. The program's first wave
sent one of CommonHealth's senior copywriters to the network's London
office. The opportunity to apply for the second phase of this program was
offered to all account services employees within the CommonHealth group.
As the second participant in the CommonHealth Global Talent Share Program,
Mr. Maffucci, an account supervisor at Altum, will spend four months in
service at the Paris office. While there, Mr. Maffucci will aid the team in
a variety of pitch initiatives and account services projects. Altum is a
CommonHealth freestanding, full-service professional advertising and
promotion company with global reach, spanning every marketing discipline
with a focus on high-science and specialty markets.
Noted David Chapman, managing partner responsible for overseeing all of
CommonHealth's professional advertising agencies and the Global Talent
Share Program, "We saw the program's first phase, seamlessly carried out in
London, as a definite indicator of future success and knew the next logical
step was to extend the opportunity to work in the Paris office to our
account services talent."
"BJ has been with CommonHealth for more than seven years, continually
excelling within the organization. His knowledge and extensive background
in client services and account management made him the ideal choice for
this rewarding opportunity," Mr. Chapman added.
Dr. Jean Marc Mosselmans, European regional president of CommonHealth
Paris, added, "We couldn't be happier to have Mr. Maffucci with us in the
Paris European hub. The continued success of the Global Talent Share
Program is essential to the organic growth and cross-cultural collaboration
that make the CommonHealth organization the healthcare communications
leader that it is today."
CommonHealth Paris is located at 21, rue Quentin Bauchart, 75008 Paris,
France. Dr. Mosselmans can be contacted directly at +33 1 73 01 89 91 or by
