COLUMBUS, Ohio –November 6, 2009– GSW Worldwide, an inVentiv Health company (NASDAQ: VTIV) and one of the largest healthcare advertising agencies in the world, announced today that Bruce Rooke, Chief Creative Officer, will partner with President Tammy Fischer in leading a new creative renaissance in the agency's growing New York office. "In spite of the downturn across the industry, GSW Worldwide has experienced rapid growth in the New York office over the past 12 months," said Joe Daley, president of GSW Worldwide US operations. "We are thrilled that due to several new and expanded partnerships we can realign our creative and digital leadership to focus on our growing base of clients on the east coast and globally." Rooke, who previously was located in the agency's Columbus, Ohio, headquarters, will bring his award-winning creative focus and talent to the New York office, while maintaining his creative leadership over GSW Worldwide's US and global offices. "We believe “creativity,” beyond traditional “creative,” is the key element to filling the challenging needs that clients are facing in this competitive environment,” said Fischer. "With Bruce's vision, passion and intensity leading the way with smarter and more liberating ideas, we will quickly take GSW NY to the next level."

Rooke’s move will also connect him more closely to the agency's growing global network.

"As we continue to grow our global presence through core established partnerships and emerging markets, having Bruce operating out of the NY office will give us increased connectivity to our global network and one consistent creative voice and standard worldwide," said Phil Deschamps, president and CEO of GSW Worldwide.
