Philadelphia, July 20, 2020 – As part of its continuing growth strategy, BW Health Group,  a family of interconnected companies dedicated to supporting and building partnerships with the life sciences industry, today announced the appointment of Will Reese as president of Benchworks, a full-service healthcare marketing agency that assists brands throughout the commercialization process.

“Will’s breadth of experience and innovative approach will add greatly to our growth,” said Tom McDonnell, President of BW Health Group. “Our philosophy is based on bringing together the best people in the industry to help our life science partners achieve their goals. The addition of Will to the Benchworks team is a big step forward in the building of a world-class agency.”

“I’m excited by the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation of client service and integrated thinking at Benchworks,” Reese said. “There is no shortage of great ideas here and the value and focus we will provide is making these ideas tangible, accessible, and measurable.”
