CMG Launches Healthcare Research Firm

Full service MR group CMG (Cross Marketing Group), parent of Kadence International, has set up a global healthcare research company called Medilead, based at the Group's Tokyo headquarters.

CMG, which acquired UK-based Kadence last November, comprises over 30 companies spread across a dozen countries including eight in Asia. The majority of its more than 1,000 staff are based outside Japan.

Medilead has been launched to help clients gain access to hard-to-reach patients, as well as healthcare providers. The business will be led by Susumu Kamei (pictured), who will continue in his role as a Director of CMG.

Commenting on the launch, Kamei said: 'Through the establishment of Medilead, we have been able to bring together healthcare experts from across our various CMG group companies. By concentrating our expertise into a single entity, and through CMG's growing global network, we are now better-equipped than ever to deliver to our clients the focused attention and insights that they require'.
