Benchworks Launches Clinical Research Consulting Team

In the US, marketing communications agency Benchworks has launched a Clinical Research Consulting practice, which will support the entire process from the inception phase of a clinical trial to the launch of a new drug.

Headquartered in Chestertown, MD, with additional offices in Philadelphia and Boston, Benchmark specializes in the design, production and launch of marketing communications programs and branding projects for clients in the life sciences sectors in North America and Europe. Its new practice will offer a range of services to support patient recruitment, branding and marketing, social media, education and training, and investigator engagement. It will be led by Christina Norris (pictured), who has more than twenty years' experience of planning, developing, and executing patient recruitment programs, having previously served as VP at Jeris Patient Recruitment Services, and VP of Client Solutions at Total Root Concepts.

CEO Thad Bench comments: 'We are excited to be adding this capability to our roster at Benchworks and for Christina to be leading the team. Her experience in the areas of patient recruitment and investigator engagement will be valuable to our clients who are looking to bolster their clinical operations and seamlessly transfer landscape knowledge from the clinical setting to the commercial operation, leading to a more successful launch'.
