Seasoned practitioner to lead health and wellness consulting team

TORONTO, July 2, 2008 – Argyle Communications today announced the addition of Rob McEwan as a vice president and leader of its health and wellness public relations team. The award-winning communications practitioner has a deep understanding of health and lifestyle media and brings Argyle many years of agency experience in pharmaceuticals and consumer health.

“One of Argyle’s strengths is that everyone on our team is first and foremost a great consultant — and that’s why we are thrilled to add a seasoned practitioner with both a strong strategic sense and a real personal touch,” said Daniel Tisch, President of Argyle Communications. “We’re excited about the knowledge, creativity and ideas that Rob will offer Argyle’s current and future health clients.”

McEwan has worked on a wide-range of accounts including Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Bullfrog Power, Cialis, COLD-fX, Gravol, Guinness, Ontario Community Support Association, Prude Pharma, RUB A535, Shire BioChem Inc. and Trojan Condoms.
