Savanta Hires and Expands in NYC

Next15's data and insights group Savanta has hired five new US employees while announcing a move to a larger office in New York City.

Savanta was formed in February, when MIG Global combined its research agencies Morar HPI, VIGA, Charterhouse and Circle into one new brand. From five offices, the 200-strong team offers clients a wide range of intelligence services including bespoke research, data collection and analysis, and products such as the BrandVue and MarketVue reputation tracking tools.

In April, the firm set up an Americas team, led by MIG Global's former Chief Strategy Officer Vin DeRobertis. Stephanie Johnson (pictured) has joined the NYC office as a Director on the commercial team. She has almost a decade of experience, most recently from publishing platform Zinio and before that from Forrester, where she was an Associate Account Manager.

In addition, former Nielsen Catalina Senior Analyst Carrie Condino takes up the post of Senior Consultant; former Carat USA Data Analyst Daniel Garcia has been hired as a Senior Consultant; Kiera Berman joins as a Consultant, after serving as Marketing Research Assistant at the University of Richmond; and Christopher Eckhoff joins from retailer Target as an Account Manager.

Commenting on the news, DeRobertis said: 'With such a successful rollout in the Americas, it was a well-deserved move into our larger Americas headquarters in New York City. Our expanding team allows us to grow rapidly with our clients'.
