Research Partnership Hires and Promotes

UK-based healthcare MR agency Research Partnership has announced three appointments: Anne Cunningham joins as a Director in the European division, and Morten Andersen as an AD; while Sue Rees moves across into the specialist Emerging Markets Division.

Cunningham (pictured) will work in the global HQ in London, and brings more than 25 years' experience in the pharmaceutical industry, both agency side and at client firms including AstraZeneca. Most recently she was Customer Insights Partner at AbbVie, leading an integrated programme of analytics, market research and insight generation to support the firm's rheumatology brands; and before this she was a Research Director at Cello Health Insight.

Anderson joins in the specialist quantitative team, from Kantar Health where he spent the last nine years on projects including large-scale quant and brand tracking projects for international clients.

Research Partnership Founding Director Mark Jeffery says both the new arrivals bring 'a wealth of knowledge and expertise'. He comments: 'we look forward to them contributing to the company's ongoing growth and development as we celebrate our 20th anniversary. Having worked with Anne previously as a client of our syndicated market-tracking tool Therapy Watch, it's great to now be able to welcome her to our ad hoc team'.

Rees joined the firm in 2013 in the European division, and now has more than 25 years' experience in MR, agency and client-side. Marc Yates, Director of Emerging Markets says the appointment will enable his unit to sustain its growth: 'Sue's knowledge and prior experience of working in the Asia market will be a strong asset to the team'.
