CommonHealth Launches Global Talent Share Program.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. -- CommonHealth (www.commonhealth.com), a WPP (NASDAQ/ADR: WPPGY; www.wpp.com) company and the world's leading healthcare-communications network, announced today that one of their own from Parsippany is heading overseas to join CommonHealth London as part of an unprecedented talent share program.

CommonHealth London is one of CommonHealth's two European full-service professional and consumer advertising and promotion agencies designed to allow the organization to further its offerings to an increasingly global clientele.

The Global Talent Share Program is an initiative developed within the CommonHealth network to cultivate the ongoing collaborative drive across the organization. The opportunity to apply was offered to all copywriters within the CommonHealth network.

As the first participant in the CommonHealth Global Talent Share Program, Anne Brown, a senior copywriter at Altum, will be spending more than three months on a copywriting stint in the new London office. Altum is a CommonHealth freestanding, full-service professional advertising and promotion company with global reach, spanning every marketing discipline with a focus on high-science and specialty markets. Ms. Brown was chosen from a rich talent pool, and her expertise and experience in specialty market promotion made her the ideal candidate.

Noted David Chapman, managing partner responsible for overseeing all CommonHealth's professional advertising agencies, "We see Global Talent Share, and the opportunity to be posted to an assignment in our overseas offices, as both an innovative recruitment tool for future employees, and as an amazing incentive for our current staff. We hope, with the success of Anne's assignment, to expand upon the program. Ideally we'll be able to offer this opportunity not only to our creative teams but to account executives in the future. In fact, we expect to have our European counterparts come over and work reciprocal projects with us here at our headquarters in Parsippany."

Julian Greene, the general manager of CommonHealth London, added, "We are delighted to welcome Anne to the London office, and we believe this type of cross fertilization will be of real benefit both to the individual and the organization."

CommonHealth London is located at 141 Westbourne Terrace, W26JR, London. Mr. Greene can be contacted directly at [phone] or by e-mail at [e-mail].

CommonHealth comprises CommonHealth London, Altum, Adient, Carbon, CommonHealth Consumer Group, CommonHealth Paris, Conectics, Ferguson, HLS, MBS/Vox, Noesis, ProCom, Qi and Solara. The organization also maintains numerous partnerships both within and outside of the WPP network of companies.
