DIGITAS HEALTH NAMED ONE OF 2013 BEST PLACES TO WORK IN PENNSYLVANIA Central Penn Business Journal polled employees who put the innovative healthcare marketing agency on top PHILADELPHIA – December 6, 2013 – Digitas Health, the leading digitally native brand agency for the new era of healthcare marketing, has been named one of Pennsylvania’s Best Places to Work by the Central Penn Business Journal, ranking no. 15 for 2013. The companies that made this year's list were honored last night at the Lancaster County Convention Center in Pennsylvania. The Central Penn Business Journal also will publish a special supplement in December profiling the top 100 companies. Companies volunteer to have their employees surveyed by Best Companies Group, a division of the Business Journal's parent company, Journal Multimedia. Once a company's employees have returned their surveys, Best Companies Group compiles the data and ranks the results among all companies surveyed. The qualities measure by the employee survey include corporate culture and communications, role satisfaction, work environment, training and development, and leadership and planning. “We are especially gratified to receive this honor, as it comes directly from our employees and exemplifies the energized, interactive and creative culture we experience every day. We are indeed very fortunate and appreciate each and every one of our friends we work with,” said Michael du Toit, President, Digitas Health. At Digitas Health’s Center City Philadelphia headquarters, staff art (including custom skate boards) hangs from the walls and employees take to the office’s performance stage in open mic nights and other entertaining, creative activities. The video game room or ping-pong tables are available to recharge and come up with award-winning, competitive ideas. As an industry and community leader, the agency has played host to PhillyCHI for 2013 World Usability Day, DesignPhiladelphia, EducationWorks and created and produced mdot, Digitas Health’s proprietary mobile health thought leadership event. Employees gave the company high marks for work/life balance, collegial atmosphere and good opportunities for career development. “The Digitas Health creative culture fosters innovation, and that collaborative spirit is what makes this such a great place to work and enables us to attract great talent,” explains Alexandra von Plato, President and Global Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Healthcare Communications Group. The Best Places to Work program is conducted through a partnership consisting of Team Pennsylvania Foundation, a nonpartisan, charitable non-profit created in 1997 to bridge the gap between government and the private sector for the betterment of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development; the Pennsylvania State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management, and Journal Multimedia.
