“It’s a very transformational time for pharmaceutical companies, with their changing organizational structure and marketing approach,” said Mallory. “Digital and mobile are playing a much larger role and we are having to respond to those needs. I think our smaller footprint allows us to be very agile and I want to maintain that and adapt clients’ needs.”
“More and more, our Philadelphia office is becoming a hub of innovation and this takes our East Coast presence to the next level,” Giant CEO Steven Gold said in a news release.
