TogoRun, the healthcare communications agency under Fleishman-Hillard, officially announced its independence from former parent Omnicom PR Group.
TogoRun president and Chandler Chicco alum Gloria “Glo” Janata acquired the New York-based specialty healthcare shop last year. It established communications and media company GMJ Global, LLC, which includes three other units: digital consumer health and beauty agency VegaRun, creative shop StudioTogo and publications and media company GMJ Global Media.
Janata now holds the title of president and CEO.
In the year since spinning off from Omnicom, TogoRun has witnessed a 225 percent growth in its client roster and a 900 percent increase in revenue.
“In the midst of chaos, the silver lining is that companies are recalibrating business models to include ESG into all business practices—not because they have to, but because they want to,” Janata told O’Dwyer’s. “Our TogoRun team feels very blessed to be working right now, in this space, when so many great things can happen with a prosper with purpose mindset.”
