Ryan Lilly, who launched Matter Communications’ Matter Health unit, has joined MikeWorldWide to head its rebranded health practice.
As senior VP & managing director of MWW Health, Lilly will oversee clients such as Rite Aid, Delta Dental, RWJBarnabas Health, Pycnogenol, IntelyCare, CSL Behring, Cerebral and OMRON.
MWW Health will focus on reputation management, impact/ESG, CEO & executive visibility, issues management, advocacy and thought leadership.
Lilly said healthcare is in the midst of a true renaissance, requiring brands to be bold and bring fresh approaches to the market, or risk being left behind.
“As client partners let go of 'because we've always done it that way methodology,' they need to collaborate with specialized practitioners who can help them embrace today's complexity and pace of change with confidence,” he said.
MWW ranked No. 15 in O’Dwyer’s healthcare rankings with 2022 fee income of $12M.


The future of DTC should foster understanding and trust, as well as improving clinical conversations.
Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter, a new book from FINN Partners chair global health and purpose Gil Bashe, says that the current healthcare system is not broken because it lacks innovation, talent or investment, but because it has lost sight of the people it exists to serve.
