PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2015) - Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide (www.ogilvychww.com), the health behavior change specialists of Ogilvy & Mather (www.ogilvy.com), and a WPP company (NASDAQ: WPPGY) (www.wpp.com), today announced Scott Watson and Peter Rooney have once again been asked to each lead a session at the Young Executives Night Out, an educational event held by the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame (MAHF), on October 22 at Convene convention center in New York City.

MAHF was founded in 1996 to honor men and women who have made significant contributions to the medical advertising profession. It also serves to document the history of the industry and attract next-generation talent. Now in its fourth year, the Young Executives Night Out event invites professionals, who have been in the healthcare communications business for an average of two to four years, to attend educational sessions that are small, with about 30 people per room, allowing for intimate, college-like exchanges.

For the second year in a row, Mr. Rooney, EVP, director of client services at Ogilvy CommonHealth Medical Marketing, will lead a session titled "Client Problem Solving." In the assembly, Mr. Rooney will address working with clients, particularly highlighting how to handle client relationships that are especially challenging. Common issues to be highlighted include challenges like "impossible" project requests and how to deal with client requests that fall outside the scope of a job. Mr. Rooney will field questions and problems from the audience and teach participants ways in which they might tackle these everyday challenges.

Mr. Watson, EVP, chief creative officer of Ogilvy CommonHealth, will make his fourth appearance on the MAHF program schedule. Mr. Watson, along with Robin Shapiro, president and chief creative officer of CAHG, will present "Award-Winning Creativity," a program that will deconstruct some of the top creative work in the industry, highlighting for attendees the elements that comprise standout creativity. The session will dissect each aspect of what comprises a great advertisement.

The event will also include seminars on running effective meetings, agency leaders comparing and contrasting a "normal day," selling the work, and content marketing.
