Chandler Chicco Companies (CCC; www.chandlerchiccocompanies.com), a global health communications company and part of inVentiv Health, Inc., announced the creation of Chandler Chicco Digital (CCD), a new division that combines Chandler Chicco's existing digital strategy services with the technology expertise of Kazaam Interactive to deliver innovative digital solutions to clients. This follows an earlier announcement from CCC's parent company, inVentiv Health, stating that it has acquired Kazaam Interactive.

"Kazaam uniquely marries pioneering technology expertise with a deep understanding of the pharmaceutical sector," said Bob Chandler, president and CEO of Chandler Chicco Companies and senior vice president of marketing and communications for inVentiv Health. "With this acquisition, inVentiv Health will be able to provide its clients with comprehensive digital solutions, from strategy to technical execution."

"Both Kazaam and CCC have healthcare at their core," said Tom Marotta, president and CEO of Kazaam. "We share a hyper-focus on client satisfaction, a commitment to innovation, a dedication to bringing real value to clients, and a passion for transforming health. Being part of CCC, and parent organization inVentiv Health, will allow us to deploy unique, creative solutions to the market."

"Our clients know we're in the midst of a revolution in the marketing of healthcare, spurred by changing consumer expectations and fueled by technology," said Ritesh Patel, who drives digital strategy for Chandler Chicco Digital and inVentiv Health's Commercial segment. "We've delivered digital solutions to our clients for years so this acquisition builds on CCC's legacy of award-winning digital work and positions us to deliver what clients need today and tomorrow."
