Mission North Expands Health Practice After 33% Revenue Surge
Following a 33% year-over-year revenue increase, communications firm Mission North is restructuring its health division to address the rapid convergence of clinical science and artificial intelligence. The agency has appointed Alex Hunter as Executive Vice President of Health and Innovation to oversee this expanded mandate across the healthcare ecosystem.

To sharpen its market positioning, the agency has also recruited Cath Anderson, Chief Communications Officer at Akido, as a senior advisor. Anderson brings two decades of experience from major technology and health entities, including Anthropic, Apple, and Cityblock Health. This expansion follows a period of growth for the agency, which recently secured client mandates with Heidi Health, Sage, and Virta Health. According to co-CEO Tyler Perry, the move is designed to support companies navigating the shift where data and AI are reshaping traditional care models.
