inChord Communications Agencies and CEO to be Recognized at 17th Annual Med Ad News Manny Awards

inChord Communications, now inVentiv Communications, a division of inVentiv Health (Ventiv Health, Inc., Nasdaq: VTIV), and three of its advertising agencies will be honored by Med Ad News on April 20 at the 17th annual Manny Awards, an awards program that recognizes excellence among healthcare advertising agencies.

R. Blane Walter, CEO of inChord Communications and president and CEO of inVentiv Communications, will be honored as "Advertising Person of the Year." The award is presented to a senior-level industry leader who, during the past year, has made extraordinary professional achievements, elevated his or her business to new heights, and advanced the industry through outstanding and innovative actions. At age 35, Walter is the youngest person to ever receive the award.

In addition to recognizing Walter, Med Ad News has also nominated three inChord agencies -- Palio Communications, The Navicor Group and GSW Worldwide -- for 2006 Manny Awards. This year, the publication will present "Agency of the Year" awards in three categories, based on revenue size. Palio Communications is nominated for Agency of the Year in Category II ($10 - $50 million in revenue). The Navicor Group is nominated for Agency of the Year in Category III ($2 to $10 million in revenue). Nominees for the Agency of the Year Awards are judged on creative track record, management strength, financial performance, strategic thinking, account wins and losses, and ability to attract talent.

GSW Worldwide is nominated for Most Creative Agency, an honor recognizing the agency that has produced the most outstanding compilation of creative work over the past year. In addition, GSW is nominated for Best Disease Awareness Advertisement for an ad it created for TAP Pharmaceuticals in the hyperuricemia category; and for Best Pro-Bono Advertisement for an ad it created for Columbus Children's Hospital. All creative awards are determined by votes from creative directors at the agencies polled by Med Ad News.

"The Manny Awards are widely recognized to be one of the highest honors within our industry," said Walter. "It is a tremendous distinction to be named Advertising Person of the Year, but I'm even more proud of the nominations that our agencies have received. They reinforce my conviction that we are leading the industry with innovative thinking, strategic vision and creative execution."

Manny Award winners will be announced on April 20 at the awards ceremony, to be held at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers in New York City.
