“We are extremely honored by the award and the accompanying article from The Holmes Report,” said Chandler Chicco co-founder Bob Chandler. “We are particularly grateful to our clients and employees for helping us to achieve such success over the past decade.”
 
Since 2000, Chandler Chicco has quadrupled in size, expanded into European markets, developed design, research and advertising capabilities, and became part of healthcare services holding company inVentiv Health in 2007.
