MINNEAPOLIS, USA, Nov. 28, 2022—Tenured agency executive Ann Baxter has joined the business development team at marketing firm StoneArch, part of global healthcare commercialization partner Fishawack Health, with plans to accelerate the company’s partnerships with healthcare, medical device and wellness clients.
The agency has extensive expertise in the healthcare space, partnering with clients including 3M, Carelon, Fujifilm Life Sciences, Medtronic, Teladoc, UnitedHealth Group and Upsher-Smith.
Baxter will take on her new role as director of business development in Minneapolis.

“We’re at a significant time in our industry,” noted Jennifer Bastian, general manager. “Healthcare brands require agency partners who understand the complex issues facing our audiences. Our award-winning team are experts in helping bridge the gap between consumer, provider and client communication. While we are already experiencing significant growth, Ann will help us accelerate our goals.”
“I’m excited to join StoneArch and Fishawack Health at a time when the healthcare industry continues to rapidly evolve and bring forward innovative products and solutions to empower and enhance people’s lives,” Baxter said in a statement. “Globally, the company offers a dynamic and complete set of services for healthcare clients. I see tremendous potential in what this agency can do and bring to the table.”
Ann began her career at Minneapolis-based legacy agency, Campbell Mithun (CM), where she spent 27 years cultivating her business development craft. Her track record of success at CM included significant healthcare-related client acquisitions such as Breathe Right, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Mayo Clinic and Wellmark.
