Stark Raving Health Continues Media Department Expansion with Hiring of Ed Kaul as Media Planner

BOSTON — March 10, 2026 — Stark Raving Health, a leader in clinical trial marketing and patient recruitment, today announced the hiring of Ed Kaul as Media Planner, marking the latest expansion of the agency's growing media department. The addition of Kaul comes in direct response to increasing client demand for forward-thinking, data-driven advertising solutions designed to reach and recruit patients for clinical trials.

As the clinical research industry continues to evolve, the need for sophisticated, targeted media strategies has never been greater. Stark Raving Health has seen significant growth in its patient recruitment practice, driven by sponsors and CROs seeking creative approaches that go beyond traditional outreach to engage and enroll eligible participants more effectively and efficiently.

Kaul brings more than a decade of experience in digital advertising and campaign strategy to his new role, most recently serving as Senior Digital Advertising Coordinator at Advance Local, where he managed multi-channel advertising campaigns across SEO, SEM, paid social, email, and display advertising. A data-driven strategist with a track record of optimizing campaigns to maximize performance and engagement, he will be responsible for developing and executing multi-channel media plans that support patient recruitment efforts across a range of therapeutic areas and trial phases.

"We're thrilled to welcome Ed to the team," said Stephen Eustace, Director of Media at Stark Raving Health. "The demand for innovative, high-performing media strategies in the clinical trial space is accelerating, and Ed's expertise will be instrumental in helping us deliver even more impactful campaigns for our clients. This hire is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to building a media department that is best-in-class — one that truly understands the unique challenges of patient recruitment and knows how to reach the right audiences at the right time."

Kaul is excited to bring his expertise to the Stark Raving Health team. "Stark Raving Health has built an incredible reputation in the clinical trial space, and I'm excited to be part of a team that is genuinely pushing the boundaries of what media can do for patient recruitment," said Kaul. "There's so much opportunity to reach patients in smarter, more meaningful ways, and I look forward to bringing fresh thinking and new approaches to help our clients meet their enrollment goals."

The expansion of Stark Raving Health's media department underscores the agency's broader mission to bring cutting-edge advertising solutions to the clinical research industry, where recruitment remains one of the most persistent and costly challenges facing trial sponsors today. The department offers a comprehensive suite of media capabilities spanning programmatic advertising, paid social, search, streaming audio and video, digital out-of-home, and traditional media channels — all strategically deployed to reach and engage highly specific patient populations at scale.
