After walking away from MRM Worldwide in 2011, he turned his attention to a different kind of problem. Frank found that users were feeling increasingly alienated online, and they needed somebody to talk to. Why not, he figured, offer a digital service that connected patients with a therapist on demand? He had already used his advertising skills to make money, but now he wanted to make a difference.

Oren Frank started his advertising career in 2001, and his former positions include:

• Regional Creative Director, EMEA.
• CEO, Worldgroup Israel: As the Chief Executive Officer of McCann’s Israeli operations, Oren Frank oversaw some of the company’s most ambitious projects. He was involved in McCann’s decision to invest in an Israeli startup incubator, and he guided the company through the early stages of a digital transformation.
• Chairman, McCann Digital: McCann Digital is the digital advertising arm of McCann Worldgroup, an international network of marketing and advertising agencies. They work with some of the most recognizable names in business, including Mastercard, IKEA, Verizon, Microsoft, L’OREAL, Nestle, and Coca-Cola.
