Working with a team of 20 PR consultants, I played a central role in developing processes including drafting job specifications and setting up a new appraisal system. I was also heavily involved with recruiting new team members and training and developing the team.I ran successful consumer and trade accounts including Cheshire Mouldings and The Key Safe Company, Kanes Foods, Roof Maker and a slug pesticide campaign, some of which were new business wins which I was heavily involved with. I also helped to grow and develop the social media team so it was more integrated with the PR team and helped to drive project work and new business wins, due to a more strategic offering and targeted social advertising campaigns.I also oversaw HROC’s marketing team for the agency, including sharing agency news with the media and across HROC’s social media channels, to raise the profile of the agency within the midlands and nationwide.
