We make products and services tangible and understandable so that they reach the right audiences with the right messages – whether that is through traditional and online media, social channels, via industry analysts or direct to the customer.

As an account manager at one of the UK’s top-ten technology PR consultancies (and number one outside London), I was the lead client liaison on my team, responsible for day-to-day consultancy, programme delivery, target compliance and quality.Whiteoaks provides B2B PR services to many of the world’s leading B2B technology companies and niche IT specialists. Whiteoaks' specialisations include telecommunications, satellite, broadcast, SaaS, info security and enterprise mobility. And I worked for clients right across the spectrum.

I manage my accounts on a day to day basis, liaising with clients and their key journalists and writing in-house copy such as Press Releases, letters to editors and sound bite comments. Ensuring that key messages are incorporated into all outgoing materials and that all relevant feature and response opportunities are completed.

I shared support for account management, feature research and pitching, building relationships with key journalists, day-to-day communication, assisting in copy writing such as Press Releases, letters to the editor and targeted responses.

The PR agency I worked for on my placement year at University. Although the placement was 40 weeks minimum, I was lucky enough to stay there as long as I possibly could in-between the 2nd and 4th years of my course
