You come equipped with existing media contacts and a profound grasp of what constitutes a "compelling story" in the modern earned media landscape, utilising tools like Cision or Meltwater to track your impact.
The Strategic Consultant: You possess sound judgement and consultancy acumen. You are comfortable liaising with CEOs and high-level stakeholders, providing the strategic guidance necessary to navigate the news agenda and achieve complex business KPIs in high-pressure environments.
The Purpose-Driven Expert: You are passionate about sustainability. You understand the critical importance of ESG practices on business operations and have documented experience leading high-impact campaigns that involve multiple global stakeholders and diverse cultural practices.
