North East PR and marketing agency Press Ahead has scored this summer, with a hat trick of new staff appointments, and the addition of a major new client.The Sunderland based company has appointed Lindsey Spears, Deborah Robinson and Naomi Robson as it continues to strengthen its team following a series of major account wins. The three most recent appointments coincide with the addition of Sunderland AFC to Press Ahead’s client list.
Senior Account Executive Lindsey will join the team at the beginning of September. After gaining a degree in Communication Studies from the University of Sunderland, Lindsey has spent the past eight years working on regional PR and marketing campaigns for clients including Business Link, Middlesbrough Council, Wynyard Park and the Learning and Skills Council (North East).
Lindsey’s appointment follows the recruitment of Deborah, who joined the team in June having returned to the region after taking a year out to travel. A Northumbria University graduate with a BA Hons degree in Communications, Deborah has gained experience working as an in-house PR executive at Berghaus, the UK's leading outdoor clothing and equipment brand.
The final recruit, Naomi, joined the team earlier this month. Naomi graduated from the University of Sunderland in 2008, after studying a three year BA Joint (Hons) degree in Marketing and Public Relations. She has a background in customer services, having worked in retail for the past two years. More recently she developed her PR and marketing skills, working for regional station, Metro Radio.
The new recruits will work on a number of client accounts, including the most recent addition to the company’s portfolio, Sunderland Football Club. Press Ahead has been awarded the contract to support the club, including the recent concerts and its bid to become a host stadium for the 2018 World Cup matches, working with the City Council to raise support and secure Sunderland’s place in the England FA’s official World Cup 2018 submission to FIFA.
Press Ahead managing director Russell Borthwick said: “I am delighted with the three new appointments we have made.
“Press Ahead is going from strength to strength, with a fast growing, prestigious client base and a fantastic team. Lindsey, Deborah and Naomi bring a wealth of skills and experience, and I am sure they will help us to build on a record 12 months, and continue to deliver the exceptional results that we are known for as we head into our sixth year.”
