Q&A 

Why did you sign up to be a judge for The Pros Awards 2024?
To help spotlight the great talent in our industry – reading through all the entries is so inspiring
What Insta/Twitter(X)/Tik Tok account should every comms pro follow and why?

‘When It Hits The Fan’ on BBC Sounds. Great insights into crisis handling.

What was your favourite PR/comms story from 2023 and why?
Superbowl Rihanna for Fenty Beauty. A simple concept, deftly executed. The singer’s quick makeup touch up during the half-time show was a great plug for her beauty brand.

As before we’ve got a great DJ booked for The Pros Awards awards ceremony in July – what’s your dancefloor-filler request?

‘1er Gaou’ by Magic System
