Q&A 

Why did you sign up to be a judge for The Pros Awards 2024?

I’ve joined the judging panel because I know that I will get inspired by the diverse talent and ideas from the award submissions. It is also an honour to contribute, in a small way, to celebrate excellence and the very best of our industry who may not always get the recognition due to systemic barriers.

What Insta/Twitter(X)/Tik Tok account should every comms pro follow and why?
I tend to use Insta for escapism, travel or education, but I have come across Alexis Nikole @blackforager. She’s a foraging teacher in the US and I love her posts about what you can pick and eat in the wild.
What was your favourite PR/comms story from 2023 and why?
Barbenheimer – two very different films, targeting two very different audiences and interests, yet the comms and film launch drove audiences to see both.
