Howorth adds new talent for 2010

We’ve kicked off 2010 with some great new talent joining Howorth.

Fresh off the boat from some of the top tech PR firms in London, we have two Account Managers – Ellie Shaddick and Georgina Bonner. Both have decided to leave the cold and damp London lifestyle to set up home in Sydney. We look forward to drawing on their experiences working with some big brands include BlackBerry, T-Mobile, Business Objects and Rentokil Initial.

In addition, but closer to home, we welcome senior account manager, Le Tran, who joins Howorth from a local technology PR firm. Le is looking to build on her corporate communications experience and is playing a key role in our emerging corporate and B2B practice. Having rapidly settled into Howorth, Le is currently taking a four-week sabbatical in Vietnam for some humanitarian work in an orphanage, cancer hospital and women’s shelter.

After five years working as a high school English teacher, senior consultant Lauren Sewell sought a more creative outlet and has decided PR is will satisfy her career goals. Drawing on her experience in the education sector and her excellent writing skills, Lauren is a valuable addition to the team.

Finally, we welcome Alice Ridgway to Howorth, who joins as a senior consultant with more than three years’ PR experience in technology, consumer and not for profit. Alice previously worked on brands including Fairfax Digital, 3Com, Tipping Point and Parrot, as well as consumer clients such as pet food manufacturer Hills Pet Nutrition. Most recently Alice worked for the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as a writer during the 2009 Earth Hour – Vote Earth campaign, where she gained valuable experience in executing a global PR campaign with a strong social media focus.
