PublicistPress Box PR
London, United KingdomFull Time
I’ve built up experience in landing coverage to generate follow links across national press titles such as The Sun, the Daily Mail, Hello! and OK! Magazine - as well as brainstorming campaign ideas for various differing clients to reach demanding monthly targets. I am proficient in producing showbiz, Royal and lifestyle press releases based on research, surveys and interviews with talent as well as experts in a variety of fields.
During my time at Press Box, I have also been assigned as The Apprentice’s 2022 winner Harpreet Kaur’s publicist, where I have secured interviews and red carpet appearances to maximise their exposure in the press, as well as assisted them during their day-to-day schedules. One stand-out moment has been securing front-page coverage in the Daily Mirror newspaper ahead of Harpreet and Akshay’s wedding in June. Another part of my role as a publicist has been to lead and organise press events with journalists as well as our leading clients, talent and experts to strengthen and solidify both existing and new relationships.
Celebrity and entertainment writerReach Plc
- London, United KingdomFull Time
I was previously a celebrity and entertainment writer for Reach Plc's magazine hub, which includes OK! Magazine, OK! Online, new! Magazine, Notebook and S Magazine, as well as our Daily Mirror and Express supplements. I regularly pitched and produced entertainment news and TV features for search and social for OK! Online, as well as turned around breaking news stories within our pressing deadlines, which are all optimised content for SEO. I am proficient in writing across differing titles for varying audiences while reaching pressing deadlines and the demands of a fast-paced magazine production on a day-to-day basis.
I have become proficient in liaising with regular columnists, talent agents, sources, experts and PRs. Whether it be liaising with a royal expert, a celebrity or their agent, it has gone on to help build a trust - and secure further opportunities for coverage in print and or online. I work closely with editors, directors, agents, PRs, sources and potential interviewees when brainstorming ideas and themes to plan for future issues in magazines.
