Work history
    Recruitment Advisor
    My job is but a humble and merry dance through the halls of Advertising, Digital and Creative; constantly on the look out for the best talent in our industry. It's true - they pay me to talk, primarily about PSONA (which I've happily done so below), but I like to think I spend much more time listening to others. I'm fortunate and grateful to be constantly learning from our experts, as well as the new candidates I speak to, and that's what gets me up in the morning. (Well, that and my neighbours are renovating next door and they literally have no concept of time.) PSONA is an exciting, new customer engagement agency, launched in November 2014 as part of Communisis Plc Group. With a strong platform of over 100 employees based out of Little Portland Street in Central London, we offer a broad range of integrated disciplines that encompass social, brand response, digital, brand activation, B2B, relationship marketing, data and film. So, who are we looking for? Well, if you want to join an established agency where your job will be defined to the letter by a myriad of previous incumbents; where you'll be assigned a number and strict instructions on "what we do and what we don't", then we're not the right place for you. Of course, if you're looking for a start-up, and all of the challenges that brings; an agency with MASSIVE ambitions, coupled with a first class client portfolio and truly expert teams; all with the job security that can only come with the financial backing of a large plc., then we should be talking... right now... (well, I'll be listening - but get in touch!).
