When did you start working at Whiteoaks?
I started in October 2019
Tell us a bit more about your career progression within Whiteoaks.
I began as a Campaign Executive when I initially joined Whiteoaks, which included responsibilities such as social media monitoring and posting, campaign reporting and content proofing. After almost a year in the role, an opportunity came up to join the content team. I applied for it and was successful! Since September 2020 I’ve written content for a range of our clients across sectors such as retail, broadcast and emerging technologies as a Specialist Content Writer.
How did you get into PR?
Although my work background is primarily in marketing and project coordination after previously completing a marketing-focused business management degree, I’ve always been interested in the media and was impressed by Whiteoaks when applying to work here.
What’s been the highlight of your Whiteoaks career so far?
Probably making the successful switch to Specialist Content Writer. It was a big shift in my day-to-day responsibilities but I’m delighted that I’ve received good feedback internally and from clients on the quality of my written pieces.
What makes you smile at the end of the day?
Knowing that the words I put to paper are being published and read by professionals in a range of sectors.
When I’m not PRing I like to…
As a husband and dad, I like to spend time outside of work with my family. My hobbies include football and music. I go to Fulham F.C. matches as often as I can and I have an ever-growing vinyl collection taking up space at home!

When did you start working at Whiteoaks?
In June 2021
Tell us a bit more about your career progression within Whiteoaks
I joined Whiteoaks as a Content Writer to create a wide variety of PR and marketing copy for our B2B tech clients. After three months, an opportunity came my way to take on a newly-formed role within our agency and become a Digital Content Creator. In February 2024, I became a Digital Content Manager, responsible for leading digital and social programmes for our clients.
How did you get into PR?
From a young age I knew I wanted to go to university in an English-speaking country. I just didn’t quite know what to study. What I did know was that I wanted to talk and write a lot in my future career. How very specific, right? When it came to applying for undergraduate degrees, I was drawn towards the creative field of advertising. However, I promised myself I wouldn’t study the same degree as my sister did… Couple of clicks away and there I was reading about PR. “Yup, that’s the one,” I thought.
So, I packed my suitcase, moved to England and started my PR degree at Bucks New University. After a couple of years, I transferred to Bournemouth University where I completed two internships at B2B tech PR agencies and eventually graduated with a first-class degree. I then worked as a Content Marketing Executive for a customer feedback software provider, whilst copywriting in a freelance capacity. And here I am now, still PR-ing and loving every minute of it!
What’s been the highlight of your Whiteoaks career so far?
There’s been a few, but I’d have to start with the change to my role itself as it really allows me to thrive and develop in areas I am most passionate about. Secondly, when one of our clients was nominated for an award, which I wrote. And most recently, I’ve discovered that I am a good speech writer too, having received great feedback from our client and a request to write more. The combination of learning new things and being recognised for hard work is definitely a cherry on top.
What makes you smile at the end of the day?
Great feedback from a client and a piece of cake.
When I’m not PRing I like to…
Make a mess in my kitchen trying to develop new free-from recipes. Or borrow my friend’s dog and go for long walkies. Both bring me equal joy.
