Independent PR agency, Agent99 has announced changes to its team as it continues its growth trajectory: promoting Amelia Watson (main photo) to Senior Account Manager and hiring Hollie Wright (pictured below) to a newly created Account Manager role.
Watson joined the team in a graduate position five years ago and has grown her skills immensely earning multiple promotions along the way. Watson has now taken on additional management duties and has fine-tuned her client experience working across the agency’s expertise being B2C PR (food, beverage, and lifestyle), and B2B PR (building thought leaders and experts), with brands including Click Frenzy, the GAP Drinks portfolio, Online Retailer Conference and ORIAS Awards.
Wright has been welcomed on board having amassed over seven years of experience as a PR professional, specialising in media relations, social media, and event management both in the UK and Australia. She joins Agent99 following two years at Cassette, where she worked across a range of international lifestyle brands including Garnier, La Roche-Posay and CeraVe.
These changes come off the back of additional recent hires including Eva Harrington to the role of Senior Account Executive from her previous agency Honner, and Kathleen Quere to the position of Account Executive, from The 6AM Agency.
Sharon Zeev Poole, founder and director of Agent99, said: “Amelia has made a significant contribution to Agent99 over the last number of years. She consistently delivers on our brand promise of business impact for our clients and is the embodiment of our core values daily.
“We are also thrilled to welcome Hollie to our growing team as she truly brings a wealth of international experience. We’re excited to watch her expand her talents into new areas within the food, beverage, entertainment and thought leadership spaces.”
Wright said, “I’m really excited to join the Agent99 team. Winning National Boutique PR Agency of the Year at the PRIA Awards twice in 2019 and 2021, the cultural fit, and the feeling of support the team demonstrated from the outset cemented my view that I would be joining a very talented group of PR practitioners, and that this was definitely the right next step in my career.”
Of her promotion Watson said, “I’m delighted to be promoted to Senior Account Manager. Agent99 has been pivotal in establishing my career, and I’m excited to step up and take on more leadership and mentoring responsibilities this year. It’s an exciting time of growth for the agency and I love being a part of it.”
Zeev Poole concluded, “We’re actively expanding our team to keep up with our rapidly growing roster of clients. We have a strong pipeline of new business, and we need to ensure that our team is well-resourced at both senior and junior levels to take on new projects and go above and beyond for our clients to deliver the results-based solutions and true business impact that we’ve become known for. I’m excited for what’s to come!”
