The PR team at the Ideal Marketing Company: Helen Campbell, Ben Cherry and Louise Smith

A marketing company in Leicestershire has recruited a new team member to expand its PR and content writing team following the promotion of the head of PR.

Louise Smith has joined the team at The Ideal Marketing Company in Market Harborough. She brings over 20 years’ experience in the PR and copywriting industry, including time working in the media in London.

This is first appointment made by Helen Campbell, who has led PR activity at the company since 2004.

Smith began her writing career in London working in PR in the health and beauty sector before moving into women’s consumer magazine journalism, then freelance copywriting.

She said: “After a few years working in the freelance world, I’m excited to be part of a team again. I wanted to join an organisation with a great reputation in the local area so I was delighted when I got the job at Ideal Marketing. I’m really enjoying the company’s exciting roster of clients who come from diverse sectors across the Midlands.”
