On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Eden Public Relations has promoted Erin Softley to account manager.
Softley, who will celebrate her first anniversary at the company in March, takes on the responsibility for driving the company’s mental health and first aid policies, as well as building the team’s awards portfolio.
Softley said: “The past year has been an exciting one for Eden, with lots of new business onboarding and several internal promotions. We are certainly a team with lots to offer for our clients, the PR industry in the Midlands and the Nottingham business community.
“In my new role, I hope to devise further training on creative content, continue to strengthen and enhance our mental health in the workplace approach and, hopefully, help us enter more regional business, PR and trade awards for some of the fantastic campaigns we deliver on a daily basis.”
Director and head of new business, Emily Winsor-Russell, said: “Erin was a unique hire for us, with a diverse set of skills stemming from her experience working in a technical PR agency and her science background. She also has ambitions for the agency to see us enter and win more awards for our clients’ campaigns, many of which continue to have a noticeable impact on the wider community.
“In an industry where our job is to help our clients share their stories, we believe Erin’s contributions will continue to drive the creative campaigns for which Eden is well-known.”
