Laura Edwards

Creative and digital agency Harrison Carloss has made a further investment in its team with a new hire for its client services department.

Laura Edwards will join the company as a senior account manager, following the additions of Josh Locke (marketing manager), Selina Talbot (account manager) and Rebecca Chadwick (creative designer) in the summer of 2024.

Edwards graduated with a first-class degree in advertising and brand management from the University of Staffordshire in 2019, but before donning her graduation cap, her career in marketing had taken off at the digital marketing agency, Plinkfizz, for more than 6 years.

Already a member of the Associate Chartered Institute of Marketing (ACIM), and most recently working as a senior marketing account manager at Embrace Marketing, Edwards is accomplished in client services and is a social media specialist with a strong commercial mindset. She has a proven track record in strategic marketing planning, content creation, digital marketing and social media management for both B2B and B2C clients.

Rebecca Cox, client services director at Harrison Carloss said: “I’m thrilled to see our team continue to grow, and I’m confident that our clients will benefit enormously from Laura’s expertise and passion. This addition will allow us to operate more efficiently and focus on our strategy-led approach to provide better value for clients.”
