Unsworth Sugden Blog

Four weeks ago I got a phone call from PR Director, Hannah Elwell, to say that I had been selected as the new PR Assistant at Unsworth Sugden. Naturally I was thrilled to hear that my PR career would begin at the established Leicester agency after completing my MA degree in Public Relations at De Montfort University. I can’t quite believe how quickly time has passed. As PR Assistant, no two days are ever the same, with tasks varying from sourcing bouncy castles and face painters for company events to liaising with trade and consumer magazines. My position within the department means that I am involved with practically every client. This gives me an all round view of the client base and target media, an advantage that makes my job role feel very valued. I gain great satisfaction out of supporting Hannah and the Account Executives in their client preparations.

The PR department along with the rest of the staff have been extremely welcoming and I already feel very much part of the Unsworth Sugden team.

The PR department is celebrating this week as one of its recruits picked up a 1st class degree from De Montfort University as well as two student prizes!

All our congratulations go to Marina Boor who on top of graduating, has earned herself the title of Best International Marketing and Business Student and picked up first prize in the Employeer Award for Performance in the Workplace during her year with the company in 2007/08.

Well done Marina!
