The Liberty PR team is growing! Meet our newest account executives, Lucy Hennessy and Liv Feltus.

Lucy recently joined us after graduating earlier this year with a degree in Marketing and Public Relations. Lucy brings experience from a year in industry having worked at a PR agency and managed social media accounts on a freelance basis. She said: “It has been a great first few weeks at Liberty PR. I have enjoyed learning more about the world of PR and getting to know my clients. I am looking forward to developing my skills further.”

In her spare time Lucy enjoys reading, travelling and shopping.

With a Masters in Promotional Media and an Undergraduate degree in Media Communications, both from the University of Leeds, Liv has returned home and stepped into the world of PR. She said: “The team have been so welcoming, and I’ve really enjoyed getting settled into my new role. It’s been great applying what I’ve learnt at university to this role and I’m excited to continue building my skills and learning from everyone in the office.”

When she’s not at work, Liv enjoys attending gigs and festivals, and spending time with her dog, Fudge!

We recently welcomed third year journalism student Beth Carter-Lang to the team on a two-month placement.

Beth has been spending one day a week in the Liberty PR office as part of a scheme run by the University of Leicester.

Beth, 21, from Leicester, said: “I’ve really enjoyed spending time at Liberty PR.

“The team was lovely and welcoming on my first day and got me involved in work straight away. I have enjoyed learning the different aspects of what working for a PR company entails, as well as writing some press releases and strengthening my research skills.”

Liberty PR has a long-standing relationship with the University of Leicester and its journalism team. Offering placements in PR gives students an insight into the various career options open to them, and helps them to understand the value of journalism skills in the PR industry. That’s something we are passionate about, with many of our team having come to the industry following a career in the media.

Liberty PR account manager Charlie Hardy has made us all proud with her efforts this weekend. She took part in the Alton Towers Resort half marathon on Sunday to raise money for Endometriosis UK – and this follows on from doing the Thorpe Park 10k in September. She did both events with her boyfriend James and between them they have raised £650 for the charity. They were joined on the Alton Towers run by Charlie’s mum Sam, who donated to the Animal Cancer Trust. Charlie wanted to raise money for Endometriosis UK because it helped her so much two years ago when she was in the process of being diagnosed with endometriosis, which is a painful chronic condition. Since she is a massive fan of theme parks, doing a charity run at Alton Towers Resort and Thorpe Park made perfect sense. “If I’m running, I’ve got to do it in a place I love,” she said. It was the first time Charlie had taken part in a major running challenge. She said: “It was quite a tough course at Alton Towers, but we all crossed the line together which was lovely.” If you would like to boost Charlie and James’s fundraising total, visit their JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/team/jamesandcharlie

When people doubt your product, creating a bold campaign with humour is one way to approach this.

Over 12,000 people sent a text to this number in the first 24 hours.

Check out our latest blog as we explore the masterpiece of this campaign.

Ben said: “I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn on the job and strengthen my understanding of public relations. It was great to take part in courses run by industry leaders; their first-hand experience and words of wisdom inspire you to adopt better PR practices.
