Meet the next face in our series, Faces of Four! 💙
Say hello to Katie – one of our FAB Account Managers. An out-of-the-box thinker with a passion for a good story, Katie is quick to get to the heart of the media agenda and always knows what’s trending. Smart, switched-on, and full of that infectious Glaswegian energy, Katie’s as passionate about PR as she is about Taylor Swift – and that’s saying something…

➜ How did you get into PR?
I got into PR in a bit of a roundabout manner…I had worked in various Sales and Marketing roles for around 10 years and after I had my youngest, Harrison, I took a step back from my corporate career and focused on my family while working part time. As a way to make new mum friends I turned to social media and became a bit of an accidental influencer/blogger. Turns out I loved all the elements of blogging from writing, website building, events, socials and photography.
So, when the opportunity came up for me to return to education during lockdown, I jumped at the chance to do the Advertising & PR HND course at COGC. Soon after, I had a chat with the founder of a PR agency that I had worked with as an influencer, about working part time with through my degree with the intention of going full time after graduation. Three years on, a lot of work and learning, a couple of promotions and I am now an Account Manager for that agency…FOUR 😊
➜ What do you love most about working in PR?
The buzz and creativity. I love the pace, the people, the power of a well-crafted story. There’s something so rewarding about working with clients who are passionate about what they do — and helping them shout about it in a way that makes people sit up and listen.
➜ What are your favourite things to do outside of work?
When I’m not in PR mode, I’m all about making memories with my two amazing boys and my partner — they’re my real-life dream team. I’m an avid reader, although my Goodreads list can be as spicy as my margs. I love good food, better drinks (bonus points if there’s tequila involved), and soundtracking life with a LOT of Taylor Swift.
