Hello! I’m Jess, BWP’s new PR & Content Executive.

After graduating earlier in the year and spending months applying for jobs; this role at BWP is the first one that actually felt perfectly right for me. I was on the hunt for a PR role, but really didn’t want to start my career in London, as much as I love the city — I didn’t have the lust (or the funds) for that daily commute. I went to this interview where I met Jo, who’s now my manager, honestly thinking I wouldn’t get it. It was the role I went to University for in the first place! I am on the consumer brands at BWP; working on Polaroid, STABILO, WeberHaus and Peter Hahn, whist also writing content for the extensive catalogue of clients we also cover.

The thing I love about BWP is that I am surrounded by all different types of creative people every day and learning about markets I didn’t know existed… All whilst being in the PR role I have always wanted to be in!

Although I graduated a few months before I started here, I have had a few internships and work experiences. Spending some time with the brand & communications team at EE allowed me to discover all different areas of commercial branding; from live events, to broadcast advertising, to photography for marketing campaigns. I also worked at agency Kazoo in London, where I gained some invaluable PR skills. I was lucky enough to work with some exciting agencies and clients whilst at these places, assisting on a great range of projects.

That’s some boring stuff about me, but apart from that all you need to know is that I am a proud Scot, I wear odd socks and I am totally & utterly scared of velvet…. I’m very excited for my career with BWP and cannot wait for 2017 & beyond. (Sorry, cheesy cliché!)
