SAM CORRY JOINS HILL & KNOWLTON’S EXPANDING SPECIALIST RETAIL & LEISURE TEAM

Sam Corry is the latest addition to Hill & Knowlton’s (H&K) Retail & Leisure team. He has been appointed as a Senior Account Executive.

Winner of the 2009 PR Week’s ‘Top 29 Under 29 PR Stars of the Future’, Sam will be working alongside Interim Head of Retail & Leisure and agency CEO Richard Millar, Associate Director, Sally Domingo Jones, and Lead Counsel Sustainability, Flic Howard-Allen, on a portfolio of clients including RAC and IHG.

Joining H&K from the Confederation of British Industry, Sam held the position of Campaigns Adviser from October 2008 to May 2010. His work focused on shaping and implementing their campaign on climate change, as well as developing the PR, marketing and branding strategy, and working closely with the media to organize press briefings and interviews. 

Sam’s experience, previous to CBI, at Blue Rocket will further bolster H&K’s sustainability offering that aims to match the emerging sustainability megatrend, tipped to become even more important in the coming three years.

Speaking of the announcement, Richard Millar said, “We are very glad to have Sam joining at this exciting time for our agency. He is clearly passionate about communications and is evidently a high achiever. His wealth of sustainability experience will further reinforce our ability to provide our clients with the deepest and broadest offering.”
