Four existing staff are celebrating promotions. Ellis Noble has been promoted to Wild’s head of client services having joined the business in 2020 as account director and Frankie Lyons has expanded her role from senior digital PR manager to digital PR director.

Mollie Earnshaw was promoted from senior PR executive to junior account manager and junior PR executive Abigail Gosling, who is currently undertaking a Level 4 PR Apprenticeship, has advanced to PR executive.

The agency had an impressive start to 2022 after securing three new client wins within the first quarter, including Manchester-based office design specialist Opus 4, dermatology clinic Aventus Clinic and the award-winning Huddersfield Literature Festival.

Speaking on the recent appointments and promotions, founder and managing director, Katrina Cliffe, said: “The recent client wins have been an amazing start to the year for the agency, and we expect to continue the success for the remainder of the year.

“Not only have the recent appointments helped us to grow as a business and welcome Ella and Lydia to Wild, but we can also celebrate the hard work the team have put in over the last few months. It has allowed us to modernise the structure of the teams within the agency and optimise our way of working to get the best possible results for our clients.”
