BOTTLE PR has had a vintage year in terms of recruitment. We have two new bottles in our rack!

Rachel Brewin is like a good Beaujolais nouveau – young but bold. She entered our world back in the summer and instantly picked up the reins on some key accounts, securing fantastic results. For example, in September she led on the launch of Wabbadabba, a new internet search engine. The site’s USP is that you can win prizes, simply by running regular searches. Launch coverage online and on radio gave the website and instant life, with 5,000 unique users signing up within hours.

Rachel began her PR career at Brands 2 Life, before heading north to Newcastle, to Admiral PR. Specialising in tech at both agencies, she has now branched out to work across a range of accounts, including law firm Morgan Cole, Activity Superstore, Sea Axis, General Imaging and Modus.

Emma Forbes joined in November, sparkling like the best Veuve Cliquot. Within hours she had forgotten life in Brighton and got stuck in to a range of consumer accounts, including making an impact on national media relations for Poundland. Straight away we could understand why her old boss at Midnight Communications was nearly in tears when we called up for a reference.

Emma has strong experience in events, having led the teams that worked on Grand Designs Live London and NEC, The Magic of Christmas and The International Caravan & Motorhome 2007.
