In an ironic twist of fate, the past few weeks have seen Sunday tabloid the News of the World hitting the headlines itself rather than publishing them.

The supposed ‘phone-hacking scandal’ and subsequent apology from News International has raised questions about the means used by journalists to produce the sensational headlines that the British press is renowned for.

No doubt the coming weeks will hold more revelations as further details are announced and journalistic practices are pushed even further into the spotlight.

Obviously, phone-hacking and scandal are far removed from the world of a Nottingham PR agency, but it does go to prove one thing – no organisation is exempt from needing the services of a good PR agency from time-to-time!

Nottingham public relations agency Tank PR has announced the appointment of a new account executive.

A print journalism graduate, Glen Davies joins the Nottingham PR agency team, having previously been the editor-in-chief of Platform, the NTU student magazine and website.

In his journalism training, Glen has experience of working with MTV, BBC Radio 1 and UKTV, along with regional newspapers in Yorkshire.

As an account executive, Glen will be supporting Tank PR’s account teams on the day-to-day delivery of PR and social media campaigns. He will also manage the research aspects of the business.

Trevor Palmer, director and founder of Tank PR, said: “As a trained journalist, Glen will be a great asset to the business. I have always believed that journalists are an essential component to PR agencies as they bring that extra level of understanding of the media.”

Glen’s appointment follows a succession of account wins at Tank PR including restaurant chain Simply Eat and packaging design agency We Are Pure.
