Hill and Knowlton Strategies adds three members to London tech team

Hill and Knowlton Strategies has announced the addition of three new members to its technology team in London.

Fiona Hughes has joined the agency in the new role of integrated comms director, overseeing key client work after a recent business drive. She previously ran the global team for HTC at Fever, while prior to that she led the consumer arm of Firefly Communications, reports PRWeek.

Nick Fishleigh, meanwhile, has been named as an associate director. He returns to Hill and Knowlton after a two-year stint at MSLGroup, where he worked with brands such as Alcatel, the Tizen Association and PFU Fujitsu.

Finally, Sarah Martinez has also been hired as an associate director in a strategic role, developing integrated comms platforms for key clients. She previously held the same position at The Red Consultancy.

Charlie Morgan, managing director of Hill and Knowlton's technology team, said: "They join our 30-plus-strong team at a time of rapid growth and we're very much looking forward to their contribution to lead a range of integrated communication programmes across our clients."

This comes after the firm recently named EMEA Agency of the Year at the SABRE Awards in Berlin, beating competition from fellow finalists Burson-Marsteller, Edelman, Ogilvy PR and Weber Shandwick.
