As UK Managing Director of DeVries (IPG), she developed culture-leading campaigns for Beats By Dre, Benefit Cosmetics, Diageo, IHG Luxury Hotels, and PepsiCo, with a focus on earned media and influence. At John Lewis, she led the lifestyle communications team, using purpose-driven content to reposition a retail icon.
