Integrated communications firm Grayling has announced a new leadership structure within its Northern offering.
Katie Eborall has been appointed as Head of North to bring together an integrated Public Relations, Public Affairs and Creative offer.
Previously head of Grayling’s Leeds office, Eborall is a Director and has been responsible for four successive years of growth in Leeds.
She will now develop the agency’s offer across the Leeds and Manchester offices, which includes a new Creative hub and specialist Reputation Management team.
As part of these plans, Andy Garner joins the team in Manchester to drive Grayling’s first dedicated IGNITE hub, Grayling’s central global strategic and creative team, outside of London.
As Creative Director, he will work closely with Eborall to develop the agency’s northern offer after a decade spent within the Engine group, most recently at MHP and Mischief.
Eborall said: “Bringing together these areas of expertise more formally will enable us to continue to respond to demand across sectors including Infrastructure, Property, Retail and Energy from clients who are increasingly seeing a benefit from a multidisciplinary approach.”
Garner said: “Grayling’s Northern offer is unique – from a cross Public Relations and Public Affairs offer that is truly integrated, to an unmatched UK and Global network, it’s an exciting new challenge to work with local, national and international clients building out our creative offer in the work we do across the region and beyond.”
