“I’m delighted to be joining PHA at such a pivotal moment for both the agency and its clients. With trust, transparency and scrutiny firmly in focus, the need for clear, strategically grounded communications has never been greater. I’m looking forward to working with an exceptional team to deliver high-impact counsel that drives meaningful growth,” said Lamb.
“Corporate communications and strategic advisory services are in high demand,” added George Coleman, CEO of The PHA Group. “C-suite executives are grappling with the ongoing fall out from geopolitical instability, conflict and economic turmoil, on top of everything else. Clarity of communications and message in this operating environment has never been more crucial. So it’s great to add someone of Alice’s calibre to our consultancy team who help clients navigate exactly this.”
With offices in Leeds and Manchester as well as London, and international branches in Boston (Massachusetts) and New York, PHA is a leading independent UK PR agency creating campaigns across earned, social, digital and paid media for a varied portfolio of consumer, corporate, technology, b2b and health clients.
Lamb reports into Neil McLeod, EVP, who leads PHA’s Corporate & Enterprise practice.
