Aarti joined Hope&Glory in early-2023 following a decade-long stint at Good Relations where she worked on brands including B&Q, Subway, Lidl, McVitie’s and Mini Cheddars. Her career highlights to date include issuing a memo prepping B&Q staff ahead of the release of the 50 Shades of Gray film (and subsequently sending the world’s media into a frenzy), helping biscuit lovers find the correct way to eat a McVitie’s chocolate digestive (chocolate side down in case you’re wondering) and uniting Steps and Blue to create the cheesiest wedding band ever for Mini Cheddars. At Hope&Glory, her accounts include Sainsbury’s, LinkedIn and Barclays.
Adam has been Hope&Glory’s consultant strategy director since 2019, having previously led strategy at Freuds and Weber Shandwick for 11 years. He has worked across sectors on clients ranging from UNICEF and Unilever to the Cabinet Office and PepsiCo. He’s proudest of the UNICEF Emergency Lessons work he did educating Europe’s youth on the plight of children in war and disaster zones. His passion for behavioural science led to the Sabre Award-winning “Science of Engagement” project. He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs. Adrian’s favourite piece of work at Hope&Glory was leading a two year creative campaign to promote EngineeringUK’s Big Bang UK Scientists & Engineers Fair to young teenagers and parents.. Currently his clients include O2, Accor Hotels, Barclays and UNiDAYS. He is a font of random knowledge in the office and can be often found handing out his now legendary mix of sweets and confectionary.
Aggie joined Hope&Glory in January 2019. Graduating from The University of Hull with a degree in Geography, Aggie decided to swap volcanoes and glaciers for coverage and pitches. Having spent a year with Porter Novelli’s technology team, learning the ropes with clients including Western Digital and Playstation, she was excited for a new challenge. Currently working across Sony, Aqua Sana and Norwegian Cruise Lines, she is keen to immerse herself in the fast pace of the Hope&Glory offices. In her free time, you will find Aggie searching Portobello Market for crystals to add to her collection and convincing her friends astrology is real- which it obviously is!

Alex joined Hope&Glory in 2015, bringing with him a wealth of experience in sports PR and sponsorship. Since then he’s worked across all our sport and fitness accounts, including adidas, Guinness Six Nations, Virgin Active, Red Bull and AMEX’s sponsorship of Wimbledon.
Aside from the world of sport, Alex also works across our extensive drinks portfolio including The Macallan and The Famous Grouse. Outside of work you can find him supporting his beloved Aston Villa and claiming he can smell stone fruits in every whisky he tries.
After taking a year out to pursue acting, Alice went on to study Drama at the University of Exeter and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she researched the entanglement of digital body editing and the contemporary teenage girl. After realising that the world of academia may not be for her, Alice joined Hope&Glory in July 2022 and hasn’t looked back. Since joining, she has worked on accounts such as Uber, Etsy, Lick and Edrington UK and loves the fast-paced nature of the job. When Alice isn’t at work you can find her either at the theatre, exploring the restaurants and bars of London with friends or devouring the latest bestselling novel.
Alicia joined Hope&Glory in October 2015 after graduating from Bournemouth University with a degree in public relations. Over three years, she has worked on a range of accounts at Hope&Glory, most notably IKEA, Sainsbury’s, American Express, HTC and EBS (Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam bourbon) – so it’s safe to say that her home interiors are always on trend and you’ll frequently find her sipping on old fashioneds. It is fitting then, that building the nation’s smallest pub for Meantime was one of her favourite past campaigns, closely followed by re-creating Kim Kardashian’s most iconic selfies with The G-C herself (Gemma Collins) to launch HTC’s U12+ smartphone.
Amber started her Hope&Glory journey in August 2018, having spent just under two years at London-based fashion and lifestyle agency, Emerge, where she worked across the likes of Eyeko, ellesse, and Airtasker. Previous to that, she spent time at BWP Group, where she helped bring to life IKEA’s very first ‘houseboat’ for its 4-week stint sailing along the Thames. She now works on the likes of StubHub, London Coffee Festival, and a number of spirit brands within the Edrington Beam-Suntory portfolio. After working hours, Amber can often be found jewellery making, listening to true crime podcasts, and FaceTiming her family cat.

Amelia joined Hope&Glory in 2014 after graduating from the University of Exeter and spending several months travelling South East Asia. Her work at Hope&Glory has spanned a wide range of clients and sectors, from managing multiple phone launches for HTC, to working with Barclays LifeSkills to create the world’s first Work Experience. More recently, Amelia has secured some killer pieces of coverage for the Airbnb press office and put London’s East Village on the map by promoting their cheese festival with a cheese-carved “Brie-oncé”. Amelia is known around the office for being an animal lover, and can often be found trying to convince her team mates to adopt an office puppy.
Amy has been with Hope&Glory since 2016, having joined from Premier PR. She spent her formative years injecting creativity into the world of consumer healthcare, before moving on to work for five years with some of the world’s most famous attractions. Highlights include hosting the world’s first “audio aquarium” for visually impaired children at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, kicking off Up at the O2’s first Christmas season with a choir on the icy roof, and training PR’s globally how best to promote and photograph wax figures. At Hope&Glory her accounts include Argos, Sony and Hostelworld.
After finishing an English degree from the University of Leeds in 2020 (including a placement at Sainsbury’s and an internship at Hope&Glory) Amy spent a year at creative agency The Romans, where she worked on consumer clients including Sports Direct, Stitch Fix, Nursem and Duolingo. After a stint working on New Balance, ASOS and ellesse at fashion agency Gung Ho, Amy joined Hope&Glory in in September 2022 to work on lifestyle accounts including adidas, etsy and Lick. Outside the office you can usually find her hunting down bargains in East London vintage shops, going to art shows, making paintings of her own or buying plants on Columbia Road.
Angelique officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2023 as part of our Front of House team. Along with ensuring the day-to-day running of reception goes as smoothly as possible, she gleefully acts as our resident food-shopper. As a self-confessed foodie with a penchant for pastries, she tasks herself with keeping abreast with the latest food trends and can often be found scouring the virtual (and real-life) shopping aisles for the latest and greatest edible delights. Fascinated with the world of creative arts and interior design, she also enjoys visiting art exhibitions, photography and (of course) dabbles in a bit of baking in her spare time.

While studying for a degree in Psychology, Anna interned at a number of London PR agencies, where her first experience of the industry was accompanying a 6ft Loony Tunes character through central London! Since joining Hope & Glory as an intern in March, Anna has been getting stuck into accounts including Uber Eats, The Royal Mint, Buzz Bingo, Amaro Montenegro and Remember a Charity. When not in the office, you can find Anna in a yoga class, perfecting the art of a headstand.
Anna is Joint-Managing Director at Hope&Glory. A consumer, entertainment and lifestyle PR professional with almost 20 years’ experience, she has worked with world-renowned brands including Nintendo, Nokia, Kenco and Flora. She has been at Hope&Glory since 2016, heading up the agency’s work for Sainsbury’s, The Royal Mint, Etsy and American Airlines. Her favourite piece of work was the multi-awarding winning launch of Sky Arts on Freeview, which saw globally-recognised artist Spencer Tunick create an installation which allowed people to participate in the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football. Prior to this, she interned with a handful of consumer agencies working on a variety of clientele in Sport, TV and Film. She now works across Greggs, Uber Eats & Rides, SEGA Europe, Remember a Charity and a number of spirit brands within the Edrington UK portfolio. Anna is half-Dutch, a self-confessed foodie, dedicated plant mum and is, we’re assured, the best person to have on your team for the pop culture round at a pub quiz.
Ashley recently joined the Hope&Glory team, bringing with them experience in fashion and styling, photography and content creation through their work in the events field.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years. After a brief stint in property development, quickly realising it wasn’t the career for him, Charlie boomeranged straight back to H&G in August 2022. He works across a variety of accounts, Sainsbury’s, Uber, Pokémon and Mars Wrigley. Some of his highlights over his recent time at the agency include a photoshoot in -20°C in Lapland for the launch of Uber Sleigh and working with the legend Ross Kemp for the launch of Snickers’ Match Day Reminders. When he’s not in the office you can usually find him on the golf course, or more specifically the woods on the golf course looking for his golf ball.
Charlie joined Hope&Glory as an intern in February 2023.

Outside the office, Chloe can usually be found playing netball, trying out London’s restaurants or catching up on the latest Netflix series.
Aarti joined Hope&Glory in early-2023 following a decade-long stint at Good Relations where she worked on brands including B&Q, Subway, Lidl, McVitie’s and Mini Cheddars. Her career highlights to date include issuing a memo prepping B&Q staff ahead of the release of the 50 Shades of Gray film (and subsequently sending the world’s media into a frenzy), helping biscuit lovers find the correct way to eat a McVitie’s chocolate digestive (chocolate side down in case you’re wondering) and uniting Steps and Blue to create the cheesiest wedding band ever for Mini Cheddars. At Hope&Glory, her accounts include Sainsbury’s, LinkedIn and Barclays.
Adam has been Hope&Glory’s consultant strategy director since 2019, having previously led strategy at Freuds and Weber Shandwick for 11 years. He has worked across sectors on clients ranging from UNICEF and Unilever to the Cabinet Office and PepsiCo. He’s proudest of the UNICEF Emergency Lessons work he did educating Europe’s youth on the plight of children in war and disaster zones. His passion for behavioural science led to the Sabre Award-winning “Science of Engagement” project. He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs.

Currently his clients include O2, Accor Hotels, Barclays and UNiDAYS. He is a font of random knowledge in the office and can be often found handing out his now legendary mix of sweets and confectionary.
Aggie joined Hope&Glory in January 2019. Graduating from The University of Hull with a degree in Geography, Aggie decided to swap volcanoes and glaciers for coverage and pitches. Having spent a year with Porter Novelli’s technology team, learning the ropes with clients including Western Digital and Playstation, she was excited for a new challenge. Currently working across Sony, Aqua Sana and Norwegian Cruise Lines, she is keen to immerse herself in the fast pace of the Hope&Glory offices. In her free time, you will find Aggie searching Portobello Market for crystals to add to her collection and convincing her friends astrology is real- which it obviously is!
Alex joined Hope&Glory in 2015, bringing with him a wealth of experience in sports PR and sponsorship. Since then he’s worked across all our sport and fitness accounts, including adidas, Guinness Six Nations, Virgin Active, Red Bull and AMEX’s sponsorship of Wimbledon.
Aside from the world of sport, Alex also works across our extensive drinks portfolio including The Macallan and The Famous Grouse. Outside of work you can find him supporting his beloved Aston Villa and claiming he can smell stone fruits in every whisky he tries.
After taking a year out to pursue acting, Alice went on to study Drama at the University of Exeter and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she researched the entanglement of digital body editing and the contemporary teenage girl. After realising that the world of academia may not be for her, Alice joined Hope&Glory in July 2022 and hasn’t looked back. Since joining, she has worked on accounts such as Uber, Etsy, Lick and Edrington UK and loves the fast-paced nature of the job. When Alice isn’t at work you can find her either at the theatre, exploring the restaurants and bars of London with friends or devouring the latest bestselling novel.
Alicia joined Hope&Glory in October 2015 after graduating from Bournemouth University with a degree in public relations. Over three years, she has worked on a range of accounts at Hope&Glory, most notably IKEA, Sainsbury’s, American Express, HTC and EBS (Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam bourbon) – so it’s safe to say that her home interiors are always on trend and you’ll frequently find her sipping on old fashioneds. It is fitting then, that building the nation’s smallest pub for Meantime was one of her favourite past campaigns, closely followed by re-creating Kim Kardashian’s most iconic selfies with The G-C herself (Gemma Collins) to launch HTC’s U12+ smartphone.
Amber started her Hope&Glory journey in August 2018, having spent just under two years at London-based fashion and lifestyle agency, Emerge, where she worked across the likes of Eyeko, ellesse, and Airtasker.

After working hours, Amber can often be found jewellery making, listening to true crime podcasts, and FaceTiming her family cat.
Amelia joined Hope&Glory in 2014 after graduating from the University of Exeter and spending several months travelling South East Asia. Her work at Hope&Glory has spanned a wide range of clients and sectors, from managing multiple phone launches for HTC, to working with Barclays LifeSkills to create the world’s first Work Experience. More recently, Amelia has secured some killer pieces of coverage for the Airbnb press office and put London’s East Village on the map by promoting their cheese festival with a cheese-carved “Brie-oncé”. Amelia is known around the office for being an animal lover, and can often be found trying to convince her team mates to adopt an office puppy.
Amy has been with Hope&Glory since 2016, having joined from Premier PR. She spent her formative years injecting creativity into the world of consumer healthcare, before moving on to work for five years with some of the world’s most famous attractions.

After finishing an English degree from the University of Leeds in 2020 (including a placement at Sainsbury’s and an internship at Hope&Glory) Amy spent a year at creative agency The Romans, where she worked on consumer clients including Sports Direct, Stitch Fix, Nursem and Duolingo. After a stint working on New Balance, ASOS and ellesse at fashion agency Gung Ho, Amy joined Hope&Glory in in September 2022 to work on lifestyle accounts including adidas, etsy and Lick. Outside the office you can usually find her hunting down bargains in East London vintage shops, going to art shows, making paintings of her own or buying plants on Columbia Road.
Angelique officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2023 as part of our Front of House team. Along with ensuring the day-to-day running of reception goes as smoothly as possible, she gleefully acts as our resident food-shopper. As a self-confessed foodie with a penchant for pastries, she tasks herself with keeping abreast with the latest food trends and can often be found scouring the virtual (and real-life) shopping aisles for the latest and greatest edible delights. Fascinated with the world of creative arts and interior design, she also enjoys visiting art exhibitions, photography and (of course) dabbles in a bit of baking in her spare time.
While studying for a degree in Psychology, Anna interned at a number of London PR agencies, where her first experience of the industry was accompanying a 6ft Loony Tunes character through central London!

She has been at Hope&Glory since 2016, heading up the agency’s work for Sainsbury’s, The Royal Mint, Etsy and American Airlines. Her favourite piece of work was the multi-awarding winning launch of Sky Arts on Freeview, which saw globally-recognised artist Spencer Tunick create an installation which allowed people to participate in the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football.

Her career highlights to date include issuing a memo prepping B&Q staff ahead of the release of the 50 Shades of Gray film (and subsequently sending the world’s media into a frenzy), helping biscuit lovers find the correct way to eat a McVitie’s chocolate digestive (chocolate side down in case you’re wondering) and uniting Steps and Blue to create the cheesiest wedding band ever for Mini Cheddars. At Hope&Glory, her accounts include Sainsbury’s, LinkedIn and Barclays.

His passion for behavioural science led to the Sabre Award-winning “Science of Engagement” project. He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs.

Currently working across Sony, Aqua Sana and Norwegian Cruise Lines, she is keen to immerse herself in the fast pace of the Hope&Glory offices.

After taking a year out to pursue acting, Alice went on to study Drama at the University of Exeter and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she researched the entanglement of digital body editing and the contemporary teenage girl. After realising that the world of academia may not be for her, Alice joined Hope&Glory in July 2022 and hasn’t looked back. Since joining, she has worked on accounts such as Uber, Etsy, Lick and Edrington UK and loves the fast-paced nature of the job.

More recently, Amelia has secured some killer pieces of coverage for the Airbnb press office and put London’s East Village on the map by promoting their cheese festival with a cheese-carved “Brie-oncé”. Amelia is known around the office for being an animal lover, and can often be found trying to convince her team mates to adopt an office puppy.

Angelique officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2023 as part of our Front of House team. Along with ensuring the day-to-day running of reception goes as smoothly as possible, she gleefully acts as our resident food-shopper. As a self-confessed foodie with a penchant for pastries, she tasks herself with keeping abreast with the latest food trends and can often be found scouring the virtual (and real-life) shopping aisles for the latest and greatest edible delights. Fascinated with the world of creative arts and interior design, she also enjoys visiting art exhibitions, photography and (of course) dabbles in a bit of baking in her spare time.

Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football.

Ashley recently joined the Hope&Glory team, bringing with them experience in fashion and styling, photography and content creation through their work in the events field. At Hope&Glory they are currently working with Depop, Edrington, and Greggs.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

“Hope&Glory born and bred,” Dom joined as a fresh-faced intern back in January 2013. In her time, she’s worked on a broad range of accounts across retail, travel, family, consumer tech and much more. Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules. Outside of the office, Dom’s a fitness fanatic who can often be found trying to convince everyone in the office to join her at the gym.
Don joined Hope&Glory in October 2012 having previously spent four years working on a number of consumer lifestyle brands at boutique food and travel PR agencies. He currently works across IKEA, Uber, Mr Black, Weber Grills, Symington Family Estates and the Edrington Beam-Suntory portfolio – heading up activity across a diverse range of drinks brands including Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Naked Grouse, Auchentoshan, Roku and The House of Suntory’s range of Japanese whiskies. Some of his favourite pieces of work include IKEA’s month-long DIY ‘Dining Club’ pop-up restaurant and Breakfast in Bed Cafe, the launch of the Uber Comedy Car at The Edinburgh Festival and a happy few days working as the personal publicist for the iconic ginger-quiffed American talk show host Conan O’Brien for the launch of Turner Broadcasting-owned truTV in the UK. Scottish, ginger, obsessed with the movie Jaws and bearing more than a passing resemblance to a character from Game of Thrones, Don is generally considered a nice bloke (if a little beardy).y.

At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media. Outside of the office you’ll find her at the gym working on her strength training and getting that new one rep max, tending to her babies (plants), and topping up on parmesan for her latest pasta sauce creation.
Originally from Budapest, Ella moved to the UK to complete her Master’s at the University of Glasgow in International Communications, Media & Journalism in 2019. She made the move to London in 2021 and spent a year at PR agency Red Consultancy before joining Hope&Glory in August 2022. She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.

Emma officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2016 with the office move after helping support the daily finances over the past year. Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects.

At Hope&Glory Emma works on Barclays Retail, Buzz Bingo, Get Living and Sony Campaigns, managing campaigns, press office activity and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Outside of work Emma can either be found scouring Skyscanner for a good deal or pounding the pavements and parks of SW London whilst listening to a true crime podcast.
Fiona joined Hope&Glory in 2017 after completing her Master’s in Public History at Royal Holloway, University of London and spending time exploring America.

Her highlights so far have been creating Britain’s first smart boat with Argos and Google, and walking the BAFTAs red carpet with American Airlines. Outside of work Fiona can usually be found listening to the latest true crime podcast or spoiling her dogs, Timo and Dex.
Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
Aarti joined Hope&Glory in early-2023 following a decade-long stint at Good Relations where she worked on brands including B&Q, Subway, Lidl, McVitie’s and Mini Cheddars. Her career highlights to date include issuing a memo prepping B&Q staff ahead of the release of the 50 Shades of Gray film (and subsequently sending the world’s media into a frenzy), helping biscuit lovers find the correct way to eat a McVitie’s chocolate digestive (chocolate side down in case you’re wondering) and uniting Steps and Blue to create the cheesiest wedding band ever for Mini Cheddars. At Hope&Glory, her accounts include Sainsbury’s, LinkedIn and Barclays.

His passion for behavioural science led to the Sabre Award-winning “Science of Engagement” project. He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs.

Currently his clients include O2, Accor Hotels, Barclays and UNiDAYS. He is a font of random knowledge in the office and can be often found handing out his now legendary mix of sweets and confectionary.

Currently working across Sony, Aqua Sana and Norwegian Cruise Lines, she is keen to immerse herself in the fast pace of the Hope&Glory offices. In her free time, you will find Aggie searching Portobello Market for crystals to add to her collection and convincing her friends astrology is real- which it obviously is!

After taking a year out to pursue acting, Alice went on to study Drama at the University of Exeter and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she researched the entanglement of digital body editing and the contemporary teenage girl. After realising that the world of academia may not be for her, Alice joined Hope&Glory in July 2022 and hasn’t looked back. Since joining, she has worked on accounts such as Uber, Etsy, Lick and Edrington UK and loves the fast-paced nature of the job. When Alice isn’t at work you can find her either at the theatre, exploring the restaurants and bars of London with friends or devouring the latest bestselling novel.

Over three years, she has worked on a range of accounts at Hope&Glory, most notably IKEA, Sainsbury’s, American Express, HTC and EBS (Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam bourbon) – so it’s safe to say that her home interiors are always on trend and you’ll frequently find her sipping on old fashioneds. It is fitting then, that building the nation’s smallest pub for Meantime was one of her favourite past campaigns, closely followed by re-creating Kim Kardashian’s most iconic selfies with The G-C herself (Gemma Collins) to launch HTC’s U12+ smartphone.
Amber started her Hope&Glory journey in August 2018, having spent just under two years at London-based fashion and lifestyle agency, Emerge, where she worked across the likes of Eyeko, ellesse, and Airtasker.

More recently, Amelia has secured some killer pieces of coverage for the Airbnb press office and put London’s East Village on the map by promoting their cheese festival with a cheese-carved “Brie-oncé”. Amelia is known around the office for being an animal lover, and can often be found trying to convince her team mates to adopt an office puppy.
Amy has been with Hope&Glory since 2016, having joined from Premier PR. She spent her formative years injecting creativity into the world of consumer healthcare, before moving on to work for five years with some of the world’s most famous attractions.

Angelique officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2023 as part of our Front of House team. Along with ensuring the day-to-day running of reception goes as smoothly as possible, she gleefully acts as our resident food-shopper.

Fascinated with the world of creative arts and interior design, she also enjoys visiting art exhibitions, photography and (of course) dabbles in a bit of baking in her spare time.
While studying for a degree in Psychology, Anna interned at a number of London PR agencies, where her first experience of the industry was accompanying a 6ft Loony Tunes character through central London!

She has been at Hope&Glory since 2016, heading up the agency’s work for Sainsbury’s, The Royal Mint, Etsy and American Airlines. Her favourite piece of work was the multi-awarding winning launch of Sky Arts on Freeview, which saw globally-recognised artist Spencer Tunick create an installation which allowed people to participate in the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice.

Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules.

Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy.

At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023.

She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper.

She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.

Ashley recently joined the Hope&Glory team, bringing with them experience in fashion and styling, photography and content creation through their work in the events field. At Hope&Glory they are currently working with Depop, Edrington, and Greggs.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years. After a brief stint in property development, quickly realising it wasn’t the career for him, Charlie boomeranged straight back to H&G in August 2022. He works across a variety of accounts, Sainsbury’s, Uber, Pokémon and Mars Wrigley. Some of his highlights over his recent time at the agency include a photoshoot in -20°C in Lapland for the launch of Uber Sleigh and working with the legend Ross Kemp for the launch of Snickers’ Match Day Reminders. When he’s not in the office you can usually find him on the golf course, or more specifically the woods on the golf course looking for his golf ball.
Charlie joined Hope&Glory as an intern in February 2023. After studying Journalism at university, Charlie kick started her PR career at Honest Communications in Derby, working on brands such as Wilkinson Sword before making the big move to London.

Charlie is a little bit of a chatter box, her colleagues would definitely say you know when she is about.
Claire joined the Hope&Glory team in the summer of 2019, bringing over a decade’s worth of B2C and B2B experience with her.

“Hope&Glory born and bred,” Dom joined as a fresh-faced intern back in January 2013. In her time, she’s worked on a broad range of accounts across retail, travel, family, consumer tech and much more. Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules. Outside of the office, Dom’s a fitness fanatic who can often be found trying to convince everyone in the office to join her at the gym.
Don joined Hope&Glory in October 2012 having previously spent four years working on a number of consumer lifestyle brands at boutique food and travel PR agencies. He currently works across IKEA, Uber, Mr Black, Weber Grills, Symington Family Estates and the Edrington Beam-Suntory portfolio – heading up activity across a diverse range of drinks brands including Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Naked Grouse, Auchentoshan, Roku and The House of Suntory’s range of Japanese whiskies.

Scottish, ginger, obsessed with the movie Jaws and bearing more than a passing resemblance to a character from Game of Thrones, Don is generally considered a nice bloke (if a little beardy).y.

At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media.

Originally from Budapest, Ella moved to the UK to complete her Master’s at the University of Glasgow in International Communications, Media & Journalism in 2019.

She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.
Ready for a new challenge, Emma is now working for a variety of clients including Barclays Mortgages, LinkedIn, HTC, Symingtons and Beam Suntory, and she is excited to get stuck in.

Emma officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2016 with the office move after helping support the daily finances over the past year. Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects. There she got the chance to promote Mariah Carey’s surprising hostel appearance for Hostelworld and worked with McAfee on their annual ‘most dangerous celebrity’ campaign.
At Hope&Glory Emma works on Barclays Retail, Buzz Bingo, Get Living and Sony Campaigns, managing campaigns, press office activity and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Outside of work Emma can either be found scouring Skyscanner for a good deal or pounding the pavements and parks of SW London whilst listening to a true crime podcast.
Fiona joined Hope&Glory in 2017 after completing her Master’s in Public History at Royal Holloway, University of London and spending time exploring America.

Her highlights so far have been creating Britain’s first smart boat with Argos and Google, and walking the BAFTAs red carpet with American Airlines. Outside of work Fiona can usually be found listening to the latest true crime podcast or spoiling her dogs, Timo and Dex.
Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023. As a self-proclaimed foodie, Georgia was delighted to be joining the Resy account, as well as working on Argos and Lingo.

Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper.

At Hope&Glory, Hannah works on Guinness, Edrington UK, Sony Content, Sony Xperia and Tourism Australia. Outside of the office, Hannah can be found roaming the streets (and bars) of Shoreditch, buying an obscene amount of plants from Columbia Flower Market and obsessing over the ultimate snack…crisps!

She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.
Jack joined the Hope&Glory team in October 2022.

Since his arrival at Hope&Glory, James has activated sports sponsorship opportunities for American Express, Hotels.com and Paddy Power across the worlds of tennis, football and thumb wrestling. His current clients include Guinness, Sony, Hostelworld, O2 and Bethesda.
James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London. He can usually be found with a pint in his hand at pub quizzes, reminiscing about the better times at Old Trafford, or hitting a gaming marathon on his PS4.

James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Aarti joined Hope&Glory in early-2023 following a decade-long stint at Good Relations where she worked on brands including B&Q, Subway, Lidl, McVitie’s and Mini Cheddars. Her career highlights to date include issuing a memo prepping B&Q staff ahead of the release of the 50 Shades of Gray film (and subsequently sending the world’s media into a frenzy), helping biscuit lovers find the correct way to eat a McVitie’s chocolate digestive (chocolate side down in case you’re wondering) and uniting Steps and Blue to create the cheesiest wedding band ever for Mini Cheddars. At Hope&Glory, her accounts include Sainsbury’s, LinkedIn and Barclays.
Adam has been Hope&Glory’s consultant strategy director since 2019, having previously led strategy at Freuds and Weber Shandwick for 11 years.

His passion for behavioural science led to the Sabre Award-winning “Science of Engagement” project. He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs.

Currently working across Sony, Aqua Sana and Norwegian Cruise Lines, she is keen to immerse herself in the fast pace of the Hope&Glory offices. In her free time, you will find Aggie searching Portobello Market for crystals to add to her collection and convincing her friends astrology is real- which it obviously is!
Alex joined Hope&Glory in 2015, bringing with him a wealth of experience in sports PR and sponsorship. Since then he’s worked across all our sport and fitness accounts, including adidas, Guinness Six Nations, Virgin Active, Red Bull and AMEX’s sponsorship of Wimbledon.

After taking a year out to pursue acting, Alice went on to study Drama at the University of Exeter and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she researched the entanglement of digital body editing and the contemporary teenage girl.

“Hope&Glory born and bred,” Dom joined as a fresh-faced intern back in January 2013. In her time, she’s worked on a broad range of accounts across retail, travel, family, consumer tech and much more. Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules. Outside of the office, Dom’s a fitness fanatic who can often be found trying to convince everyone in the office to join her at the gym.

At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media.

Originally from Budapest, Ella moved to the UK to complete her Master’s at the University of Glasgow in International Communications, Media & Journalism in 2019.

She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.

Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects. There she got the chance to promote Mariah Carey’s surprising hostel appearance for Hostelworld and worked with McAfee on their annual ‘most dangerous celebrity’ campaign.
At Hope&Glory Emma works on Barclays Retail, Buzz Bingo, Get Living and Sony Campaigns, managing campaigns, press office activity and drinking copious amounts of coffee.

Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023. As a self-proclaimed foodie, Georgia was delighted to be joining the Resy account, as well as working on Argos and Lingo.

Hannah is now working on a variety of accounts including adidas, Greggs, Sainsburys food, Symingtons and Beam Suntory International. Outside the office Hannah can be found on the Lacrosse pitch, hunting down the best espresso martinis in London (send any suggestions her way) or shopping (which she has elevated to an art form).
Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper.

At Hope&Glory, Hannah works on Guinness, Edrington UK, Sony Content, Sony Xperia and Tourism Australia. Outside of the office, Hannah can be found roaming the streets (and bars) of Shoreditch, buying an obscene amount of plants from Columbia Flower Market and obsessing over the ultimate snack…crisps!

Ignez fit into the agency lifestyle very quickly: started working on our Front of House but quickly moved on to the PR side of the company, working with clients such as Le Creuset, feeding into her love for the brand and passion for home interior design. She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.

After graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2019, he traded the Norfolk broads for pitches and press releases and completed a year-long stint in PR in Manchester before moving to London for two years at Milk & Honey. Since making the move to Hope&Glory, he has kicked off work across LinkedIn, Findmypast, Sainsburys, SEGA and Pokémon. When he’s not doing that, you’ll find him failing to beat his running PBs, coveting the latest paperback, or completing the latest Pokédex.
Jack is a Creative Director at Hope&Glory. He joined with over a decade’s experience at agencies including Mischief, The Brooklyn Brothers, M&C Saatchi PR and Kaper, creating attention grabbing work for clients ranging from LEGO to Coca-Cola to Jaguar Land Rover.

When not in the office, you will likely find him behind the wheel of a car, at the table of a bougie restaurant or “in the studio” (aka his office / man cave) making some “bass heavy beats”.
James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford.

James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London. He can usually be found with a pint in his hand at pub quizzes, reminiscing about the better times at Old Trafford, or hitting a gaming marathon on his PS4.

He started the agency alongside Jo at the end of 2011, prior to which he was managing partner at Seventy Seven PR (now a part of FleishmanHillard Fishburn).

Some of his favourite pieces of work in the last five years includes catapulting the HTC “Phonies” campaign to global fame and dramatically increasing sales, luring 12,000 people to a cheese and wine festival by recreating Beyoncé’s infamous pregnancy announcement – dubbed “Brie-oncé”, and creating DN-Ale, the world’s first beer to based on the DNA of its Brewmaster for Meantime.
James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s.

Aarti joined Hope&Glory in early-2023 following a decade-long stint at Good Relations where she worked on brands including B&Q, Subway, Lidl, McVitie’s and Mini Cheddars.

After a degree in photography and a short time being an e-commerce photographer, Elise spent four years as an in-house social media specialist, before making the switch to Richmond & Towers where she headed up the community engagement project for Alpro. At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media. Outside of the office you’ll find her at the gym working on her strength training and getting that new one rep max, tending to her babies (plants), and topping up on parmesan for her latest pasta sauce creation.
Originally from Budapest, Ella moved to the UK to complete her Master’s at the University of Glasgow in International Communications, Media & Journalism in 2019. She made the move to London in 2021 and spent a year at PR agency Red Consultancy before joining Hope&Glory in August 2022. She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.
Ready for a new challenge, Emma is now working for a variety of clients including Barclays Mortgages, LinkedIn, HTC, Symingtons and Beam Suntory, and she is excited to get stuck in. Outside of the office, Emma can be found planning her next adventure, dancing, or exploring London and its many restaurants.
Emma officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2016 with the office move after helping support the daily finances over the past year. Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects. There she got the chance to promote Mariah Carey’s surprising hostel appearance for Hostelworld and worked with McAfee on their annual ‘most dangerous celebrity’ campaign.
At Hope&Glory Emma works on Barclays Retail, Buzz Bingo, Get Living and Sony Campaigns, managing campaigns, press office activity and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Outside of work Emma can either be found scouring Skyscanner for a good deal or pounding the pavements and parks of SW London whilst listening to a true crime podcast.
Fiona joined Hope&Glory in 2017 after completing her Master’s in Public History at Royal Holloway, University of London and spending time exploring America.

Her highlights so far have been creating Britain’s first smart boat with Argos and Google, and walking the BAFTAs red carpet with American Airlines. Outside of work Fiona can usually be found listening to the latest true crime podcast or spoiling her dogs, Timo and Dex.
Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023. As a self-proclaimed foodie, Georgia was delighted to be joining the Resy account, as well as working on Argos and Lingo. Outside the office, Georgia can be found practicing her Latin American dance moves in a Zumba class or getting stuck into the latest novel that BookTok has convinced her to read.
Hannah joined Hope&Glory after completing her degree in Politics & International Relations at Cardiff University. Prior to this she interned for VM COMMS where she worked on a range of beauty brands such as Dr.Jart+, Bobbi Brown and Beauty Bay. Hannah is now working on a variety of accounts including adidas, Greggs, Sainsburys food, Symingtons and Beam Suntory International. Outside the office Hannah can be found on the Lacrosse pitch, hunting down the best espresso martinis in London (send any suggestions her way) or shopping (which she has elevated to an art form).
Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper. There, she was part of McAfee’s infamous Most Dangerous Celebrity campaign team for three years running, as well as working on Vrbo’s award winning ‘Teddy Express’ campaign, through to setting the dating world to rights during lockdown with OkCupid. At Hope&Glory, Hannah works on Guinness, Edrington UK, Sony Content, Sony Xperia and Tourism Australia. Outside of the office, Hannah can be found roaming the streets (and bars) of Shoreditch, buying an obscene amount of plants from Columbia Flower Market and obsessing over the ultimate snack…crisps! Believe it or not, there isn’t a flavour she doesn’t like!

Ignez joined Hope&Glory in March 2022. Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, she has a background in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre and decided to move to London around four years ago to follow that passion. Ignez fit into the agency lifestyle very quickly: started working on our Front of House but quickly moved on to the PR side of the company, working with clients such as Le Creuset, feeding into her love for the brand and passion for home interior design. She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.
Jack joined the Hope&Glory team in October 2022. After graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2019, he traded the Norfolk broads for pitches and press releases and completed a year-long stint in PR in Manchester before moving to London for two years at Milk & Honey. Since making the move to Hope&Glory, he has kicked off work across LinkedIn, Findmypast, Sainsburys, SEGA and Pokémon. When he’s not doing that, you’ll find him failing to beat his running PBs, coveting the latest paperback, or completing the latest Pokédex.
Jack is a Creative Director at Hope&Glory. He joined with over a decade’s experience at agencies including Mischief, The Brooklyn Brothers, M&C Saatchi PR and Kaper, creating attention grabbing work for clients ranging from LEGO to Coca-Cola to Jaguar Land Rover. As well as being passionate about all things creative, Jack is a keen advocate of bringing talent from a range of backgrounds into the industry and has been a long-time mentor on schemes such as D&AD Shift. When not in the office, you will likely find him behind the wheel of a car, at the table of a bougie restaurant or “in the studio” (aka his office / man cave) making some “bass heavy beats”.
James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford. He is most proud of his involvement in the Missing Type campaign for the NHS Blood & Transplant and his environmental efforts for the Lewis Pugh Foundation.
Since his arrival at Hope&Glory, James has activated sports sponsorship opportunities for American Express, Hotels.com and Paddy Power across the worlds of tennis, football and thumb wrestling. His current clients include Guinness, Sony, Hostelworld, O2 and Bethesda.
James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London. He can usually be found with a pint in his hand at pub quizzes, reminiscing about the better times at Old Trafford, or hitting a gaming marathon on his PS4.
James is a co-founder and managing partner at Hope&Glory. He started the agency alongside Jo at the end of 2011, prior to which he was managing partner at Seventy Seven PR (now a part of FleishmanHillard Fishburn). Together, he and Jo have so far managed to build a respectably accomplished team that work on some fantastic clients. Some of his favourite pieces of work in the last five years includes catapulting the HTC “Phonies” campaign to global fame and dramatically increasing sales, luring 12,000 people to a cheese and wine festival by recreating Beyoncé’s infamous pregnancy announcement – dubbed “Brie-oncé”, and creating DN-Ale, the world’s first beer to based on the DNA of its Brewmaster for Meantime.
James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s. Outside of the office Jenni can be found trying out the latest bottomless brunch spots, practising her baking skills, or attempting to master her latest challenge, roller skating…despite her notorious clumsiness.
Jennie joined Hope&Glory in November 2020, after working for the creative agency Taylor Herring, where she worked across various brands such as Samsung, easyJet, Just Eat and Disney. She moved to the UK from Canada in 2019 to finish her postgraduate program in public relations. In Toronto, she had the opportunity to work with iconic Canadian companies like Roots and EntertainmentOne. Now she works across a number of Hope&Glory projects ranging from Pokémon to American Express. In addition to her passion for PR, Jennie comes from a long line of badminton legends but also enjoys tennis, squash, soccer and snowboarding. Any London pizza spot recommendations please send her way.

AT H&G, Jess is currently working with the likes of Uber and Uber Eats, Virgin Media O2, The Royal Mint and Buzz Bingo. Jess loves creating exciting work that grabs attention and gets people talking and finds nothing more satisfying than friends and family seeing the results of her work in the wild. Outside work, Jess is learning the ropes as a new dog mum and is on a seemingly never-ending mission to renovate her north London flat.
Having just graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in English Literature, Jessica joined Hope&Glory as an Account Assistant in August 2019.
Jess previously had some experience in marketing, but now wants to channel her creativity and put her writing skills into practice within the dynamic field of PR & Communications. She has avid interests in fashion, beauty, food and drink, and since starting with the agency has already been involved in exciting projects for clients such as FIJI Water, Instagram, Pots&Co, and Uber to name a few.
On a good day, Jess can be found gallery-hopping around London, enjoying some live music or even a life drawing class; but most of the time she’s just lost in a good book or her favourite astrology podcast.
Jessie joined the ranks of Hope&Glory in early 2016 following stints at both House PR and Kazoo Communications. Her varied portfolio includes technology, entertainment and lifestyle brands, featuring everything from Kia Motors to BT. Since becoming a member of the Hope&Glory team, she’s immersed herself in the wonderful world of VR with HTC Vive, got hands-on with Sony’s Sound portfolio and met with many a cosplayer for Final Fantasy XIV. Some personal highlights include managing a collaboration with the Royal Academy and HTC Vive to showcase the world’s first art pieces created entirely in VR, and as a huge fan of reality TV, painting a topless Mario Falcone for TruTV.

Jo gets a kick out of making sure our clients are happy and ensuring the team are delivering their very best work. She is generally the voice of reason in the office, and is good at keeping everyone calm under pressure, a skill she attributes to having two very boisterous sons at home.
Katy joined Hope&Glory in 2016, having previously worked on brands like NOW TV, EE, Deezer, and Warner Bros at Fever PR. She has over a decade of experience working on both a global and UK level and currently heads up the teams for brands including Bulb, Sky and Costa Coffee. Her passion is taking brands out of their comfort zones, moving them out of their natural spaces and creating big bang campaigns that resonate with consumers and media alike. When she’s not at the office, Katy can be found on the netball court, climbing the leaderboard on her Peloton bike or planning her next travel adventure (now with a small person in tow).
Aarti joined Hope&Glory in early-2023 following a decade-long stint at Good Relations where she worked on brands including B&Q, Subway, Lidl, McVitie’s and Mini Cheddars. Her career highlights to date include issuing a memo prepping B&Q staff ahead of the release of the 50 Shades of Gray film (and subsequently sending the world’s media into a frenzy), helping biscuit lovers find the correct way to eat a McVitie’s chocolate digestive (chocolate side down in case you’re wondering) and uniting Steps and Blue to create the cheesiest wedding band ever for Mini Cheddars. At Hope&Glory, her accounts include Sainsbury’s, LinkedIn and Barclays.

He has worked across sectors on clients ranging from UNICEF and Unilever to the Cabinet Office and PepsiCo.

His passion for behavioural science led to the Sabre Award-winning “Science of Engagement” project. He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs.

Currently his clients include O2, Accor Hotels, Barclays and UNiDAYS. He is a font of random knowledge in the office and can be often found handing out his now legendary mix of sweets and confectionary.
Aggie joined Hope&Glory in January 2019. Graduating from The University of Hull with a degree in Geography, Aggie decided to swap volcanoes and glaciers for coverage and pitches. Having spent a year with Porter Novelli’s technology team, learning the ropes with clients including Western Digital and Playstation, she was excited for a new challenge. Currently working across Sony, Aqua Sana and Norwegian Cruise Lines, she is keen to immerse herself in the fast pace of the Hope&Glory offices. In her free time, you will find Aggie searching Portobello Market for crystals to add to her collection and convincing her friends astrology is real- which it obviously is!
Alex joined Hope&Glory in 2015, bringing with him a wealth of experience in sports PR and sponsorship. Since then he’s worked across all our sport and fitness accounts, including adidas, Guinness Six Nations, Virgin Active, Red Bull and AMEX’s sponsorship of Wimbledon.
Aside from the world of sport, Alex also works across our extensive drinks portfolio including The Macallan and The Famous Grouse. Outside of work you can find him supporting his beloved Aston Villa and claiming he can smell stone fruits in every whisky he tries.
After taking a year out to pursue acting, Alice went on to study Drama at the University of Exeter and an MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Queens’ College, Cambridge where she researched the entanglement of digital body editing and the contemporary teenage girl. After realising that the world of academia may not be for her, Alice joined Hope&Glory in July 2022 and hasn’t looked back. Since joining, she has worked on accounts such as Uber, Etsy, Lick and Edrington UK and loves the fast-paced nature of the job. When Alice isn’t at work you can find her either at the theatre, exploring the restaurants and bars of London with friends or devouring the latest bestselling novel.
Alicia joined Hope&Glory in October 2015 after graduating from Bournemouth University with a degree in public relations. Over three years, she has worked on a range of accounts at Hope&Glory, most notably IKEA, Sainsbury’s, American Express, HTC and EBS (Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam bourbon) – so it’s safe to say that her home interiors are always on trend and you’ll frequently find her sipping on old fashioneds. It is fitting then, that building the nation’s smallest pub for Meantime was one of her favourite past campaigns, closely followed by re-creating Kim Kardashian’s most iconic selfies with The G-C herself (Gemma Collins) to launch HTC’s U12+ smartphone.
Amber started her Hope&Glory journey in August 2018, having spent just under two years at London-based fashion and lifestyle agency, Emerge, where she worked across the likes of Eyeko, ellesse, and Airtasker.

More recently, Amelia has secured some killer pieces of coverage for the Airbnb press office and put London’s East Village on the map by promoting their cheese festival with a cheese-carved “Brie-oncé”. Amelia is known around the office for being an animal lover, and can often be found trying to convince her team mates to adopt an office puppy.

Angelique officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2023 as part of our Front of House team. Along with ensuring the day-to-day running of reception goes as smoothly as possible, she gleefully acts as our resident food-shopper. As a self-confessed foodie with a penchant for pastries, she tasks herself with keeping abreast with the latest food trends and can often be found scouring the virtual (and real-life) shopping aisles for the latest and greatest edible delights. Fascinated with the world of creative arts and interior design, she also enjoys visiting art exhibitions, photography and (of course) dabbles in a bit of baking in her spare time.

Her favourite piece of work was the multi-awarding winning launch of Sky Arts on Freeview, which saw globally-recognised artist Spencer Tunick create an installation which allowed people to participate in the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

After a degree in photography and a short time being an e-commerce photographer, Elise spent four years as an in-house social media specialist, before making the switch to Richmond & Towers where she headed up the community engagement project for Alpro. At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media. Outside of the office you’ll find her at the gym working on her strength training and getting that new one rep max, tending to her babies (plants), and topping up on parmesan for her latest pasta sauce creation.
Originally from Budapest, Ella moved to the UK to complete her Master’s at the University of Glasgow in International Communications, Media & Journalism in 2019. She made the move to London in 2021 and spent a year at PR agency Red Consultancy before joining Hope&Glory in August 2022. She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.
Ready for a new challenge, Emma is now working for a variety of clients including Barclays Mortgages, LinkedIn, HTC, Symingtons and Beam Suntory, and she is excited to get stuck in. Outside of the office, Emma can be found planning her next adventure, dancing, or exploring London and its many restaurants.
Emma officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2016 with the office move after helping support the daily finances over the past year. Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects. There she got the chance to promote Mariah Carey’s surprising hostel appearance for Hostelworld and worked with McAfee on their annual ‘most dangerous celebrity’ campaign.
At Hope&Glory Emma works on Barclays Retail, Buzz Bingo, Get Living and Sony Campaigns, managing campaigns, press office activity and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Outside of work Emma can either be found scouring Skyscanner for a good deal or pounding the pavements and parks of SW London whilst listening to a true crime podcast.
Fiona joined Hope&Glory in 2017 after completing her Master’s in Public History at Royal Holloway, University of London and spending time exploring America.

Her highlights so far have been creating Britain’s first smart boat with Argos and Google, and walking the BAFTAs red carpet with American Airlines. Outside of work Fiona can usually be found listening to the latest true crime podcast or spoiling her dogs, Timo and Dex.
Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023. As a self-proclaimed foodie, Georgia was delighted to be joining the Resy account, as well as working on Argos and Lingo.

Hannah is now working on a variety of accounts including adidas, Greggs, Sainsburys food, Symingtons and Beam Suntory International. Outside the office Hannah can be found on the Lacrosse pitch, hunting down the best espresso martinis in London (send any suggestions her way) or shopping (which she has elevated to an art form).
Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper. There, she was part of McAfee’s infamous Most Dangerous Celebrity campaign team for three years running, as well as working on Vrbo’s award winning ‘Teddy Express’ campaign, through to setting the dating world to rights during lockdown with OkCupid. At Hope&Glory, Hannah works on Guinness, Edrington UK, Sony Content, Sony Xperia and Tourism Australia. Outside of the office, Hannah can be found roaming the streets (and bars) of Shoreditch, buying an obscene amount of plants from Columbia Flower Market and obsessing over the ultimate snack…crisps! Believe it or not, there isn’t a flavour she doesn’t like!

Ignez fit into the agency lifestyle very quickly: started working on our Front of House but quickly moved on to the PR side of the company, working with clients such as Le Creuset, feeding into her love for the brand and passion for home interior design. She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.
Jack joined the Hope&Glory team in October 2022. After graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2019, he traded the Norfolk broads for pitches and press releases and completed a year-long stint in PR in Manchester before moving to London for two years at Milk & Honey. Since making the move to Hope&Glory, he has kicked off work across LinkedIn, Findmypast, Sainsburys, SEGA and Pokémon. When he’s not doing that, you’ll find him failing to beat his running PBs, coveting the latest paperback, or completing the latest Pokédex.
Jack is a Creative Director at Hope&Glory. He joined with over a decade’s experience at agencies including Mischief, The Brooklyn Brothers, M&C Saatchi PR and Kaper, creating attention grabbing work for clients ranging from LEGO to Coca-Cola to Jaguar Land Rover. As well as being passionate about all things creative, Jack is a keen advocate of bringing talent from a range of backgrounds into the industry and has been a long-time mentor on schemes such as D&AD Shift. When not in the office, you will likely find him behind the wheel of a car, at the table of a bougie restaurant or “in the studio” (aka his office / man cave) making some “bass heavy beats”.
James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford. He is most proud of his involvement in the Missing Type campaign for the NHS Blood & Transplant and his environmental efforts for the Lewis Pugh Foundation.
Since his arrival at Hope&Glory, James has activated sports sponsorship opportunities for American Express, Hotels.com and Paddy Power across the worlds of tennis, football and thumb wrestling. His current clients include Guinness, Sony, Hostelworld, O2 and Bethesda.
James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London. He can usually be found with a pint in his hand at pub quizzes, reminiscing about the better times at Old Trafford, or hitting a gaming marathon on his PS4.
James is a co-founder and managing partner at Hope&Glory. He started the agency alongside Jo at the end of 2011, prior to which he was managing partner at Seventy Seven PR (now a part of FleishmanHillard Fishburn). Together, he and Jo have so far managed to build a respectably accomplished team that work on some fantastic clients. Some of his favourite pieces of work in the last five years includes catapulting the HTC “Phonies” campaign to global fame and dramatically increasing sales, luring 12,000 people to a cheese and wine festival by recreating Beyoncé’s infamous pregnancy announcement – dubbed “Brie-oncé”, and creating DN-Ale, the world’s first beer to based on the DNA of its Brewmaster for Meantime.
James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s. Outside of the office Jenni can be found trying out the latest bottomless brunch spots, practising her baking skills, or attempting to master her latest challenge, roller skating…despite her notorious clumsiness.
Jennie joined Hope&Glory in November 2020, after working for the creative agency Taylor Herring, where she worked across various brands such as Samsung, easyJet, Just Eat and Disney. She moved to the UK from Canada in 2019 to finish her postgraduate program in public relations.

AT H&G, Jess is currently working with the likes of Uber and Uber Eats, Virgin Media O2, The Royal Mint and Buzz Bingo. Jess loves creating exciting work that grabs attention and gets people talking and finds nothing more satisfying than friends and family seeing the results of her work in the wild. Outside work, Jess is learning the ropes as a new dog mum and is on a seemingly never-ending mission to renovate her north London flat.
Having just graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in English Literature, Jessica joined Hope&Glory as an Account Assistant in August 2019.
Jess previously had some experience in marketing, but now wants to channel her creativity and put her writing skills into practice within the dynamic field of PR & Communications. She has avid interests in fashion, beauty, food and drink, and since starting with the agency has already been involved in exciting projects for clients such as FIJI Water, Instagram, Pots&Co, and Uber to name a few.
On a good day, Jess can be found gallery-hopping around London, enjoying some live music or even a life drawing class; but most of the time she’s just lost in a good book or her favourite astrology podcast.
Jessie joined the ranks of Hope&Glory in early 2016 following stints at both House PR and Kazoo Communications. Her varied portfolio includes technology, entertainment and lifestyle brands, featuring everything from Kia Motors to BT. Since becoming a member of the Hope&Glory team, she’s immersed herself in the wonderful world of VR with HTC Vive, got hands-on with Sony’s Sound portfolio and met with many a cosplayer for Final Fantasy XIV.

Jo gets a kick out of making sure our clients are happy and ensuring the team are delivering their very best work. She is generally the voice of reason in the office, and is good at keeping everyone calm under pressure, a skill she attributes to having two very boisterous sons at home.

She has over a decade of experience working on both a global and UK level and currently heads up the teams for brands including Bulb, Sky and Costa Coffee.

He is currently supporting our strategic work with the likes of Tourism Australia, Facebook and Guinness. Adam’s baldness pre-dates his fathering of two under-eights but his grey hairs do not.
Adrian is a founding partner of Hope&Glory and a consumer brand publicist with some eighteen years’ experience. He joined from Good Relations, where he worked for eight years on brands including Honda, Southern Trains, comparethemarket.com, Texaco and Kelloggs.

Over three years, she has worked on a range of accounts at Hope&Glory, most notably IKEA, Sainsbury’s, American Express, HTC and EBS (Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam bourbon) – so it’s safe to say that her home interiors are always on trend and you’ll frequently find her sipping on old fashioneds. It is fitting then, that building the nation’s smallest pub for Meantime was one of her favourite past campaigns, closely followed by re-creating Kim Kardashian’s most iconic selfies with The G-C herself (Gemma Collins) to launch HTC’s U12+ smartphone.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

When not in the office, you can find Demi eating her way around London or organising her next trip abroad! Any recommended travel destinations, please send her way.
“Hope&Glory born and bred,” Dom joined as a fresh-faced intern back in January 2013. In her time, she’s worked on a broad range of accounts across retail, travel, family, consumer tech and much more. Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules. Outside of the office, Dom’s a fitness fanatic who can often be found trying to convince everyone in the office to join her at the gym.
Don joined Hope&Glory in October 2012 having previously spent four years working on a number of consumer lifestyle brands at boutique food and travel PR agencies. He currently works across IKEA, Uber, Mr Black, Weber Grills, Symington Family Estates and the Edrington Beam-Suntory portfolio – heading up activity across a diverse range of drinks brands including Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Naked Grouse, Auchentoshan, Roku and The House of Suntory’s range of Japanese whiskies. Some of his favourite pieces of work include IKEA’s month-long DIY ‘Dining Club’ pop-up restaurant and Breakfast in Bed Cafe, the launch of the Uber Comedy Car at The Edinburgh Festival and a happy few days working as the personal publicist for the iconic ginger-quiffed American talk show host Conan O’Brien for the launch of Turner Broadcasting-owned truTV in the UK. Scottish, ginger, obsessed with the movie Jaws and bearing more than a passing resemblance to a character from Game of Thrones, Don is generally considered a nice bloke (if a little beardy).y.

After a degree in photography and a short time being an e-commerce photographer, Elise spent four years as an in-house social media specialist, before making the switch to Richmond & Towers where she headed up the community engagement project for Alpro. At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media. Outside of the office you’ll find her at the gym working on her strength training and getting that new one rep max, tending to her babies (plants), and topping up on parmesan for her latest pasta sauce creation.
Originally from Budapest, Ella moved to the UK to complete her Master’s at the University of Glasgow in International Communications, Media & Journalism in 2019. She made the move to London in 2021 and spent a year at PR agency Red Consultancy before joining Hope&Glory in August 2022. She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.
Ready for a new challenge, Emma is now working for a variety of clients including Barclays Mortgages, LinkedIn, HTC, Symingtons and Beam Suntory, and she is excited to get stuck in. Outside of the office, Emma can be found planning her next adventure, dancing, or exploring London and its many restaurants.
Emma officially joined the Hope&Glory family in February 2016 with the office move after helping support the daily finances over the past year. Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects. There she got the chance to promote Mariah Carey’s surprising hostel appearance for Hostelworld and worked with McAfee on their annual ‘most dangerous celebrity’ campaign.
At Hope&Glory Emma works on Barclays Retail, Buzz Bingo, Get Living and Sony Campaigns, managing campaigns, press office activity and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Outside of work Emma can either be found scouring Skyscanner for a good deal or pounding the pavements and parks of SW London whilst listening to a true crime podcast.
Fiona joined Hope&Glory in 2017 after completing her Master’s in Public History at Royal Holloway, University of London and spending time exploring America.

Outside of work Fiona can usually be found listening to the latest true crime podcast or spoiling her dogs, Timo and Dex.
Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023. As a self-proclaimed foodie, Georgia was delighted to be joining the Resy account, as well as working on Argos and Lingo.

Hannah is now working on a variety of accounts including adidas, Greggs, Sainsburys food, Symingtons and Beam Suntory International. Outside the office Hannah can be found on the Lacrosse pitch, hunting down the best espresso martinis in London (send any suggestions her way) or shopping (which she has elevated to an art form).
Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper. There, she was part of McAfee’s infamous Most Dangerous Celebrity campaign team for three years running, as well as working on Vrbo’s award winning ‘Teddy Express’ campaign, through to setting the dating world to rights during lockdown with OkCupid. At Hope&Glory, Hannah works on Guinness, Edrington UK, Sony Content, Sony Xperia and Tourism Australia. Outside of the office, Hannah can be found roaming the streets (and bars) of Shoreditch, buying an obscene amount of plants from Columbia Flower Market and obsessing over the ultimate snack…crisps!

Ignez joined Hope&Glory in March 2022. Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, she has a background in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre and decided to move to London around four years ago to follow that passion. Ignez fit into the agency lifestyle very quickly: started working on our Front of House but quickly moved on to the PR side of the company, working with clients such as Le Creuset, feeding into her love for the brand and passion for home interior design. She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.
Jack joined the Hope&Glory team in October 2022. After graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2019, he traded the Norfolk broads for pitches and press releases and completed a year-long stint in PR in Manchester before moving to London for two years at Milk & Honey. Since making the move to Hope&Glory, he has kicked off work across LinkedIn, Findmypast, Sainsburys, SEGA and Pokémon. When he’s not doing that, you’ll find him failing to beat his running PBs, coveting the latest paperback, or completing the latest Pokédex.
Jack is a Creative Director at Hope&Glory. He joined with over a decade’s experience at agencies including Mischief, The Brooklyn Brothers, M&C Saatchi PR and Kaper, creating attention grabbing work for clients ranging from LEGO to Coca-Cola to Jaguar Land Rover. As well as being passionate about all things creative, Jack is a keen advocate of bringing talent from a range of backgrounds into the industry and has been a long-time mentor on schemes such as D&AD Shift. When not in the office, you will likely find him behind the wheel of a car, at the table of a bougie restaurant or “in the studio” (aka his office / man cave) making some “bass heavy beats”.
James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford. He is most proud of his involvement in the Missing Type campaign for the NHS Blood & Transplant and his environmental efforts for the Lewis Pugh Foundation.
Since his arrival at Hope&Glory, James has activated sports sponsorship opportunities for American Express, Hotels.com and Paddy Power across the worlds of tennis, football and thumb wrestling. His current clients include Guinness, Sony, Hostelworld, O2 and Bethesda.
James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London. He can usually be found with a pint in his hand at pub quizzes, reminiscing about the better times at Old Trafford, or hitting a gaming marathon on his PS4.
James is a co-founder and managing partner at Hope&Glory. He started the agency alongside Jo at the end of 2011, prior to which he was managing partner at Seventy Seven PR (now a part of FleishmanHillard Fishburn). Together, he and Jo have so far managed to build a respectably accomplished team that work on some fantastic clients. Some of his favourite pieces of work in the last five years includes catapulting the HTC “Phonies” campaign to global fame and dramatically increasing sales, luring 12,000 people to a cheese and wine festival by recreating Beyoncé’s infamous pregnancy announcement – dubbed “Brie-oncé”, and creating DN-Ale, the world’s first beer to based on the DNA of its Brewmaster for Meantime.
James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s. Outside of the office Jenni can be found trying out the latest bottomless brunch spots, practising her baking skills, or attempting to master her latest challenge, roller skating…despite her notorious clumsiness.
Jennie joined Hope&Glory in November 2020, after working for the creative agency Taylor Herring, where she worked across various brands such as Samsung, easyJet, Just Eat and Disney. She moved to the UK from Canada in 2019 to finish her postgraduate program in public relations. In Toronto, she had the opportunity to work with iconic Canadian companies like Roots and EntertainmentOne. Now she works across a number of Hope&Glory projects ranging from Pokémon to American Express. In addition to her passion for PR, Jennie comes from a long line of badminton legends but also enjoys tennis, squash, soccer and snowboarding.

AT H&G, Jess is currently working with the likes of Uber and Uber Eats, Virgin Media O2, The Royal Mint and Buzz Bingo. Jess loves creating exciting work that grabs attention and gets people talking and finds nothing more satisfying than friends and family seeing the results of her work in the wild. Outside work, Jess is learning the ropes as a new dog mum and is on a seemingly never-ending mission to renovate her north London flat.
Having just graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in English Literature, Jessica joined Hope&Glory as an Account Assistant in August 2019.
Jess previously had some experience in marketing, but now wants to channel her creativity and put her writing skills into practice within the dynamic field of PR & Communications. She has avid interests in fashion, beauty, food and drink, and since starting with the agency has already been involved in exciting projects for clients such as FIJI Water, Instagram, Pots&Co, and Uber to name a few.
On a good day, Jess can be found gallery-hopping around London, enjoying some live music or even a life drawing class; but most of the time she’s just lost in a good book or her favourite astrology podcast.
Jessie joined the ranks of Hope&Glory in early 2016 following stints at both House PR and Kazoo Communications. Her varied portfolio includes technology, entertainment and lifestyle brands, featuring everything from Kia Motors to BT. Since becoming a member of the Hope&Glory team, she’s immersed herself in the wonderful world of VR with HTC Vive, got hands-on with Sony’s Sound portfolio and met with many a cosplayer for Final Fantasy XIV.

Jo gets a kick out of making sure our clients are happy and ensuring the team are delivering their very best work. She is generally the voice of reason in the office, and is good at keeping everyone calm under pressure, a skill she attributes to having two very boisterous sons at home.

She has over a decade of experience working on both a global and UK level and currently heads up the teams for brands including Bulb, Sky and Costa Coffee. Her passion is taking brands out of their comfort zones, moving them out of their natural spaces and creating big bang campaigns that resonate with consumers and media alike. When she’s not at the office, Katy can be found on the netball court, climbing the leaderboard on her Peloton bike or planning her next travel adventure (now with a small person in tow).
Born and raised in Toronto, Kate comes from the land of maple syrup and ice hockey. Kate graduated from the University of Toronto with a psychology degree.

After studying Law in her home country, France, and in the Czech Republic for a year, Lisa did her final year of LLM in Business Law in London as an exchange student. What was supposed to be a one-year experience in London never ended as, a year-and-a-half after graduation she is still here and determined to stay after having the chance to join the team at such an exciting agency.

Charlie joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after graduating from the University of Southampton. Since moving from the south coast, he has got stuck into some of the agency’s larger press offices, working across Airbnb, Guinness and Argos alongside Sony Campaigns, Get Living and Time to Change. Whether it’s arranging press trips or clipping coverage, Charlie’s got stuck in wherever he can.
Outside of the office he loves nothing more than tending to his houseplants and watching Norwich City collect 3 points. He also has high hopes of becoming a fully-fledged thumb model after his career debut in a Paddy Power campaign.
Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years. After a brief stint in property development, quickly realising it wasn’t the career for him, Charlie boomeranged straight back to H&G in August 2022. He works across a variety of accounts, Sainsbury’s, Uber, Pokémon and Mars Wrigley. Some of his highlights over his recent time at the agency include a photoshoot in -20°C in Lapland for the launch of Uber Sleigh and working with the legend Ross Kemp for the launch of Snickers’ Match Day Reminders. When he’s not in the office you can usually find him on the golf course, or more specifically the woods on the golf course looking for his golf ball.
Charlie joined Hope&Glory as an intern in February 2023. After studying Journalism at university, Charlie kick started her PR career at Honest Communications in Derby, working on brands such as Wilkinson Sword before making the big move to London.

In the last few months she has been busy making the East Village cheese and wine festival famous with Brie-Once, launched a pink burger for MEATliquor at London Pride and created the ultimate ‘buzzing’ ice cream for the ArcelorMittal Orbit. Charlie is a little bit of a chatter box, her colleagues would definitely say you know when she is about.
Claire joined the Hope&Glory team in the summer of 2019, bringing over a decade’s worth of B2C and B2B experience with her. Since then, Claire has been working across a number of widely recognised brands in the worlds of finance (Barclays) and entertainment (FacebookWatch), while also establishing a name for a number new entrants to the UK health and fitness sector (CLIF Bar and HelloYoga) and helping position LinkedIn as a champion for workplace issues.

A key highlight was bringing back the Milk Tray Man for family favourite Cadbury, while also launching Christmas campaigns for the likes of John Lewis and Sainsbury’s.
When she’s not in the office Claire can be found touring London on a quest to find the best Sunday roast, spinning to work off all the essential ‘taste testing’, or perfecting her darting technique (a new hobby born out of isolation).
Dave originally joined Hope&Glory in September 2013 as employee number ten-ish. After a stint at Taylor Herring he returned in October 2016, bringing with him his incredible knowledge of Mariah Carey and love for celebrity gossip – it was sorely missed!

“Hope&Glory born and bred,” Dom joined as a fresh-faced intern back in January 2013. In her time, she’s worked on a broad range of accounts across retail, travel, family, consumer tech and much more. Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules. Outside of the office, Dom’s a fitness fanatic who can often be found trying to convince everyone in the office to join her at the gym.
Don joined Hope&Glory in October 2012 having previously spent four years working on a number of consumer lifestyle brands at boutique food and travel PR agencies.

At Hope&Glory she works on social strategies and keeps the agency up to date on the crazy world of social media.

She works on clients including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Edrington UK, and Guide Dogs. Outside the office, Ella can be found adding paperbacks to her never-ending TBR list, discovering new food spots around London or cuddled up on the couch with her chubby cat.
After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a History degree in 2019, Ella set off on her gap year travels to Australia and New Zealand, returning just a week before the UK went into lockdown. With previous experience working in a PR agency during a summer placement, she decided to further her knowledge of the wonderful world of PR by studying for the CIPR Professional PR Certificate during the summer of 2020. This lead on to her joining Hope&Glory (virtually) in January 2021, where she is working across an exciting variety of accounts including Sainsbury’s, Barclays, Etsy and WUKA. Outside of the office, you’ll find her trying out new restaurants around London, getting her daily steps in through some questionable dancing, or, more recently, assuring her puppy is comfortable on her lap before settling down with a good book.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in August 2019 after working at the retail specialist agency, Neat PR, and a marketing stint in Shanghai. After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Nottingham last year, Emma also spent some time travelling around Latin America.

Previously, Emma worked in finance for three years at Lansons after graduating from university with a degree in Accounts and Finance. She has since gone on to finish her professional accountancy exams. She is responsible for all the day-to-day financial needs and making sure there are no hiccups along the way. However, it’s not just the numbers and spreadsheets that make her turn up to work each day, she loves the buzz and energy around the office and the unpredictability of what could be coming her way next.
Emma joined the Hope&Glory team in February 2020 after spending the last two and a half years at working in the consumer team at Hotwire where she worked on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts including McAfee, Hilton and ASUS, leading on press office activity and managing a range of media and influencer projects.

Flora originally joined the land of Hope&Glory in June 2013 working across The Royal Mint, O2, Sony and Barclays among others. Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy. Despite its serious effort, politics still just couldn’t compete with the weird and wonderful world of consumer PR and Flora joined the “Hope&Glory Boomerang Club” in May 2017 working on clients including Pokemon and Facebook.
George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023. As a self-proclaimed foodie, Georgia was delighted to be joining the Resy account, as well as working on Argos and Lingo.

Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper.

She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.

After graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2019, he traded the Norfolk broads for pitches and press releases and completed a year-long stint in PR in Manchester before moving to London for two years at Milk & Honey. Since making the move to Hope&Glory, he has kicked off work across LinkedIn, Findmypast, Sainsburys, SEGA and Pokémon.

James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford.

Since his arrival at Hope&Glory, James has activated sports sponsorship opportunities for American Express, Hotels.com and Paddy Power across the worlds of tennis, football and thumb wrestling. His current clients include Guinness, Sony, Hostelworld, O2 and Bethesda.
James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London.

Some of his favourite pieces of work in the last five years includes catapulting the HTC “Phonies” campaign to global fame and dramatically increasing sales, luring 12,000 people to a cheese and wine festival by recreating Beyoncé’s infamous pregnancy announcement – dubbed “Brie-oncé”, and creating DN-Ale, the world’s first beer to based on the DNA of its Brewmaster for Meantime.
James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s.

Jennie joined Hope&Glory in November 2020, after working for the creative agency Taylor Herring, where she worked across various brands such as Samsung, easyJet, Just Eat and Disney. She moved to the UK from Canada in 2019 to finish her postgraduate program in public relations.

AT H&G, Jess is currently working with the likes of Uber and Uber Eats, Virgin Media O2, The Royal Mint and Buzz Bingo. Jess loves creating exciting work that grabs attention and gets people talking and finds nothing more satisfying than friends and family seeing the results of her work in the wild. Outside work, Jess is learning the ropes as a new dog mum and is on a seemingly never-ending mission to renovate her north London flat.
Having just graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in English Literature, Jessica joined Hope&Glory as an Account Assistant in August 2019.
Jess previously had some experience in marketing, but now wants to channel her creativity and put her writing skills into practice within the dynamic field of PR & Communications. She has avid interests in fashion, beauty, food and drink, and since starting with the agency has already been involved in exciting projects for clients such as FIJI Water, Instagram, Pots&Co, and Uber to name a few.
On a good day, Jess can be found gallery-hopping around London, enjoying some live music or even a life drawing class; but most of the time she’s just lost in a good book or her favourite astrology podcast.
Jessie joined the ranks of Hope&Glory in early 2016 following stints at both House PR and Kazoo Communications. Her varied portfolio includes technology, entertainment and lifestyle brands, featuring everything from Kia Motors to BT. Since becoming a member of the Hope&Glory team, she’s immersed herself in the wonderful world of VR with HTC Vive, got hands-on with Sony’s Sound portfolio and met with many a cosplayer for Final Fantasy XIV.

Jo gets a kick out of making sure our clients are happy and ensuring the team are delivering their very best work. She is generally the voice of reason in the office, and is good at keeping everyone calm under pressure, a skill she attributes to having two very boisterous sons at home.

She has over a decade of experience working on both a global and UK level and currently heads up the teams for brands including Bulb, Sky and Costa Coffee. Her passion is taking brands out of their comfort zones, moving them out of their natural spaces and creating big bang campaigns that resonate with consumers and media alike. When she’s not at the office, Katy can be found on the netball court, climbing the leaderboard on her Peloton bike or planning her next travel adventure (now with a small person in tow).

Her favourite piece of work was the multi-awarding winning launch of Sky Arts on Freeview, which saw globally-recognised artist Spencer Tunick create an installation which allowed people to participate in the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football.

Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

“Hope&Glory born and bred,” Dom joined as a fresh-faced intern back in January 2013. In her time, she’s worked on a broad range of accounts across retail, travel, family, consumer tech and much more. Dom is a stalwart of the IKEA press office, making sure news out about the brand is getting out in new and exciting ways, and is particularly proud of the recent ‘Recommended Daily Allowance for Free Time’ campaign for Center Parcs, which ignited national conversation about children’s schedules.

Trying to justify the politics degree, she had a yearlong stint as Head of Communications for the economic think tank, The Adam Smith Institute, getting a crash course in public affairs and economic policy.

George joined Hope&Glory in July 2019 after nearly a decade working across a variety of gaming, tech and sports brands such as Activision, Electronic Arts, PlayStation, Square Enix, HONOR (Huawei), McDonald’s football sponsorship and Under Armour.
At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023.

Hannah joined the Hope&Glory team in 2022 after over five years in operations and office management so she knows a thing or two about how a smooth office should run and the importance of getting the details right. She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper.

She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.

James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford.

James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London.

James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s.

Jennie joined Hope&Glory in November 2020, after working for the creative agency Taylor Herring, where she worked across various brands such as Samsung, easyJet, Just Eat and Disney. She moved to the UK from Canada in 2019 to finish her postgraduate program in public relations.

AT H&G, Jess is currently working with the likes of Uber and Uber Eats, Virgin Media O2, The Royal Mint and Buzz Bingo.

Outside work, Jess is learning the ropes as a new dog mum and is on a seemingly never-ending mission to renovate her north London flat.
Having just graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in English Literature, Jessica joined Hope&Glory as an Account Assistant in August 2019.
Jess previously had some experience in marketing, but now wants to channel her creativity and put her writing skills into practice within the dynamic field of PR & Communications. She has avid interests in fashion, beauty, food and drink, and since starting with the agency has already been involved in exciting projects for clients such as FIJI Water, Instagram, Pots&Co, and Uber to name a few.
On a good day, Jess can be found gallery-hopping around London, enjoying some live music or even a life drawing class; but most of the time she’s just lost in a good book or her favourite astrology podcast.
Jessie joined the ranks of Hope&Glory in early 2016 following stints at both House PR and Kazoo Communications. Her varied portfolio includes technology, entertainment and lifestyle brands, featuring everything from Kia Motors to BT. Since becoming a member of the Hope&Glory team, she’s immersed herself in the wonderful world of VR with HTC Vive, got hands-on with Sony’s Sound portfolio and met with many a cosplayer for Final Fantasy XIV.

She has over a decade of experience working on both a global and UK level and currently heads up the teams for brands including Bulb, Sky and Costa Coffee. Her passion is taking brands out of their comfort zones, moving them out of their natural spaces and creating big bang campaigns that resonate with consumers and media alike. When she’s not at the office, Katy can be found on the netball court, climbing the leaderboard on her Peloton bike or planning her next travel adventure (now with a small person in tow).
Born and raised in Toronto, Kate comes from the land of maple syrup and ice hockey. Kate graduated from the University of Toronto with a psychology degree.

Lily has also recently joined The Royal Mint account in which she has launched a number of coins, her favourite so far being the James Bond coin. Lily loves nothing more than securing brilliant coverage for her clients, and generally has her finger on the pulse, deciding what’s hot and what’s not.
Outside of the office, you can usually find Lily in the gym or sampling her way around London’s latest cocktail bars!

What was supposed to be a one-year experience in London never ended as, a year-and-a-half after graduation she is still here and determined to stay after having the chance to join the team at such an exciting agency.

Not to mention plenty of pop ups and photoshoots involving a furry friend or two with Guinness World Records and Rover.com.
After taking on the world before university on gap year, Mariana started a degree in Politics, International Relations and History at Royal Holloway, University of London (the one that looks like Hogwarts). After having virtually graduated thanks to Covid, she interned at a consumer PR agency, where she decided PR was her perfect career. When her first role role came to an end, Mariana set her sights on the land that is Hope&Glory, and since then has immersed herself into her accounts including Bethesda, O2, Pokémon, and Beam Suntory.

Some of her favourite campaigns include launching the UK’s first Meat-Free Butchers and the UK’s first signing store, ‘Signsbury’s,’ with Sainsbury’s, floating a house down the Thames for Airbnb, and launching the ‘Uber Shoe’ (too fabulous to walk in, it came with £500 credit!).
As well as running a slick, day-to-day press office for her clients, Nicola loves to work on large scale campaigns that build brand warmth and get people talking. And when she’s not doing that, she’s probably eating a biscuit.

Over three years, she has worked on a range of accounts at Hope&Glory, most notably IKEA, Sainsbury’s, American Express, HTC and EBS (Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam bourbon) – so it’s safe to say that her home interiors are always on trend and you’ll frequently find her sipping on old fashioneds. It is fitting then, that building the nation’s smallest pub for Meantime was one of her favourite past campaigns, closely followed by re-creating Kim Kardashian’s most iconic selfies with The G-C herself (Gemma Collins) to launch HTC’s U12+ smartphone.

Her favourite piece of work was the multi-awarding winning launch of Sky Arts on Freeview, which saw globally-recognised artist Spencer Tunick create an installation which allowed people to participate in the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna is often the logical problem solver in the office, which she says is down to having an engineering degree and a North-West upbringing.
Anna started her Hope&Glory journey in July 2021, having spent two years at London-based agency, Freuds, where she worked across the likes of KFC, Evian, Amazon Prime Video and Nike Football.

Charlie first joined Hope&Glory in 2016, where he worked on the likes of adidas, Airbnb, LinkedIn and Guinness World Records for three years.

At Hope&Glory, he leads a diverse portfolio of accounts that includes Bethesda, DeNA, O2 and StubHub.Infamous around the office for his terrible taste in movies (if The Rock stars in it or Michael Bay directed it then it’s pretty much an instant-classic in his eyes!), he’s also a lifelong (and therefore long-suffering) Gooner and massive fan of pro wrasslin’.
Hope&Glory’s resident Imelda Marcos-wannabe, George can often be found shopping for trainers he definitely doesn’t need or have room for…!
After her post-university gap year exploring the wonders of South America, Georgia joined Hope&Glory as an intern in March 2023.

She also dabbles in top class diary management, making sure our work lives are as efficient as possible. Outside work (and evident in this photo), Hannah’s skincare collection really does scream “obsession”, and she spends a lot of her spare time (and money) reviewing products and new launches, as well as being the go-to girl in friendship groups for beauty advice. Her other passion is attempting to grow vegetables at home (this year it’s tender stem broccoli).
Hannah joined Hope&Glory in August 2021, following three years at Hotwire where she worked in the consumer team on a range of consumer tech and lifestyle accounts, including OkCupid, McAfee, ASUS, Vrbo and Casper.

She is excited to carry on her PR journey with Hope&Glory and looks forward to working on more accounts in the future. Outside work, Ignez will either be watching an open-air musical, buried under her pile of TBR books, or – her favourite hobby – watching Formula One with friends.
Jack joined the Hope&Glory team in October 2022. After graduating from the University of East Anglia in 2019, he traded the Norfolk broads for pitches and press releases and completed a year-long stint in PR in Manchester before moving to London for two years at Milk & Honey. Since making the move to Hope&Glory, he has kicked off work across LinkedIn, Findmypast, Sainsburys, SEGA and Pokémon. When he’s not doing that, you’ll find him failing to beat his running PBs, coveting the latest paperback, or completing the latest Pokédex.
Jack is a Creative Director at Hope&Glory. He joined with over a decade’s experience at agencies including Mischief, The Brooklyn Brothers, M&C Saatchi PR and Kaper, creating attention grabbing work for clients ranging from LEGO to Coca-Cola to Jaguar Land Rover. As well as being passionate about all things creative, Jack is a keen advocate of bringing talent from a range of backgrounds into the industry and has been a long-time mentor on schemes such as D&AD Shift. When not in the office, you will likely find him behind the wheel of a car, at the table of a bougie restaurant or “in the studio” (aka his office / man cave) making some “bass heavy beats”.
James joined Hope&Glory in May 2019 following two-year spells at both Frank and Burson-Marsteller where he gained a host of experience ranging from selling-out The Big Feastival and HSBC Rugby Sevens, promoting the Jamaica and Egypt tourist boards, to launching cars for Volvo and Ford. He is most proud of his involvement in the Missing Type campaign for the NHS Blood & Transplant and his environmental efforts for the Lewis Pugh Foundation.
Since his arrival at Hope&Glory, James has activated sports sponsorship opportunities for American Express, Hotels.com and Paddy Power across the worlds of tennis, football and thumb wrestling. His current clients include Guinness, Sony, Hostelworld, O2 and Bethesda.
James studied Journalism at Cardiff University before swiftly making the move to the ‘dark side’ for a PR career in the bright lights of London. He can usually be found with a pint in his hand at pub quizzes, reminiscing about the better times at Old Trafford, or hitting a gaming marathon on his PS4.
James is a co-founder and managing partner at Hope&Glory. He started the agency alongside Jo at the end of 2011, prior to which he was managing partner at Seventy Seven PR (now a part of FleishmanHillard Fishburn). Together, he and Jo have so far managed to build a respectably accomplished team that work on some fantastic clients. Some of his favourite pieces of work in the last five years includes catapulting the HTC “Phonies” campaign to global fame and dramatically increasing sales, luring 12,000 people to a cheese and wine festival by recreating Beyoncé’s infamous pregnancy announcement – dubbed “Brie-oncé”, and creating DN-Ale, the world’s first beer to based on the DNA of its Brewmaster for Meantime.
James started at Hope&Glory in April 2015 after short placements at Citizen Relations and FleishmanHillard. Over the last three years he’s done a cracking Blofeld impression for O2 “Cat Casting”, paid his respects by creating a seven-foot-high portrait of the Queen out of coins, and opened a Game of Thrones bakery with the show’s very own Hot Pie. Currently loving working on Facebook, The Royal Mint, Barclays Retail, Isle of Man, HTC Vive, Nvidia and Uber Eats, he’s looking forward to the coming months in which he’ll no doubt be getting up to more madness across the agency.
Jen joined Hope&Glory back in February 2014 and, throughout her time at the agency, has grown into a key member of the senior team. In those 5+ years, Jen has shone a light (literally!) on Marie Curie nurses and the great work they do with our Garden of Light and Memory Tree campaigns for the charity, enlisted rugby legends Gareth Thomas and Lewis Moody to list their homes on Airbnb for the Rugby World Cup, and visited small shops up and down the country in the name of Small Business Saturday.
Jenni has re-joined the team at Hope&Glory after spending her year in industry at the agency. Now graduated with a degree in Public Relations from Bournemouth University, Jenni is back and has already been involved in some amazing campaigns and now works on the likes of Get Living, Bethesda, The Famous Grouse and Sainsbury’s.

Jennie joined Hope&Glory in November 2020, after working for the creative agency Taylor Herring, where she worked across various brands such as Samsung, easyJet, Just Eat and Disney.

In Toronto, she had the opportunity to work with iconic Canadian companies like Roots and EntertainmentOne. Now she works across a number of Hope&Glory projects ranging from Pokémon to American Express.

On a good day, Jess can be found gallery-hopping around London, enjoying some live music or even a life drawing class; but most of the time she’s just lost in a good book or her favourite astrology podcast.
Jessie joined the ranks of Hope&Glory in early 2016 following stints at both House PR and Kazoo Communications. Her varied portfolio includes technology, entertainment and lifestyle brands, featuring everything from Kia Motors to BT. Since becoming a member of the Hope&Glory team, she’s immersed herself in the wonderful world of VR with HTC Vive, got hands-on with Sony’s Sound portfolio and met with many a cosplayer for Final Fantasy XIV.
