Hussain named associate director at Weber Shandwick
Harry Hussain, media relations manager at Lloyds Banking Group, has joined Weber Shandwick as an associate director.
Hussain joins, having predominantly managed the issues relating to the HBO’S acquisition by Lloyds TSB and the financial crisis.
He will be based in the Edinburgh office of the consultancy and will work with clients across Scotland and the UK, mainly in corporate and B2B sectors, while also contributing to new business development.
“An increasing number of businesses are looking to PR once more as a primary means of communicating to their target audiences. I aim to use my experience to expand our client base in Scotland’s corporate sector and offer our existing clients a different perspective on their campaigns,” said Hussain.
Lesley Clark, deputy managing director of Weber Shandwick in Scotland said: “Harry is a key appointment for Weber Shandwick. He rightly commands enormous respect across the industry and his sector knowledge and contacts will prove a significant asset to our clients and our business.”
