Kate Hartley’s Summary

15 years in the PR industry, directing and implementing programmes across a wide range of business-to-business, technology, corporate and consumer companies. I'm particularly interested in the development of conversations and customer engagement over social media and digital channels.

Campaigns include the acquisitions of KPMG Consulting and then SchlumbergerSema by Atos Origin; the rebrand of Overture from GoTo before its buy-out by Yahoo! for $1.6 bn; Kaspersky Lab’s ‘crimeware’ campaign, resulting in Carrot being listed as a finalist in the CNET Technology awards for best PR campaign; promotion of Atos Origin’s involvement in the Olympic Games, arguably the most visible event in the world; launching BlackSpider Technologies into the UK market; the European launch of the fastest-growing web analytics company in the world, Omniture; and the current launch of a new mobile banking service, MoBank.
