Trevor Young’s Experience

Principal Consultant

parkyoung communication strategists & advisers

(Privately Held; Public Relations and Communications industry)

April 2009 — Present (9 months)

parkyoung provides personalised, tailored strategic communications counsel for decision-makers within large companies, brands and organisations.

The boutique firm is a rare one in the communications consulting business — a seamless blend of strategic nous and creative thinking backed up by strong practical knowledge of proven PR techniques as well as up-to-the-minute ideas and thought leadership focusing on the ever-evolving new media landscape.

Principal partners David Park and Trevor Young work closely together as a team to deliver a potent yin-yang fusion of marketing and corporate communications experience that works from the ‘get-go’.

They slice quickly to the issue and then helicopter above it with a strategy faster than most PR firms can say ‘we must do lunch’!
