AWARDS 2017
Congratulations to Martyn John who is this
year’s winner in Headlinemoney’s PR rising
star category. Martyn has been managing PR
campaigns, budgets and day-to-day press office
operations since 2013 with a particular focus on
media and influencer relations. He says he enjoys
creating integrated campaigns that mix traditional
PR with social media and content creation to
earn cross-platform coverage.
“Martyn has built an easy-going relationship
with the media and is always swift to answer
queries without being bothersome!” one personal
financial journalist from a leading national
newspaper money section commented at the
nomination stage. “He’s just fab,” added another
online money correspondent.

The Shortlist
Neptune Investment Management’s head of PR, Lucy Forgan, found
just one rival too strong for her in this year’s rising star category, but she
still garnered plenty of support from the journalists who voted for this
award. “Lucy’s a brilliant PR who is informed, efficient and at the top of
her game,” one correspondent noted. “If other fund management firms
need a steer when it comes to recruiting a head of PR they need look
no further than Lucy,” another journalist suggested.
