Fourtold has recruited three new consultants following a period of sustained growth since the start of 2020. These hires come on the back of new business wins across tech, med-tech, and telecoms, and build on the agency’s growing reputation in supporting tech and science companies involved in tackling global issues.

Sophie Goodall arrives as junior consultant to deepen Fourtold’s social media offering. She comes from digital marketing agency Click Intelligence, where she was a content manager responsible for writing and editing a range of copy across their client base.

Tomas Vitas joins the Brussels team as consultant following stints with Amazon’s EU comms team, Invest Europe and Politico. Lydia Welham joins as a graduate consultant. Having graduated from Oxford in 2018, she spent a year working as Sports Federation President delivering the strategy for furthering sport at the university.

Fourtold managing partner, Debbie Parriss, says, “It’s an exciting time for us to bring Sophie, Tomas and Lydia into our international team. Each of them brings specific skills to help us continue to deliver intelligent, impactful communications and engagement campaigns for our clients. Despite the challenges presented by Covid-19, our recent business wins reflect the strength of our collaborative team culture. This has enabled us to pull together and demonstrate the depth of our experience in life sciences, biotech, tech and telecoms, as well as our capabilities across media relations, social and digital.”

In 2018, Fourtold was named the PRCA’s 'Medium Consultancy of the Year' in its annual UK awards. In the same year, it was recognised in the European Association Awards, and was a finalist in the 'Best Agency Outside London' category of the PR Week Awards.
