HMC welcomes Senior Account Manager

PR and communications agency, HMC, has appointed Vicki Jones as Senior Account Manager.

Vicki has over 30 years' experience in the communications and marketing profession, spanning agencies, in-house and contracting roles in New Zealand and in the UK. She's spent 17 years at Verdict Communications in Hamilton, where she became a familiar face to clients across the region.

From 2017, she freelanced for seven years, concentrating on communications contracts, finishing up in-house at Waikato District Council, before her role at HMC.A

Vicki said: "The pace and variety of agency life is strangely addictive.

"So I just had to give Director, Heather, a call. I�d known enough about HMC and her approach to know that the fit would probably be right for me. And with great clients and an impressive and close-knit team, it most certainly is."
