The agency has also promoted three members of its existing team. Jo Shelbourne, who works on the agency's digital team has been promoted from Digital Marketing Executive to Senior Digital Marketing Executive. David McMonnies, from the agency's Liverpool consumer team, and Jonathan Daly from Influential's Manchester B2B team, have both been promoted from senior account executives to account managers, following outstanding performance. Managing director of Influential, Sara Wilde-McKeown, said: "Influential continues to go from strength to strength, and these recent promotions and new hires are a clear reflection of that success. "We're very pleased to welcome Linda, James, Josh and Charley to the team. The blend of experience, expertise and insight that they bring to the business will strengthen our existing teams and enable us to continue to provide creative, original and effective ways of telling our client's stories - ensuring that their messages meet and connect with their target audiences. "Linda is a highly-experienced PR professional with a great background in delivering high-impact consumer PR campaigns for global brands that will complement the skill set of our existing team. It's also fantastic to have Josh, James and Charley starting their careers with us. They are an ambitious, intelligent and talented trio and we look forward to seeing them grow and develop with us. "Account Managers play a key role in agency life and we're delighted to be promoting Jonathan and David. David started his career with us as a junior account executive, while Jonathan joined us more recently, but during their time with Influential, they have both developed into adept account handlers, who make an excellent contribution to the agency. Jo is a valued member of our integrated digital team and in a relatively short time at Influential has managed to make a really positive impact and deliver some outstanding results for our clients." Influential is headquartered in Liverpool with offices in Manchester and London, and is one of the North West's leading independent agencies. The company is experiencing sustained growth and is developing and growing its team across PR, marketing and digital, following a number of key client wins.
