PR agency Moja, based in Newcastle, has appointed a trio of new recruits to its team; Aoife Forbes, Ava Hartington and Lottie Steele have all joined the start-up this month.
They have been recruited to raise the profile of clients, get them known within their industries and further develop Moja’s business growth.
Founded by Sophie Milliken MBE in 2022, Moja works with entrepreneurs and senior executives to promote them through press and media, awards, networking, podcasts, speaking opportunities, online visibility and book publications.
Aoife Forbes has joined as PR Manager and has an extensive background in both in-house and agency roles. She will be developing PR strategies for Moja’s ever-expanding client list and informing the future of Moja’s own business growth.
Ava Hartington has been appointed as Account Manager. Ava is a graduate of Newcastle University where she studied Journalism, Media and Culture and has a background in marketing and agency experience. She is looking forward to getting to know clients and using her writing skills to elevate their profiles.
Lottie Steele has joined Moja as Podcast and Marketing Executive. Lottie studied Media and Journalism at Northumbria University and has a Masters in Radio, Audio and Podcast Production from the University of Sunderland. Lottie is an award-winning audio producer and is passionate about helping others tell their unique stories.
Moja CEO Sophie Milliken MBE said, “We are absolutely delighted to welcome our hat-trick of new starters. They have all jumped straight into their new roles with huge enthusiasm and skill – I am confident they will help our clients achieve superb visibility, boost their profiles and identify new and exciting opportunities for them all.
“We have ambitious growth plans for Moja and the standard of services we can provide our clients. These appointments are an integral part of these objectives and I really look forward to working with them all”.
These appointments come days after Sophie Milliken was been presented with her MBE by Anne, Princess Royal, at an investiture in Windsor. The award-winning North East entrepreneur was recognised for her services to business and education.
