TEAM NEWS - Welcome Seán, Charlotte & Isa
Charly PR, the Benelux agency for integrated corporate and consumer communication, has strengthened itself by adding Seán Holderbusch to the team. Seán started his internship six months ago, as a part of their Graduate Program, and has now been hired full-time as a Junior PR Consultant. In the meantime, his spot as an intern has already been filled in by Charlotte Meyskens. In the Netherlands, Charly PR is also bringing Isa van Wieringen on board as a Junior Consultant.
Seán graduated last summer from the Artevelde University of Applied Sciences in Ghent. Looking for his first professional challenge, he ended up at Charly PR in Brussels. Like many before him, that story started within the successful Graduate Program of the PR agency. "You face a lot of challenges during your first major work experience in the PR world, but all went smoothly thanks to the guidance of my new colleagues. I’ve learned a lot from them these past six months, working on various clients such as Wise, Energie.be, GoPro, Action and Speedcomfort. Thanks to the Graduate Program, I can now continue to grow those skills as a Junior PR Consultant.
Breeding ground for talent
"Our Graduate Program shows its value once more," adds Karolien Hessels, Managing Director at Charly PR. "Yet again, it has given young and enthusiastic talents the opportunity to develop quickly and to show what they have to offer. And Seán has done both with vigor, resulting in his recruitment. Today, we have both a Junior, Medior and Senior Consultant in our team who at one point joined through this program – something we are extremely proud of as an agency. And now, with Charlotte, yet another graduate is eager to prove herself."
Charlotte regarding her start:"The Graduate Program offers me the ideal opportunity to take my first steps in the PR world. My colleagues have already been a huge help in further developing my talents and gain more insight into the field. Now I can follow my passion for communication on impressive clients such as Hoka, Huttopia and Dubai Tourism."
Welcome to Isa in the Netherlands!
The Charly PR team in Utrecht has also been strengthened, with Isa van Wieringen as Junior Consultant. She recently completed her bachelor's degree in Communication and gained her first experienced as a Publicity Intern at Universal International Pictures. That’s where she learned to draft press releases, maintain media relations, set up influencer collaborations and organise events."I learned how dynamic the PR field is - no day is the same," says Isa. "That really appealed to me and now at Charly PR it's no different. I look forward to working for great clients such as Maria Galland, Inventum, Huttopia, HOKA and Intersnack."
"Happy to welcome Isa to our team”, adds Mark van Tol, Maganing Director for the Netherlands. “She brings with her great experience from her internship at Universal Studios where she worked on the influencer team. It's great to see the team growing as we continue to build strong relationships with our clients.”
