Rise at Seven has appointed Will Hobson as VP of PR of Rise at Seven US to lead the next phase of growth in the United States.
Hobson previously held the title as PR director of Rise at Seven UK and sits on the senior leadership team within the agency after founding the London arm and scaling it to 25 people in 2 years. He now takes on New York as VP of PR, based in the Manhattan office.
The search-first creative agency, founded by Carrie Rose, has four offices globally in Sheffield, Manchester, London and New York, with the American arm of the business already reporting revenues of $1.5m in the US market since launch 18 months ago.
Hobson said that he’s always dreamed of living in the States. He added: “I am honoured to be given the opportunity to lead Rise at Seven US to success in the states, the market opportunity is huge for us and we’ve been welcomed with open arms with our innovative approach to SEO, creativity and content marketing.
“We’ve already won five exciting brands in the ecommerce, travel, automotive, fashion and tech space. This really does make the start of a new adventure for Rise at Seven, one I am very excited to be part of.”
Rose said: “Will opened and grew our London office as well as our PR function to be the most award-winning team in the UK. Having him lead our US PR and creative services to success in the states is an exciting time for us. We have big ambitions over the next three years in New York and further plans to expand our US team.”
