Mango bolsters team with addition of three PR directors Emily Brown, Hattie Curl + Isabel Suchy

Mango Communications Aotearoa has bolstered its senior team with three experienced PR practitioners, two from the UK.

In the past month, the integrated communications agency has welcomed: Emily Brown, who returns to the world of consultancy as a senior account director, leading the Samsung, Booking.com and The Warehouse Group teams.  Previously senior public relations executive – global brand and experience at Tourism New Zealand, Brown has spent eight years in agency, most recently at Pead.

Hattie Curl, also a senior account director, joins from Aspectus in the UK where she was associate director and deputy head of tech.  With seven years consultancy experience, Curl has worked on a variety of corporate, tech and B2B clients, and was a key member of the consultancy’s ESG team.

Also from the UK is Isabel Suchy, who joins as an account director, from L’Oréal UK where she was corporate communications manager.  Prior to this, Suchy worked for Portland Communications and has six years corporate PR, social media and crisis management experience.

Managing director Sean Brown says the new recruits add excellent skills to the agency’s PR team: “We love welcoming people, like Hattie and Isy, from the UK because of the breadth of experience they bring working on big campaigns for impressive companies and brands. Emily’s experience at Tourism New Zealand and Pead means she’s an incredibly well rounded communications person with a wealth of experience across consumer-focused businesses.”

Mango has gone from strength to strength this year, with a number of new clients and new projects.
