Alex has worked on campaigns for some of the largest and best-known tourism boards and hotel names, from The Spanish Tourist Office to Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Specialising in destination travel communications, Alex has secured coverage for tourism boards across top-tier publications such as The Telegraph, National Geographic, BBC, with stories that goes behind the curtain of the destination and show the many different facets of the city or country.
Alex is responsible for creating and implementing successful communication strategies that deliver great results. She leads on idea development for pitching topics and stories for her clients that go beyond just news announcements, looking at data alternatives, content rich stories that show a different side of the client and profiling and interviews – having secured interviews for clients in publications including BBC News, Sky News, and BBC Radio Four.
She has also organised over 250 press trips for clients over the years, for both press and content creators. This experience helps her successfully secure quality press trips for clients each year and allows her to advise and work alongside clients to tailor itineraries that will result in the best possible coverage.
Outside of work, Alex is usually reading through the pages of Lonely Planet travel guides planning detailed itineraries for future travels (she is looking forward to being able to tick off some big destinations such as Canada and Japan off her bucket list soon). When she is not travelling, she is either on her guitar, on a dog walk in the Oxfordshire countryside or having a board game day.
