When ilk recruited its first Board in 2021, it was a tribute to the longevity and experience of our agency’s team that the three initial seats were filled by long standing ilksters – Richard Hanney, Lauren Greenway and Stewart Williams joined founder and MD Nev Ridley.

Two years later, we’re excited to announce a fresh boost to the board. And unsurprisingly, it’s another recognition of talent from within the team!

Shauna Madden has stepped up to a new role as Social & Paid Director, after joining the agency as PR Manager in 2018. Since then, she has grown the social team from scratch, introduced ilk’s significant paid offering, and been instrumental in winning a raft of new business. She now manages six social and paid specialists.

Her award-winning work has had a huge impact on ilk’s growth over the past few years, and her experience will both strengthen our leadership team and position the business for continued success.

 “I’m thrilled to be joining the Board of Directors at ilk. I’ve learnt so much during my time here, and I’d never have imagined on my first day six years ago when I joined in a PR role, that I’d one day be joining the board from a growing social and paid department! It’s been amazing to lead a department here, and to grow such a brilliant team. I look forward to working closely with the rest of the board, contributing to ilk’s continued growth and success.”
