DTW promotes two members of the PR team

North east public relations and marketing agency DTW has promoted two members of its PR team.

Peter Whelan Junior has been promoted to Board Director and Karen Westcott has been promoted to Account Director. A former journalist, she joined the full-service agency in February 2009 after 21 years in the newspaper industry.

DTW, based in Guisborough in the Tees Valley, was established 22 years ago and has continued to grow and is now regularly recognised by PR Week as one of the leading public sector agencies in the country.

However, it has also expanded its breadth of expertise and this year was included in PR Week’s list of the Top 50 Digital Agencies in the UK. It was the only north east-based company to be named in the list, which takes into account fee income for digital-based projects, including web development, digital content and social media.

Managing Director Chris Taylor said: “We are delighted to see both Peter and Karen taking on senior roles within the PR team at DTW. They both bring important, yet different, strengths to the company, so their promotions are very much deserved and welcomed. We wish them continued success with the company.”
