Harvard PR hires tech experts to UK management team

Harvard PR has announced the appointment of technology sector experts Lance Concannon and Chris Ewens to key roles within its UK senior management team.

Mr Concannon joins the company as head of digital, having previously occupied a similar role at Text 100, providing digital and social media consultancy for high-profile clients such as IBM, Sony and Vodafone.

Meanwhile, Mr Ewens – formerly of Octopus Group – becomes Harvard's head of campaigns and content, leveraging his experience in working with multinational tech brands including PlayStation, SAP and Cisco.

This comes as part of the company's efforts to improve its digital capability and deliver compelling content for clients in this sector.

Dr Louie St Claire of Harvard PR said: "In these transparent times, we have a fantastic opportunity to help our clients in a way that is good for their businesses and shareholders but also better connects them to their customers and the wider society."

Harvard is part of the Good Relations group, which appointed former London Olympics communications director Jackie Brock-Doyle as its chief executive officer earlier this month.
