Winner Martyn John, Gocompare.com

Congratulations to Martyn John who is this year’s winner in Headlinemoney’s PR rising star category. Martyn has been managing PR campaigns, budgets and day-to-day press office operations since 2013 with a particular focus on media and influencer relations. He says he enjoys creating integrated campaigns that mix traditional PR with social media and content creation to earn cross-platform coverage. “Martyn has built an easy-going relationship with the media and is always swift to answer queries without being bothersome!” one personal financial journalist from a leading national newspaper money section commented at the nomination stage. “He’s just fab,” added another online money correspondent.

Highly Commended Lucy Forgan, Neptune Investment Management Neptune Investment Management’s head of PR, Lucy Forgan, found just one rival too strong for her in this year’s rising star category, but she still garnered plenty of support from the journalists who voted for this award. “Lucy’s a brilliant PR who is informed, efficient and at the top of her game,” one correspondent noted. “If other fund management firms need a steer when it comes to recruiting a head of PR they need look no further than Lucy,” another journalist suggested.
