Emma Woodridge - PR & Marketing Executive

Emma initially joined Eventageous PR in 2004, on a temporary basis having returned from living in the Middle East. On her first week she was immediately involved in a PR campaign with Johnny Rotten and hasn’t looked back! Since becoming a full time member of the team, she has worked on a variety of exciting campaigns and events.

It’s difficult to pin point the most enjoyable campaigns she has worked on, but being passionate about football, she thoroughly enjoyed the launches of John Gorman’s Autobiography, Down Memory Lane by Harry Harris and Footynotes, giving her the chance to meet and photograph some of her Football heroes including Glenn Hoddle, Harry Rednapp, Alan Pardew, Ray Clemence, Ossie Ardiles and Chris Kamara to name just a few. One of her favourite campaigns that she managed was Mel Sterland Autobiography (Green Umbrella), which was very successful, receiving coverage in several national newspapers and making appearances on a number of TV programs.

Emma has a keen interest in most sports and has a particular love of football. She has been an avid West Ham supporter for many years and sits opposite an Arsenal fan at work, which makes life interesting. She has also followed Formula 1 all over Europe; she most enjoyed the Monaco Grand Prix back in the days of Nigel Mansell.

Emma’s other love is photography which initially started as a hobby capturing interesting moments at Formula 1 Grands Prix. She now can be seen on the touchline most Saturdays covering regional football tournaments as club photographer. This hobby now crosses over in to her daytime job; she also acts as an in-house photographer at Eventageous PR for client/product launches. Emma gets a buzz from seeing her pictures in news releases sent to the biggest news agencies in the world.

 

Bianca Knight - PR & Marketing Assistant

Bianca joined the Eventageous team in October 2007 as a temp, but has stayed put ever since! With a particular interest in English language and media studies, she fulfilled her ambition of working in public relations and marketing by securing a job as a Publicity Assistant.

She has since worked on a wide variety of campaigns and events, ranging from the Kemble Steam Extravaganza and Military show, the GWR Steam Rally, to The Silverline Power Tool Drag Racing. Although Bianca’s forte is promoting the outdoor shows, she also looks after our overseas client, MBI Publishing promoting the American automotive and lifestyle titles within the UK.

One of the most enjoyable campaigns that Bianca has worked on was promoting ex Manchester City player and now West Bromwich Albion Football Coach, Joe Corrigan’s autobiography (Fort Publishing). However, her most recent claim to fame was working with the legendary snooker players, Jimmy White and Alan McManus on their new coaching DVD (Odeon Entertainment). Both campaigns proved successful with numerous national newspaper, TV and radio interviews.

Day to day, Bianca supports the team within the agency, from media pitching and securing interviews to organising signing sessions, appearances and assisting at launches.

Outside of work, Bianca enjoys the odd city break and loves to snowboard. As a born thrill seeker, she never turns down the opportunity to participate in any high speed activity or sport.
