Where are they now? (part one…)

Last week we heard from our current crop of account executives about working in PR, and of course, working at Orchard. We promised to bring you news of some Orchard apples that have moved on in their PR careers, having been lured away to other parts of the UK and indeed the world. Today we have guest blogs from Martyn and Emily, now forging PR careers in Nottingham and London respectively.


Orchard is still recruiting for an account executive, so if a career in PR sounds like the thing for you, please get in touch.

Want to work in PR?

You might have already heard – Orchard is hiring…


We have a vacancy for an account executive, often the first step onto the PR ladder for many people. It’s a position that comes with fantastic opportunities for learning and experiencing new things and developing skills and meeting very useful people. So, rather than writing out another job ad, we thought who better to tell you why you want to be a PR account executive at Orchard than our awesomely talented team themselves. So we asked them a few questions to see what they think.


What is the best thing about working in PR?


Chloe: Seeing coverage you have achieved for your clients. It sounds nerdy but you get a real buzz from opening a newspaper and seeing your story.


Cat:  No two days are ever the same because quite often you are reacting to stories reported by the media and participating in issues management. It is also a great chance to develop relationships with clients, journalists and photographers and sometimes you even get the chance to meet a celebrity!

PR is full of surprises

Today we have a guest blogger: Jacob Cherry, a student from Durham University, who has spent the last week at Orchard HQ on a work experience placement – we asked him to blog about his first experiences of life in PR…


My week at Orchard PR surprised me. I was expecting five days in an office, sat at a desk, staring at a computer screen. In fact, I spent comparatively little time at my desk because of the very hands-on approach to PR adopted by Orchard’s staff; they are constantly liaising with the media and orchestrating effective public relations opportunities for their clients. I have gotten through a record amount of petrol this week!

Back to School

After four long years away I went back to school last week but this time not as a student. I had been asked to speak to year 13 students at the Guernsey Grammar School & Sixth Form Centre so I could share pearls of wisdom about working in the local media industry.


In the days before giving the talk I had re-traced my journey over the last couple of years which included completing a degree in media studies at the University of Portsmouth, work experience placements at BBC Guernsey, Channel Television and student radio station Pure FM, and a stint working as a broadcast journalist at Island FM before landing a job at Orchard PR as an account executive earlier this year.


But, it was as I stood before the students in the lecture theatre that I suddenly remembered just how lost I had felt four years earlier sitting in exactly the same spot. At the time it seemed that getting a job in the media industry would be impossible, but I know now, from my own personal experience that it is not and that Guernsey has a thriving media industry, particularly PR, with plenty of opportunities for willing and enthusiastic candidates.
