Ruth joined the company in 2017 and, with integrated agency and in-house experience, brought with her processes and procedures to whip the agency into shape and go from snappy start-up to well-oiled comms machine.

She’s also our HR lead.

All those management responsibilities are extra strings to her baton. Yet first and foremost, Ruth’s a PR whizz, with more than 10 years’ PR and communications experience across the public, private and third sectors.  A member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), she has managed teams across PR, marcomms and digital.

Ruth’s an expert when it comes to reputation, crisis management and media relations, having honed her skills working with a huge range of clients, as well as comms roles in the NHS, De Montfort University and international NGOs. She may be called Follows, but Ruth’s a leader all the way – passionate about keeping team spirits high and driving Story forward as we create top-notch communications strategies.

With impeccable music taste and a love for Scandi crime dramas, Ruth is Story’s culture vulture – but if you are worried she’s too cool for school, just get her chatting about trash TV…
