Founder

Mark Stringer

Mark founded PrettyGreen 4th July 2008 as a way of fulfilling his entrepreneurial dream of helping create and own new brands and after being convinced by one particular Client that it would give him wiings (as well as realising that he wasn’t quite ready to retire). With over 20 years of Client and Agency experience, an integrated thinker, who’s not bad at coming up with an idea or two. As well as setting up PrettyGreen, he was an non-Exec for over 6 years of BritDoc, is often a judge for PRCA, PR Week and MAA Awards and sits on the PRCA Council. He is also a co-founder and Director of La Maison Fontaine (an Ultra Premium Absinthe range), where the Blanche is the now the most awarded Blanche absinthe in the world.

Emma Grace

Managing Director, Creative & Planning

Emma Grace

Emma has been at PrettyGreen since the company was born and now helps rule the roost alongside Jessica Hargreaves in her role as Joint Managing Director. Having worked in PR for over 14 years, Emma has planned and implemented a vast array of communications Campaigns for a variety of leading FMCG, lifestyle and entertainment Brands. Her mantra is that even the seemingly dull can fuel a conversation if the idea is brilliant enough (no brand snobbery here!). Career highlights include far too many to mention, career low points however include pretending to be a cleaner (complete with tabard & marigolds) for a Client as part of an Evening Standard case study…a full page no less, anything in the name of coverage!

Tim Beer

Finance Director

Tim Beer

With over 20 years experience working in various Finance capacities for London ad agencies, Tim brings a wealth of knowledge to this vibrant growing company. His IT skills should keep the company network running smoothly and his unhealthy interest in the UK tax system is causing some raised eyebrows. Tim has a very keen interest in cricket (playing, organising and watching), football, golf, skiing and cycling. He can often be seen charging over the Surrey Downs on his Roubaix, and still competes in a 5-a-side football league against lads half his age!

He eventually landed at PrettyGreen and hit the ground running, helping out the team over a spectrum of briefs and clients. When not staring aimlessly at his giant computer screen he can be found in his homeland of Essex, or listening to some live music somewhere in London. Dan loves to spend time hanging out with his girlfriend or best mates, finding new and exciting places to eat, drink, or be merry. If he was any more laid-back, he’d be lying down.

Jess Bond

Account Manager

Jess Bond

After graduating the University of Chester with a BA combined Hons in Event Management and Digital Photography Jess (Bondy) took the plunge and decided to become a commuter. Despite not a being a lover of the overcrowded trains from Hertfordshire to London she came to the conclusion that the exciting, creative and fast-paced world of events was worth the sweaty armpits and bad breath encounters she faced most days on the train.  
After 2 years working in an agency with some great clients including, Adidas, Nike, Tinder, Saatchi & Saatchi and DJ's Disclosure, with whom she spent time with in Ibiza producing their Wildlife residency at DC-10. She finally found PrettyGreen for a new challenge in her career. When she isn't commuting you can find Jess "Keeping up with the Kardashians", playing netball, enjoying some good grub and trying not to trip over her own feet (she's incredibly clumsy for a netball player).

Mike Flatley

Finance Manager

Mike Flatley

Mike came to PrettyGreen to help out for a few days in the summer of 2012. Two years later and he’s still here. Mainly because it’s a good deal more interesting than insurance and he’s also still chasing folks to complete their time sheets. He can’t get enough of financial reporting and has a love/hate relationship with Excel.
When not dealing with numbers, he enjoys photography, watching rugby league and wheat beers (drinking, not watching). And when he can escape to the hills, Mike loves mountain biking and hill-walking.

Finance Assistant

Natasha Kaeda

Natasha started out at PrettyGreen with a week of ‘I’m just helping out with the filing’. Months later she’s still here a couple of days a week to guard the petty cash tin and make sure everyone gets their expenses in on-time(ish). When not working on her love/hate relationship with Excel, Natasha is a playwright, currently writing a play about deep space and black holes with The Soho Theatre.

 

Either way, to get away from the computer screen she can be found pounding the streets or cycling to the nearest view point so she can wave around her beloved cameras that she likes to pretend to know how to use.

Nicola Hunter

Creative Producer

Nicola Hunter

Having graduated university with a degree in art, Nicola tried her hand at a few career paths before finding her way to PrettyGreen and the world of Studio management. Joining in 2014 she started on Front of House, however having proved it was too dangerous to have her near a phone she was welcomed in to the open arms of the PrettyGreen Studio where she can’t cause as much damage…surely? As Studio Manager Nic is your go to for all things production coming out of the Studio, from media mailers to film production she will find the right solution to make it happen. 
Terrible at sports, unless it’s an Adam Sandler movie marathon (which deserves a medal) she’s very good at rum drinking and irrational clothes purchasing and is happiest when spending time with her dog Biggie.

Account Director

Rob Leary

Prior to joining PrettyGreen Rob managed to get himself a History degree at Goldsmiths University, but rather than being a historian opted for a career in PR. After 9 months of work experience at a nameless Agency (who didn’t pay him), Rob landed his first full PR role at House PR, where he stayed for nearly 3 years working on entertainment, lifestyle and drinks brands (Amazon Prime, Empire Cinemas, Warner Brothers, Discovery Channel, Peugeot, Doctor Who, Sailor Jerry) In his spare time Rob likes to watch and play (a lot of) football, playing for Oldsmiths AFC, and 5 aside with his mates. Rob’s a big Liverpool fan and when he’s not playing or watching football he’s making music - he plays the guitar, drums and piano. Although currently not in a band, Rob was in a number of bands since the age of 14 and has toured Japan, Europe and played all over the UK - Claim to Fame, he had a track played by Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1 when he was just 15.

Roberto Sorrentino

Senior Account Executive

Roberto Sorrentino

After four years studying Geography at the University of Birmingham, Roberto concluded that the high-paced event industry was “a bit of him” and so he set his sights on a career in it. During his time in Brum, he spent a year working full-time as Vice President of Housing and Community at his student union (fancy!) where he put on some stellar events. Highlights included bringing the first ever Christmas Fair on campus and organising Lethal Bizzle to perform at the annual Winter Ball #POW. Being part Italian, Roberto has naturally competed in the north London Italian Olympics and received multiple “taking-part” medals much to the disbelief of the wider PrettyGreen team.  He is a lover of sports and music – but he has a special place in his heart for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tania Burnham

After graduating from the University of Leeds with a degree in all things historical, Tania went bright-eyed and bushy tailed into the world of music PR until the stark realisation that guest list and free festival tickets don’t, in fact, pay the bills. Following various travelling expeditions and a number of years working various comms roles in the education and environmental sectors, she is finally at home in the world of PrettyGreen working on all things PERi-PERi and video games for Nando’s and Nintendo. Outside of PG life (and depending on the time of day), you’ll either find her with her head in a book, walking her dogs, or out on the mucky London tiles at some kind of ridiculous themed extravaganza - Spice Bus in drag, anyone!?
