Richard Millar is a senior consumer marketing practitioner that has crossed from agency to in-house and back again. He shares his views on the role of PR in change and internal communications, both for clients and at Hill & Knowlton as it moves to a new sector based model.
Prior to taking the UK CEO role at Hill & Knowlton, Richard was the Consumer Marketing UK Practice Head and leader of the agency's retail practice with clients including B&Q and Sainsbury's.
