We’re kicking off 2023 with another meet the team! This month, get to know all about our bookworm and very talented writer – Courtney.
How long have you been at Prohibition? Around 9 months – I started in April 2022!
What do you love most about your job? I love how exciting it is! We always seem to have really great work going on – loads of fun campaigns and exciting projects. Even if I’m not always directly involved in the work, there’s always such a buzz in the team which is really infectious.
Tell us a bit about your journey to working at Prohibition. I graduated during the pandemic (fun!) and fell into some work just to keep me going, but I knew it wasn’t going to be a forever job. When things started to calm down, I started looking at roles I actually wanted to do, that also let me use my degree, and with a company that shared my values. Enter Prohibition!
What’s your top tip for someone looking to get into the PR industry Always be enthusiastic and willing to learn – wanting to get stuck in and having a can-do attitude is really important!
What’s your favourite social media platform and why? Instagram for being nosy, Twitter for laughing, and TikTok for scrolling endlessly and wasting many evenings…
What do you love most about working/living up North? Being from Scotland, this is actually a move down South for me! I do love that it doesn’t ever feel like I’m too far from home though – Northerners have great craic and always know how to make you feel welcome.
What three things could you not live without? Music, crisps and travelling (special shout out to eyeliner, though).
Give us your favourite quote. “Sometimes I’ll start a sentence, and I don’t even know where its going. I just hope I find it along the way.” – Michael Scott
If you could switch places with any celeb for the day – who would it be and why? Probably someone like David Attenborough or Prof. Brian Cox. Hanging out with animals all day or understanding the universe? Tough call.
What’s something you’re secretly (or not so secretly!) really good at/passionate about outside of work? I really enjoy reading and have a ‘Bookstagram’ account on Insta where I write short reviews and generally post bookish things!
