CLIA has bolstered its global communications team with two new appointments.
Ross Walker has joined from John Lewis, where he was senior social media manager, to take up the newly-created role of director, global digital and social strategy.
He has also worked for brands including Nike, British Airways, and Deloitte.
Also joining the CLIA communications team is Louise Prior, who becomes director public relations.
Prior, who has worked with the CLIA UK & Ireland team since the start of this year on a consultancy basis, will be overseeing the association’s PR strategy for the UK and across Europe.
She has previously worked with brands including
lastminute.com, Thomson Holidays, STA Travel, and Teletext Holidays.
She has run her own PR consultancy business for the past 11 years.
Both Walker and Prior are based in CLIA’s London office reporting to Megan King, senior vice-president, strategic communications.
"They are top-notch talent in their disciplines who recognise the opportunity of being part of a growing, dynamic industry," she said.
CLIA UK and Ireland is currently recruiting for a PR manager to work in the London office.
