William Hill PR director Kate Miller departs
Miller leaves her post at the UK operator to join PR firm Golin as its new head of media
William Hill’s PR director Kate Miller has left to join public relations and communications firm Golin after more than seven years working at the UK operator.
Miller, the daughter of a former Ascot bookmaker, originally joined the London-headquartered company in 2008 as a PR executive from bookmaker Blue Square where she held the same role for nearly four years.
In August 2010 she was appointed William Hill’s head of racing media, a role she held for two years, before becoming PR director in June 2012 covering consumer, trade and corporate communications.
Miller is set to leave the firm the weekend of the Grand National in April and told eGaming Review today she was looking forward to her new role.
“My time at William Hill has been both dynamic and colourful and an incredible learning curve – which is why I stayed so long,” she said.
“Golin offered an amazing opportunity as head of media,” she added. “They boast a hugely talented team, with brilliant clients [so] it was the perfect opportunity for me. ”
She will join PR firm Golin, of which William Hill is a client, in May as its newly created head of media and will report to the company’s UK managing director Bibi Hilton.
Golin, which was first established in 1956, has worked on creative campaigns with a number of high-profile companies including McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Dove and Toyota Motor.
Miller’s exit from William Hill comes after the operator’s head of public relations Jem Maidment left the firm last October.
