Vicky Taylor

Vicky TaylorVicky has almost 10 years PR experience and has dealt with everything from defending accounting practices in the wake of the Enron scandal to promoting economic reports to lobbying for changes to EU laws on food labelling.

A specialist in issues-led PR, Vicky cut her teeth working with business and education schemes in Liverpool before moving to London to work in the press office at accountants and business advisers, Grant Thornton LLP. She learned a lot about the power of spin working in the press office of Lloyds TSB and then “swapped sides” to head up the campaigning PR work for consumer champion, Which?. At Which?, amongst many other issues, she took the banking industry to task on unlawful overdraft charges and challenged the junk food industry to stop marketing so agressively to children.

After spending all of 2008 and some of 2009 travelling and volunteering in Latin America and Southeast Asia, Vicky is now a freelance PR consultant. As a freelancer, she has worked at top PR agency, Blue Rubicon, and is currently with new consumer finance website lovemoney.com.
