Renegade Bolsters Growing Digital Team With Search Expertise
Search specialist, Lee Porte, joins Renegade
PR, search and social media agency, Renegade Media, has expanded its specialist digital team to meet client demand for integrated PR and digital services across its broadening customer portfolio.
The Gloucestershire-based agency welcomes Lee Porte as a search executive. Porte joins Renegade after two years working for public sector business service, GWE Business West, as a marketing executive, which saw him turn his hand to a variety of digital disciplines, including search engine optimisation, search marketing, and website development. Key projects he has worked on include developing the social media strategy for UK Trade and Investment and providing strategic, design and digital advice for the Bristol 2050 project’s website.
Prior to this, Porte worked as a creative and technical supervisor for lighting design consultancy, The Lighting Warehouse, where he was responsible for graphic design and advertising strategy.
Mark Terry-Lush, founder and ceo, Renegade Media, said: “Lee’s specialist digital expertise makes him a key hire to the growing team. The knowledge he brings complements the PR and social media marketing skills that we already have in-house, enabling us to deliver a more integrated approach to PR on and offline.”
A keen photographer and graduate of the Falmouth College of Arts, Porte has a strong interest in interactive art. He is also studying for a CIM Professional Certificate in Marketing.
Renegade Media was established in 2001, and now has a team of nine in-house specialists offering consumer and B2B PR, social media and search (paid and natural) services to a range of local, national, and international businesses. The agency’s recent work includes video seeding, online PR, social media for brands including MINI, Courvoisier, and Under Armour and international PR for marketing services businesses – including creative agencies, Amsterdam Worldwide, Creature in USA, China and US-based DMG, and Sweden’s Perfect Fools, plus the Internet Advertising Bureau UK, and Epsilon International.
