We’re delighted to welcome Polly Martin who joins Elevate PR as an experienced brand PR consultant, specialising in luxury hospitality, lifestyle and interior design. She most recently worked for global travel brand, Belmond, overseeing the PR for their products within EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and before that The Americas portfolio; elevating their hotels and luxury trains internationally through the UK press office and network of PR agencies across the US and Europe. She also handled some of the company’s most prestigious new openings, including, Belmond Cap Juluca, Anguilla and Belmond Andean Explorer, Peru, specifically highlighting the properties’ design credentials.
As well as in-house experience, Polly has worked agency-side for a number of award-winning boutique PR agencies, specialising in travel, property and interior design – launching campaigns and handling media relations for tourist boards based in Tenerife, Lisbon and Macau, famous travel brands, such as Marbella Club and Seabourn cruise line, and London-based interior design firm, Helen Green Design. During this time she built connections with property developers (Grosvenor Estate, Delancey, Cornwall Terrace), aligned with estate agents (Knight Frank, Savills, Hamptons International) and high end design suppliers to maximise coverage opportunities.
She has vast experience of developing creative campaigns, strategic partnerships and boasts access to a ‘little black book’ of media contacts that span luxury travel, interior design and social media influencers in the travel, food and drink and luxury lifestyle space.
She has always loved the natural cross over of hospitality, property and interior design PR and looks forward to bringing her fresh ideas and international connections to the team and clients at Elevate PR.
