Joining Kaizen from an extensive digital PR background, Kat has already achieved phenomenal link-building and PR results whilst here. Working on clients such as Lastminute.com, TUI, Npower and more, she has created hundreds of top-tier links and built reliable relationships with journalists. Her thoughts on the digital PR industry have been featured in PRMoment and StartupNation, and she regularly contributes to multiple publications.
Kat’s talk, ‘How to Apply the 6 Hats Method to Digital PR’, will centre on how to integrate critical thinking within a digital PR strategy. In the current climate, a digital PR professional has to encompass creativity, technical SEO knowledge, fantastic writing skills, multitasking and, above all, continual self-assessment. Using de Bono’s method, Kat will compartmentalise all the necessary skills and approaches, and discuss the best ways to find a balance.

His talk on building international links follows on from a Digital PR debate following BrightonSEO, and will discuss whether they hold value for a UK brand, as well as how to approach outreach for different destinations, including using social media to build ideas before moving on to the best outreach methods per country.
