First act

Early stints across London and Melbourne, taught Alex the mechanics of PR from the ground up — diaries, deadlines and press lists — and that a great story depends on curiosity, context, and knowing the right people. Along with stamina, good judgement and the ability to keep several plates spinning at once.

The road to Spotlight

After cutting her teeth across travel, lifestyle, airlines, fashion and consumer brands — both agency-side and in-house — Alexandra rejoined Spotlight for her second stint in 2019. Since then, she has steadily built its media function into a global operation. Today, she oversees editorial strategy and international media relations for the agency’s most influential clients, shaping campaigns that land with editors.
