Morrison Media Strategies has announced the appointment of former Business Insider deputy editor Philip Gates as an account director.
Gates is joined at the Glasgow-based PR and communications agency by junior account executive Hannah Baird.
Gates has more than 25 years of media experience and helped launch insider.co.uk in 2017. He was also on the launch team of the Sunday Herald in 1999, assistant production editor of The Herald, assistant chief sub-editor of the Scottish Sun and Home Page Editor on thescottishsun.co.uk.

John Morrison, owner of Morrison Media Strategies, said: “Philip and Hannah’s appointments show not only our commitment to our existing clients but also our ambitions to organically grow our business, without losing sight of what makes us the firm we are – experts who will work with businesses and organisations to tell their stories and develop, build and protect their brands.”
