Megann Outram

She has worked on PR programmes for multi-nationals and local blue chip companies across several industries during her 15-year career. She is described as a strategic thinker with good problem-solving skills, who believes strongly in providing clients with service and a good return on PR investments.

"Quantify the strategic role"

MD Nicola Nel, says, "We are delighted with the expansion of both our client base and team in the Gauteng region under Outram's leadership. We are equally proud of our client retention, as many have chosen to stay with us and grow their retainers. We believe this is proof that our measurable approach is allowing clients to quantify the strategic role which PR plays in their businesses."

In October, the Gauteng team launched Motorola's new RAZR smart phone in South Africa, only the sixth country internationally to launch the handset, highlighting the importance of this market to Motorola and indeed to the wider cellular industry. The office also launched the BoxOffice service for DSTV and is assisting it with its talent incubation project in early 2012.

Other key clients signed up by the Gauteng office since Outram joined the business include Europcar, McCain, The Marketing Association of South Africa and a project for Plascon.
