Aruga Aotearoa has strengthened its digital and public relations offering with the hire of Juno Scott-Kelly as PR & Social Lead. The appointment will see her join Aruga Aotearoa’s leadership team, and take on the responsibilities of directing client services, fostering upcoming PR and digital talent, and working on new business.

Juno returns agency-side in a role that sees her straddle both public relations and digital media, after operating her own digital and PR consultancy. She has previously held roles with Eleven PR across Auckland International Airport, Number One Shoes and Phoenix Organics, and in-house at Fairtrade ANZ as a Digital Marketing Manager.

In addition to her appointment, agency head at Aruga Aotearoa, Georgia Coleman, has been promoted from Country Manager to Managing Partner.

Co-Founder of Aruga, Donna Kramer, said: "With Georgia at the helm, Aruga Aotearoa has gone from strength to strength, lovingly building on Aruga’s brand and reputation while cultivating an agency and team that is passionately and authentically local."

"We’re thrilled to recognise Georgia’s invaluable contribution with a promotion to Managing Partner and excited to welcome the formidable Juno Scott-Kelly to further strengthen the team’s senior capability across PR and social."
