Lewis Robertson becomes the newest member of award-winning Scottish PR agency: Holyrood PR

GET to know our latest new member of our award-winning Scottish PR agency – Lewis, as he shares his background in journalism and why he has chosen to start work in Scottish PR.

1. What is your background?

I was a journalist and an engagement producer before I started at Holyrood PR. I worked in journalism for nearly four years and covered a range of jobs such as Reporter, Engagement Producer and Deputy Digital Editor.

2. What do you like to do in your spare time?

I like to spend my spare time in the gym, listening to audiobooks or watching Arsenal which can either be relaxing or intensely stressful.

3. What three people, dead or alive, would be your dream dinner table

It’s a tough question but my answer will have to be Arsenè Wenger, Marco Pierre White and Liam Gallagher.

Even though I have many interests, my biggest passions have always been football, cooking and music, which is why sitting across some of the biggest legends in these fields will always be something I’d dream of doing.

4. What hobby would you love to get into?

I’d quite like to try and get into martial arts – I’ve tried Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I really enjoyed them. But I never managed to stick to them, so maybe this year I can try and get into them properly.

5. What is one of your favourite memories from the past year?

Going to Knebworth with friends to see Liam Gallagher and experience the best concert I’ve ever been to. The weather was sublime and the music was even better with the likes of Paolo Nutini and Kasabian kicking the day off before Liam took to the stage.

The gig was massive as Oasis previously played there in 96′, so to be there with a few generations of fans who didn’t make it to that gig but got a chance to go to this one in 22′ meant the atmosphere was incredible.

6. What is one thing you like about public relations?

I really like that it’s an industry in which you have the opportunity to work with a lot of people and businesses from different backgrounds as it gives you a chance to have a wider range of knowledge.

As I’m fairly new to the industry and just getting to grips with it all, I’m really excited to see what clients I get to work with in the future and learn more about sectors I previously haven’t explored.

7. What made you want to get into public relations?

I really like long-term projects and public relations provides a chance to work with a wide range of clients with a huge scope of interesting projects. Working in journalism it was always nice if something you wrote helped a business or a person out, so I saw PR as the perfect place to use my skills to help people reach their goals.

8. What skills are you currently working on?

As I’ve just started, I’ve got so many skills I am currently working on – writing for PR is different from journalism, so just looking to nail all the basics very quickly is the first thing on my to do list.

9. Where is your favourite place to be?

Up a hill in my home-town in Strontian in the Highlands – the views are amazing and it’s nice to get back into a proper rural area once in a while.

10. What’s your favourite meal?

Can’t go wrong with fish and chips sat by the seaside with a beer.
