Press Association’s Sophie Lister returns to Hudson Sandler

Sophie Lister has rejoined Hudson Sandler’s brand and corporate team as a client director following a stint in-house with the PA, where she ran its internal and external comms function.

Lister joined the PA in February 2015 as comms manager from Hudson Sandler.

She said: “I’m really delighted to have returned the team here at Hudson Sandler. The culture, client list and pace of innovation and growth is really exciting to be part of. I missed it.”

Lister initially joined Hudson Sandler in 2012 and was the agency’s first hire to its brand and corporate team.

Kirsty Leighton, Hudson Sandler’s MD, added: “Sophie is a great strategic senior hire and I am delighted she has caved into my badgering!”

“Sophie’s expertise across internal communications and customer engagement, along with her deep understanding of storytelling and campaign planning will enable her to make a valuable contribution as we support our clients in a rapidly changing comms environment.”
