Flaherty is the founding director at BrandContent, a Cardiff-based agency, and her previous positions include a journalism role at the Financial Times, followed by marketing roles at organisations such as Confused.com and Moneysupermarket.com.

Flaherty said: “I am excited to bring expertise in content marketing and digital communications to the new Wales PRCA Group, supporting members in engaging their audiences and innovating with their communications by putting content and purpose at the heart.”
