South Africa, Sept. 9 -- Kylie Naude has been promoted to senior PR account manager, while Roche Fester moves into the role of junior account executive. Fester joined HLS a year ago as a PR intern through the agency's long-standing relationship with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT).

Naude's promotion recognises her consistent delivery across some of HLS's most high-profile accounts, her mentorship of the wider team and her ability to build strong client relationships. In her new role, she takes on greater ownership across HLS's business and consumer portfolios, overseeing PR strategy and integrated campaign execution for clients including Cisco, JobJack, Montego Pet Nutrition and Top Employers Institute.
