Espresso Communications has today announced that Amanda Conroy has joined the team to manage key client accounts within the agency.

Conroy joins Espresso following an extensive career as a technology journalist working across consumer and business-to-business print and online titles most recently as editorial director of the Consumer Division of IDG Communications.

According to Corrie McLeod, managing director of Espresso Communications, Conroy’s appointment to the team marks the start of an exceptional new chapter for the company.

“Amanda is an absolute pro, and we’re delighted to welcome her to our team. Apart from the obvious skills she brings to the role, it will be her ability to nurture new talent and add an alternative perspective to our processes that will be invaluable.”

Conroy will manage a number of client accounts including eWAY, LogMeIn and Sophos.

“I am delighted to join such a passionate and energetic media relations team in this exciting communications role,” said Conroy. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to be working closely with Corrie, whom I have enjoyed a professional relationship with for many years, as well as contributing to the strong growth of this dynamic company, and fostering its industry relationships.”

In addition to Conroy joining the team, Espresso has also recently appointed Laura Fireman as an account director for the agency’s consumer business and Aaron Percival as account coordinator.

Fireman joins the team from the UK where she worked with a range of brands including MTV UK, Warner Bros. and Virgin Interactive. Aaron Percival has become well known in the interactive media circles for his work on Grow Up Australia, a community of almost 40,000 gamers dedicated to providing a cohesive argument to government in relation to classification debate on behalf of gamers.

“We’ve been busy building a diverse team of professionals that will be pivotal in the next stage of our growth. It’s an exciting time and we’re very focused on maintaining the quality of our services while at the same time stretching our wings,” said McLeod.
