Hill & Knowlton appoints Tim McPhail to head public affairs; Cook confirmed as MD
PR agency Hill & Knowlton has promoted senior advisor Tim McPhail to lead its public affairs division while Sue Cook has been confirmed as managing director.
McPhail, who joined Hill and Knowlton in late 2010, will report directly to Cook who became acting MD after Marcus Warner departed in March after only eight months in the top job. Cook was confirmed in the role at the beginning of May.
Warner joined the agency in June 2010 after CEO Michelle Hutton moved to rival Edelman.
Derryn Webster has also been promoted to senior associate director, public affairs.
