A CHESTER student is counting her lucky stars after she got a career boost through social networking site Twitter.
Lily Tucker, who recently graduated from the University of Chester, attracted the attention of Cheshire-based firm Freer PR after using the hashtag “#OperationHireLily”.
Within minutes of her first tweet she had received many retweets and several leads, one of which detailed a possible vacancy at Freer PR.
Lily comes to the company with a year’s PR experience gained through work placements and a part-time role at marketing communications firm James Rae Communications.
The appointment was made at a very busy and promising time for Freer PR after new account wins prompted an expansion.
Freer PR’s managing director, Nicola Spindler, said: “At Freer PR we pride ourselves on the strong relationships we build with our clients. The business has grown purely through referral, by achieving great results for our clients.
“Recent account wins meant that in order to continue to offer the best possible service the team would need to grow. I am positive that our combined skills and working relationship will lead to even bigger and better coverage for our clients.”
Lily said: “I started #OperationHireLily purely to see how far my Twitter connections would take me, I never expected to get such a great response or find a company that I was so in tune with.”
