Springboard Communications has appointed former Irish Examiner editor Tom Fitzpatrick as a director.
During his time as editor at the Irish Examiner, Mr Fitzpatrick drove the growth of the title's digital subscription strategy as well as championing high-impact public interest journalism.
Before the Examiner, he was based in London as Editor of Construction News, a business to business publication for the UK construction sector.
In his new role, Mr Fitzpatrick will provide senior strategic counsel to clients, advising organisations on reputation management, navigating complex communications challenges and supporting how they engage with media and key stakeholders.
Susie Horgan, Managing Director and founder of Springboard Communications, said that Mr Fitzpatrick's experience and perspective will be hugely valuable as the agency continues to grow and evolve its client offering.
"Springboard has built a strong reputation for strategic communications that stand up to scrutiny, and it's a business I've long respected. After many years in journalism, moving into a director role with Springboard felt like a natural next step," Mr Fitzpatrick said.
