Jack Blenkiron

While Jack Blenkiron was studying at the University of Birmingham, a guest lecture by WPR proved pivotal for his future career. Inspired to learn more about PR, Jack secured an internship on WPR’s NextGen insight programme and discovered a passion for B2B PR. Jack immediately impressed the team, securing a permanent position when he graduated in 2023. Now a valuable source of expert consultancy, Jack has flown through the ranks, being promoted three times in two years to his current position as a trusted PR and content manager. This rapid progress has been driven not only by the tangible impact he has delivered across highly specialised B2B accounts but also by his ability to build rapport as a first point of contact for clients and journalists alike. Securing his first national coverage within weeks of joining the team, Jack’s tenacity and gift for forging connections with key editors has helped transform media perceptions of his clients – in one case, doubling coverage volume. Even at this early stage of his career, Jack is also already proactive in helping others discover the opportunities available in PR and comms, particularly in the lesser-known B2B field. He mentors aspiring professionals through the NextGen programme and speaks at university careers events, acting as a role model for the next generation of B2B PR talent.
