Each year, the PRWeek UK Power Book features a definitive list of the UK’s most influential and respected PR professionals. For the third year, Kath Harrison has topped PRWeek’s esteemed list, hailed for her impressive contributions to Britain’s PR industry.
Over her 20-year career in public relations and eight years at GCI Health, Kath’s entrepreneurial spirit and growth mindset have driven unparalleled double-digit agency growth across the EMEA region. She also brings GCI Health’s Inspired by People ethos to life, putting it at the heart of her business decisions to help balance the well-being of GCI Health employees with the needs of its clients.
“What Kath does effortlessly every day is inspire people to share her vision and feel empowered to join her in creating something truly unique for the business and its individuals, a place they might never have reached without her insights, passion and drive,” notes Kim Walker, Managing Director, Culture and Operations UK at GCI Health.
Kath’s leadership and vision have been the driving force behind the agency’s strategic expansion across Europe, which has led to the creation of official GCI Health hubs in the three primary EU healthcare markets in the UK, Germany and Belgium, with strong network presences in other key European markets. This approach allows GCI Health to offer a full-service European presence and capability while also putting down roots in the burgeoning healthcare market of the UAE and the Middle East.
“We truly, more than ever, need more leaders like Kath in creative spaces,” says Akwa Onuoha, Executive Vice President, Managing Director & Global Pharma Client Lead, TANK Worldwide & WPP.
