Molly is an avid reader, Ted Talk watcher and cake enthusiast. At the weekend you can find her brunching her way around London, eventing her horse Gem or laughing at her own (very questionable) jokes. She is the voice of the viral and utterly adorable equine star Teddy The Shetland pony and travels the length of the country for his filming jobs and influencer events.
Molly is passionate about the event and premiere side of film PR but also enjoys determining angles for Strike’s most niche press releases. It was the writing and copywriting side of the role that drew her to PR and she continues to put her English degree to good use at Strike.
