Whilst reading for a degree in fashion marketing and communications, Katie worked with the communications team at fashion-retailer Jigsaw, gaining valuable in-house experience.

After graduating with honours, Katie joined Cheltenham-based Kohler UK as a marketing executive, supporting their brand of luxury bathroom products and building on her experience of marketing campaigns on a regional and national level.

The new role with Target will involve working across a broad range of Target's clients across charity, education and business services sectors.

"I'm really pleased to be joining Target. It's great to work with a really creative team on such a diverse range of clients," said Katie.

Zak McKinven, head of advertising at Target adds, "We're delighted to add Katie to the Target team. She has valuable experience of both in-house and agency campaigns, complimenting the service we offer our clients."
