Aberdeen-based Engage PR has unveiled former Dundee Evening Telegraph depute editor Lee Harrow as its latest recruit.

Lee, pictured, joins as communications director Engage, whose services include strategic communications and PR advisory services, social media management and copywriting for clients across a number of sectors.

In addition to her Evening Telegraph role she was also previously head of the magazines division at the newspaper’s publisher DC Thomson and news editor at sister title the Aberdeen Evening Express.
