  During my time at Seasalt Cornwall, I worked closely with the Marketing team to promote the public relations of the Cornish fashion brand. My key role at Seasalt was to create awareness of the various USPs of the company, including the family business story, use of organic cotton and coastal inspiration story. My aim was to PR Seasalt as the 'to-go-to' fashion brand for top quality, classic nautical wear with a twist. After launching the brand at a national level with John Lewis, I worked with key fashion bloggers and journalists to create awareness of the brand, via seeding, endorsement and general PR story. A key part of my role was to boost CSR, such as working with coastal charity, the Fishermen's Mission and Marie Curie Cancer Care. I also worked to promote the brand across a broad range of press, from local, to eco journalists and from fashion and lifestyle to business.
