Fourtold, UK-based independent corporate communication consultancy, is delighted to announce it has recruited Kathryn Bowditch to join its growing UK and international team.

Kathryn has 15 years’ experience in corporate communications, including thought-leadership development, crisis and media relations. For the past two years she led the professional services team at FTI Consulting and has worked with a range of top-tier international brands including KPMG, Linklaters, Sidley Austin, Nabarro and JLL.

She will take a leading role in advising on existing international client briefs and recently-won contracts as well as supporting the continuous growth of Fourtold, especially focusing on the London professional and financial services market place.

Fourtold is a corporate communications and issues management consultancy, with strength across employee engagement and advocacy, change communications, issues and crisis and political advocacy support. It is expert in integrating the latest thinking and technology in social and digital media to its client offer with award-winning impact.

In 2017, Fourtold won ‘Trade Association Campaign of the Year’ award at the European Public Affairs Awards for its work with ECPA, which had already earned the ‘Best In-house Agency Collaboration’ award in 2016. It operates from Oxford, Brussels and Boston in the USA and has a network of associates across Europe.

Fourtold managing director Adam Powell said, “I am delighted that Kathryn is joining Fourtold. She is a great addition to our growing team and the fact we have been able to lure her from a great business like FTI Consulting to Fourtold reflects the quality of work and the client base that we have built up. I am confident Kathryn will bring new, invaluable perspectives and support to our clients and continue Fourtold’s growth story.”

Commenting on her move, Kathryn said, “The energy and agility of a young company, combined with the consultancy-led approach to help international organisations address complex reputational challenges was a real attraction to Fourtold.  The team’s enthusiasm is infectious and has made great progress in a short space of time. I am excited to bring my experience, skills and connections to help the team grow further.”
