Accor has expanded its communications team, with two new appointment Janelle Neeve and Rocky Rosebery.
Janelle has stepped into the role of Communications Manager, while Rocky heads up the company’s social media profile as Social Media and Communication Coordinator.
Janelle will assist to implement Accor’s communication strategy, managing events and campaigns to promote Accor and its hotel brands across Australia, Pacific.
Moving across from her current role as Marketing Coordinator, Rocky will manage Accor’s social media presence as well as supporting the communications team to generate traditional media coverage.
The creation of Rocky’s new role recognises the shift towards online media as a news source and the increasing importance of social media for Accor’s brands.
Both report to the Director of Communications Ginni Post.
“We’re excited to see our online channels continue to evolve and develop over the next few months.”
