RAA expands client services team

RAA Sprague Gibbons, the Bristol-based recruitment communications agency, has added to its client services team this month.

Sarah Lugg joins the expanding team as Account Executive, to work on a range of clients, including the recently-won Avis account.

Unusually, Sarah was not taken on because the agency desperately needed new staff, but because she made a direct approach, and RAA felt she was too good to miss.

Sarah Asprey, Client Services Director, says: ìSarah made a speculative approach, because she had researched all the agencies in Bristol and decided that she really wanted to work for us. We liked her style so decided to take her on, even though we werenít particularly in need of new people. RAA is all about fit ñ with our people and our clients. If the fit is right, we know we are onto a good thing, and Sarah has slotted in with our team perfectly.

ìTo some extent we took a risk, but it has worked out fantastically, since we won the Avis account shortly after appointing Sarah!î

Sarah Lugg, 26, is a Business and Media Studies graduate. With two yearsí recruitment advertising experience, Sarah came to RAA looking for career progression and a more interesting and varied client base. ìAt RAA, I can work on national accounts, not just regional ones, and I can be much more hands-on. I donít spend all my time processing small black and white ads!î

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys keeping fit through running, circuit training and swimming. She currently goes running with a colleague three lunchtimes a week! She also enjoys reading, music and film.

RAA Sprague Gibbons is a national, independent agency, based in a converted church in Bristol. With 30 employees under one roof, RAA provides practical, effective recruitment communications solutions for clients across the UK.
