Derby-based communications agency Penguin PR has appointed Danielle Williams as its newest account executive, strengthening its digital marketing and content creation offering.

Danielle joins the agency with a strong background in digital content, having previously worked with British Wheelchair Basketball. In this role, she played a key part in boosting the organisation’s online presence, producing engaging content that helped the national governing body reach new and wider audiences.

Alongside her professional achievements, Danielle has built a personal following of more than 22,000 TikTok users, showcasing her ability to create content that connects and resonates.

Her experience as an influencer gives her valuable insight into building digital communities and creating content that connects on a personal level – skills she now brings to Penguin PR’s client campaigns.

She is currently entering her final year of a journalism degree at the University of Derby and will work part-time with Penguin PR while completing her studies. Danielle has already supported several client accounts, developed social media strategies and secured media coverage.
