Sam Harper Ard's Linkedin Analytics

I started working in the media in my early teens... Since then, I've been lucky enough to have a varied career at some of the UK's biggest broadcasters and award-winning PR & marketing agencies.

I love working with clients to help them tell their stories in new, engaging ways. I'm in charge of a number of key accounts for Arch... I'm responsible for managing relationships, coming up with ideas for eye-catching publicity and meeting a number of targets. I've led the agencies move into film content. I regularly shoot and edit videos for clients such as the NHS, Peak Pharmacy, Alstom and many others. I played a vital part in the agency winning a Gold CIPR Award for our work with major housebuilder William Davis Homes. I oversee, mentor and approve the work of junior members of the team. I also continue to work in broadcasting... I regularly produce and present shows for BBC Radio WM, Stoke, Leicester and Derby. I've hosted pretty much every show on the schedule, including shows following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. I'm a highly experienced journalist. During my time at the BBC, I've reported on a number of high-profile stories for TV, radio and online. Throughout my presenting career, I've also hosted shows for market-leading commercial radio stations including Gem Radio, Free Radio, Signal 1 and many others. Away from work, I love exploring new places, adventures with my dog and getting out on my kayak whenever I can...
