Fast-growing digital PR agency has offices in London and Manchester 

Digital PR agency Press Box PR has strengthened its content team with the appointment of Will Rook as Senior Creative Content Manager.

Rook spent seven and a half years at Betway Group in various editorial roles between 2016 and 2023. He later worked with Stats Perform as Project Manager and Content Editor to help manage the delivery of its sports betting editorial content for their clients and produce much of the English language content himself.

He joins the content team at Press Box to develop engaging sports campaigns that leverage global trending topics from ideation through to execution, to earn top-tier media coverage for clients across multiple sectors, including sports, betting and gaming.

Press Box is an earned-first digital PR and content agency, delivering B2C and B2B communications, with specialisms in sport, betting and gaming, finance, consumer lifestyle and hospitality and catering brands.

Founded in 2019 by former Ladbrokes PR manager Alex Donohue, Press Box PR now employs more than 40 people across its offices in London and Manchester.

Rook said: “I’m really grateful for the opportunity at this stage of my career and can’t wait to get started. I’m excited to be joining a team that is growing and am looking forward to contributing to the success of the agency and our clients.”

Greg Johnson, Head of Content at Press Box PR, said: “Brilliant content is at the heart of what we do at Press Box and Will’s arrival further strengthens our team. His deep knowledge of sport and betting, combined with his proven ability to come up with great ideas and produce relevant and newsworthy content will help us continue to exceed expectations for our clients.”
