Franchise Careers appoints new General Manager – Public Relation Services

Franchise Franchise Careers is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Kelly as its General Manager, Public Relations Services.

Andrew brings with him a wealth of experience in franchise public relations and corporate communications, having worked with national brands including Amcal Pharmacies, Bob Jane T-Marts, Brumby’s Bakeries, McDonalds, Sportsco, and more recently Clark Rubber.

As well as being an award-winning community radio commentator, Andrew is also a qualified journalist and continues to write with Fairfax Community Newspapers.

According Dean Salamone, Franchise Careers’ Director, the business saw an opportunity in the franchising sector for a specialised PR Agency.

“Whilst recruitment and training will remain Franchise Careers’ core products, we strongly believe that there is a desperate need for a PR Services solution that truly understands the dynamics and idiosyncrasies of franchising,” Dean said.

“We will provide fully-integrated PR Services, such as communications strategy, media strategy, media relations, media coaching and training, corporate & executive profiling, professional writing, event management, speaking platforms, sponsorship leverage, issues management and conferences.”

Dean concluded by saying that over the last 15 years, Andrew has increased the awareness, profile and business growth of some of the leading franchisors in Australia.

“We can’t wait to start working with existing and new clients to offer our new service and play an active role in promoting and growing their businesses,” Dean said.

Franchise Careers provide franchise advice and franchise consultancy services.
