parkyoung has strengthened its PR offer by launching a new offshoot agency specialising in media relations.
The Ledbetter Agency, as the new entity is called, is a hat-tip to Ivy Ledbetter Lee, considered by many to be the founder of modern public relations.

Media relations specialist Jaselyn O’Sullivan heads up the new entity. Prior to joining the parkyoung team, O’Sullivan was responsible for establishing and running bellamyhayden’s PR arm in Sydney.
