To mark International Women’s Day 2024, which takes place every year on 8th March, we’re celebrating some of Swindon and Wiltshire’s most inspiring women.
Through our website and social media channels, we asked our readers which women in our community inspire them and created a list of 20. The list will be printed in our spring magazine and from Friday 1st March, every weekday throughout the month we are profiling and championing each of these fantastic women online and via our social feeds.
Today we put the spotlight on Kirstie Price…
Kirstie is a PR & Social Media Specialist working for Roland DG EMEA and DGSHAPE EMEA. In this role, Kirstie oversees all Public Relations and Organic Social Media activity for across Europe, for both brands. Notable campaigns she has worked on include ‘Red Head Days,’ ‘50 Shades of Ginger’ and ‘Dress Release’ which have won numerous awards including The Drum’s Grand Prix, the PRCA’s Best B2B Technology Award and the PR Moment’s B2B Campaign of the Year.
Outside of her day job, Kirstie is the Vice Chairperson of the Athenaeum Masqueraders, a non-professional community theatre group who specialise in musicals based in Warminster. Kirstie became a member of the group in 2019 when she joined the cast of ‘Legally Blonde The Musical’ and has since taken on many on-stage and off-stage roles, including Assistant Director, Choreographer, and Producer.
In 2022, Kirstie joined the group’s management committee, fulfilling the role of Social Media Manager, which she still holds alongside her other responsibilities.
One of her nominations stated, “Kirstie is a champion in the industry of bringing young women into Public Relations. She is a selfless woman who constantly goes out of her way to help others and always plays an active part in making her community a brighter, more enjoyable place to be.”
