I began my PR journey in 2009, working as an in-house communications manager for midsize agencies and luxury brands. Over the years, I learned the ins and outs of the industry, but I often felt like I wasn\u2019t fully aligned with my purpose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">\u201cThere\u2019s always this itch,\u201d I said, and for me, it was a nagging feeling that I could create something better, something more in tune with the evolving PR landscape. Initially, I started freelancing to test the waters. It was a slow, deliberate process, but once I gained momentum and clarity, I formalised it into a full-fledged agency.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">In 2017, Apostrophe Communications came to life.
