Hugh Massam
Senior PR Associate
Humans are still drawn to a good, meaningful story well told. I enjoy finding the gold that makes a story come to life.
Hugh worked for Shell around the world for over a decade in New Zealand, Australia and its global HQ in Den Haag, The Netherlands. He relocated to the UK in 2010 where he worked as a senior change leader at EON – he is no stranger to complex organisations, tricky media engagements or managing multiple stakeholders.
With over 15 years in-house in communications roles for blue-chip companies on three continents, spanning internal comms, media relations and change projects, Hugh is now a senior KISS associate usually focused on creating engaging content around complex topics.
He blogs regularly for KISS and on behalf of clients and enjoys working on internal comms projects and with leadership teams facing change.
