Former national newspaper journalist, Carole Aye Maung has joined corporate communications consultancy, Cofinitive as the company continues to enjoy unprecedented growth.

Since opening its doors in 2015, the Cambridge-based consultancy, which specialises in branding, strategy, marketing communication & engagement, has notched up a string of prestigious awards – and recently featured as the fastest climber in Business Weekly’s ‘Image Makers’ list, rising from 8th to 5th position.

With more than 20 years’ experience working nationally and internationally on three Fleet Street newspapers, and three years working in public relations locally, Carole brings a wealth of new media and communications skills to the team.

As a journalist, Carole was the first recipient of News Corps’ Global Excellence journalism award for her coverage of the 9/11 tragedy, reporting from both Ground Zero and Afghanistan. She was also part of the original Daily Mirror team that set up the Pride Of Britain awards in 1999 and went on to originate the News Of The World’s Children Champions Awards, which was televised on Sky for eight years.

Cofinitive founder, Faye Holland said: “I am delighted to welcome Carole to our growing team. She has a wealth of media experience and understanding which further strengthens and expands our existing communications team.”

Carole will be working as an Account Manager, supporting both new and existing clients.

She said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the hugely talented team at Cofinitive, and to be given the opportunity to work with such an inspiring and diverse client base.

“At its heart, Cofinitive is a company focused on supporting and promoting businesses, both locally and internationally. It is also an integral part of the Pay It Forward community, giving back to society, and I am proud to be part of such a team.”
