A Rising Star intern at leading Lincolnshire PR and marketing agency Shooting Star has dazzled her colleagues and secured a permanent role.

Zoe Lamb, a recent marketing graduate from the University of Lincoln, is now Junior Account Executive at Shooting Star in Lincoln.

During her three-month internship Zoe (22) quickly established her flair for writing news releases, pitching to journalists, assisting at events and managing social media accounts.

Her skills and passion for marketing have also meant she is often called upon to support Shooting Star’s Marketing Manager Sharon Foster, providing fresh ideas to help plan and deliver campaigns and undertake market research.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my internship at Shooting Star, so when I was offered a permanent position it was an easy decision for me to make,” said Zoe.

“I am continuing to gain invaluable experience each day, which will stand me in good stead for my career ahead.

“The team have been friendly and welcoming from day one, and I am delighted to be able to continue working with them.”

Originally from Daventry in Northamptonshire, Zoe will be the second of Shooting Star’s Rising Star interns to have been awarded a permanent position.

The Rising Star scheme began in May 2010 and has allowed many young aspiring professionals to develop their talent and gain an insight into a fast-growing, competitive industry.

Zoe’s previous experience includes working for a PR agency in her hometown as well as a year spent working in internal communications for a global design and manufacturing company near Munich, Germany.

Shooting Star PR Account Manager Kerri Saxby said: “I’m so pleased that Zoe has come on board as a permanent member of the team. Her enthusiasm and willingness to learn the ropes has opened up more and more opportunities for her during her internship.

“I look forward to working with her during the next phase of her career at Shooting Star as Junior Account Executive.”
