UK-based music public relations and social media agency Name PR has announced a trio of promotions as it marks its 25th anniversary.

Senior account executive Will McCrossan, who joined the agency in 2025 and has delivered industry-facing campaigns for clients including IDOL and the Association Of Independent Music (AIM), has been elevated to junior account manager, corporate.

In addition, Joshua Hart, who also joined Name PR in 2025, has been promoted to publicist. He now leads NamePR’s consumer practice, alongside working on corporate clients such as Proper and Exceleration Music and Redeye’s 30th and Cooking Vinyl's 40th anniversary celebrations.

Hart has nine years of consumer experience, including six at Proper’s in-house PR team.

Any company is only as good as its staff, and Josh, Ruby and Will are an exceptionally switched-on, passionate and attentive trio

Name PR has also appointed Ruby Harpin full-time as press assistant, working across corporate and consumer. Harpin previously worked as a management assistant at Z Management.

"These promotions reflect the swift progress Will and Josh have made in the last year, and my expectation is that they are set to grow a lot further," said Name PR founder Sam Shemtob. "Any company is only as good as its staff, and Josh, Ruby and Will are an exceptionally switched-on, passionate and attentive trio, working with a spring in their step!” 

NamePR played a pivotal role in the early growth of AIM and Merlin, and has represented companies including FUGA, Kobalt and Sony Music UK. It has also delivered consumer campaigns for artists like Stevie Wonder and Jean-Michel Jarre, and events including the Folk Album Of The Year Award and The British Library’s Beyond The Bassline exhibition.

The agency plans to commemorate its 25-year milestone with celebrations in the autumn.
