Senior Marketing and PR Manager at DesignMyNight, Leighanne has
been a member of our team for a decade - publishing pieces in The
Week, The Independent, Cosmopolitan, HELLO!, Grazia, and Women's
Health.
She's turned her passion for the hospitality industry into a
marketing career here in London after years working in restaurants
and dabbling in journalism for her university paper. Leighanne uses
that wealth of knowledge across must-read guides, social media, and
dynamic campaigns with the likes of Warner's Gin, CoppaFeel! and
Whitebox - one of which won an award in the 2024 UK Digital PR
Awards. Also a Cocktails In The City Judge and award-winning
campaign manager, she'll likely be found drinking an Irish coffee
in Swift.
