The Royal National Institute for Deaf People’s communications
director, Joe Saxton, is to boost the media relations and campaigns
departments at the charity as part of a wider revamp of its
communications strategy and a move towards proactive campaigning. He has
created two senior media relations positions: media relations head David
Barker will oversee an enlarged department of seven, and be in charge of
promoting the charity’s national services in tandem with the fundraising
department; campaigns director Phyliss Campbell-McRae will see the
campaigns team grow by two to four and co-ordinate media relations in
the charity’s regional offices.
