A warm welcome to fresh faces

We’ve been joined by some great new additions this year, each bringing their unique skillset to the Sookio team:

Olha Havrina

Joining us as Sookio’s Social Media Executive, Olha has 3+ years experience managing social media accounts in a wide variety of niches ranging from fashion to marketing. Prior to joining Sookio, Olha graduated from the Faculty of Foreign Languages of V.N K Karazin Kharkiv National University in Ukraine.

Olha is a social media expert with a keen eye for the creative details and impressive content creation skills. She’s skilled in photo-editing, video editing and social media content scheduling, making graphics and clips with plenty of wow factor!

In her spare time, Olha is an avid artist, writer and gamer and a keen fan of theatre and film.

Sukhjinder Singh

Sukh is an SEO Consultant with over 14 years’ experience driving organic awareness, traffic, and sales for both big and small brands.

He has predominantly worked agency-side, delivering e-commerce and lead generation SEO to brands across various sectors, including retail, healthcare, technology, education, and finance.

Sukh has a passion for delivering SEO work that directly impacts his clients’ bottom line, aligning SEO strategies with a client’s business targets and reporting on their impact in a digestible and relatable way.

Over the years, Sukh has taught SEO through bespoke, one-off sessions, as part of week-long marketing bootcamps, and through DMI and CIM certified programs. 

A seasoned public speaker, Sukh will be sharing his expertise further by speaking at this year’s Brighton SEO (14 to 15 September).

Hector Corey

Joining Sookio as our new Campaigns Manager, Hector has a strong background in communications, having previously worked for the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, where he was responsible for running paid social media advertising campaigns.

Currently studying for his Level 4 in Professional Digital Marketing at the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Hector brings a fresh approach to campaign management and a proven track record of success in data analysis and marketing strategy optimisation.

Hector graduated from Loughborough University in 2021, with a degree in Sport Science with Business and Marketing. It was while doing the course he realised that a career in comms would be the right path to follow.

Half French, half Liverpudlian, Hector is also an avid Liverpool supporter - so he’s already a fan of Sookio red!

What’s on the horizon for Sookio?

We’re continuing to work with a roster of prestigious clients, recently producing a podcast marketing strategy for Calling All Stations, being commissioned for further work with bioprocessing startup CellRev and life science property giants BioMed Realty, and starting work on a new strategy for a division of the prestigious Cavendish Laboratory.

In addition, we have exciting speaking events around the corner in partnership with Innovate UK and Cambridge Network (more details to follow).

We’re also thrilled to announce we’re reintroducing a much-loved Sookio staple, with the return of Sookio Sharpener events for clients. These handy virtual sessions, hosted by the Sookio team and associates, help to untangle your thinking on a range of essential marketing topics.
