Account Coordinator, Public Relations
Gillian Hanley

My interest in public relations began while I was working in the service industry and surrounded by different people every day. Whether it was sparking conversations, getting to know strangers, or learning new communication skills, I loved working in a fast-paced environment and connecting with people.

WHY CASTLE

At Castle, all ideas are welcomed, and everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and perspectives, no matter their role.

After studying public relations and marketing at Auburn University, I gained hands-on experience in the PR industry as a Media Relations Associate, assisting hospitality clients with several local and national awareness campaigns. Throughout this role, I supported clients by boosting engagement on social media platforms, building strong relationships, and practicing effective communication. Once I saw how meaningful it is to help connect clients with the media, my excitement for working in PR continued to grow.

Beyond my passion for connecting with people, I also love connecting with the world. I’ll always say yes to a spontaneous trip. Exploring new cities, diving into different cultures, and learning the history behind each place excites me. One of my biggest bucket-list goals is to visit all 50 states and hopefully many places beyond that.
