Farringdon-based firstlight public relations has appointed Christian Petrovic (pictured right) as an account manager and Anna Price as an associate director.

Price brings its corporate communications team over 15 years of experience in delivering integrated corporate and public affairs strategies in sectors such as finance, food and drink, energy and technology.

She joins firstlight from Cohn & Wolfe where she had held the position of associate director for corporate affairs since 2011.

Prior to this, Price served as communications and public affairs lead at e-skills UK, working with clients and government policy makers to inform business objectives and strategy.

Meanwhile, firstlight has also appointed Christian Petrovic to its healthcare communications team as an account manager.

Petrovic moves to the agency from Burson-Marsteller, which he joined in 2013 as a client executive before promotion to his most recent position as an associate in its healthcare team.

Prior to joining Burson-Marsteller, Petrovic served as a regulatory affairs scientist at Gregory Fryer Associates, where he was responsible for the project management of orphan drug and clinical trial applications.

Paul Davies, firstlight's managing director, said: “2015 was a phenomenal year for firstlight. Our business grew by 37% through a combination of client wins and organic growth.

“By investing in our team at every level, we have made sure we have the best people in place to build on this success in 2016.”
