Management team

Richard Parker, Managing Director

 

In over 20 years in technology PR, Richard has directed and executed successful campaigns for electronics, software, communications and IT clients.

 

Abandoning a promising early career as a digital design engineer, Richard moved into technology marketing with Analog Devices, a major US semiconductor company. This experience of running global marketing campaigns brought a thorough appreciation of client-side issues, and led directly to Richard becoming a co-founder of EML.

 

Richard has a degree in Physics from Oxford University.

 

David Marsden, Client Services Director

 

David is EML's Asia expert and has been running PR campaigns in Asia for over ten years. He moved into agency PR having spent three years managing NEC's in-house public relations from Singapore, covering semiconductor and networking operations across the Asia Pacific region.

 

David obtained his degree in Japanese and International Business before spending a year studying at a prestigious national university in Japan. He is a fluent Japanese speaker - and is developing his Chinese language skills.

 

Andrew Shephard, Operations Director

 

A PR practitioner for more than a dozen years, Andrew has directed and been involved in campaigns ranging from wireless communications to IT, and from semiconductors to animal MRI scanners.

 

Andrew began his career developing software and hardware before going into sales and marketing in the data acquisition and instrumentation industry. He has a wide understanding of technical and commercial issues in the technology sector.
