Jane Whitham,
Director

Jane leads Altitude and has worked in senior PR roles for 16 years. Before making the switch to PR, Jane was a journalist writing for regional and national publications. Jane began planning Altitude PR in the summer of 2021 (mid pandemic) and launched the business in February 2022.

“We get to unlock potential in ambitious businesses and help them grow. That's an enormous privilege. I love the variety in my role and the many different businesses, organisations and people we work alongside. Our vision is to become the B2B agency of choice for businesses driving Britain’s growth in manufacturing, clean energy, digital/tech and property/place.”

Jane has a wealth of experience in PR and communications, having worked for large media brands and complex organisations.

“In 2008, I exited journalism and moved into PR working for two different national charities. In 2012 I decided to set up my own PR agency with a colleague. Cream Consultancy Ltd operated for six years and during that time provided PR support businesses, local authorities and individuals.

Jane has a BA Hons Communication Studies from Coventry University, as well as being an Accredited Member of the Chartered Institute for Public Relations (CIPR).

“I love running and have completed two half marathons. I trained for Manchester Marathon and got to distance but suffered a foot injury a month before the event. One day I will complete a marathon! I’m Yorkshire born and bred and love the fact you can be in a city one minute and 20 minutes later you can be in the hills.”
