Acorn winners 2011 – Megan McIntyre

Age 29
Position PR & marketing manager, Renaissance London Chancery Court hotel, London
Nominator Fiona Stilborn
Proudest career moment Sitting alongside Chancery Court's front of house team when they won the Visit London Outstanding Customer Service Award in 2010.
Greatest inspiration My parents for showing me you can get anywhere with hard work; my former PR account directors Cass Helstrip and Cat Hamilton for blending imagination with practical business sense to create inspirational campaigns; and Fiona Stilborn for her honesty, tenacity and ability to seamlessly merge sales and marketing with the broader operations of the hotel.
Ambition To be director of communications for a global brand, or to develop a new hospitality brand.

In 2009, McIntyre joined the team at Renaissance Chancery Court, where she has been responsible for projects such as facilitating a hotel-wide rebrand and a spa Christmas campaign that delivered 327% return on investment.
