We are delighted to announce Renee Puskas has been promoted to Account Manager.
Since joining the team as a Senior Account Executive in 2023, Renee has brought her expertise in influencer marketing across lifestyle and consumer brands, to the agency. Working on high-profile events like Melbourne Racing Club and Penfolds, Renee has been pivotal in shaping the agency’s strategic and creative approach to talent engagement and management. Renee currently works across KateCo. PR’s beauty & wellness, luxury, and events portfolio, and we’re excited to watch her continued growth as a publicist.
In addition, we are thrilled to welcome two new members of the team in 2025!
Soma Kochak joins the KateCo. PR team as an Account Executive, beginning her career at Rodd & Gunn, in their marketing team, whilst offering up her knack for writing as a monthly contributor to The Modern Muse Magazine – a start-up publication covering lifestyle, fashion and culture. Originally from Queensland, armed with a business degree and a Master of Fashion Entrepreneurship, Soma brings a unique edge to the team. Fluent in Hindi, Marathi, and French, Soma is a true multi-linguist, and we’re excited to watch her grow as she embarks on her PR journey with us.
Alongside Soma, we also welcome Swati Sahdev, who began her career in PR as KateCo. PR’s very own intern, now transitioning to a full-time role as Account Coordinator (we’re so happy to have her back!)
Swati is a fashion-forward creative and recent RMIT graduate with a Bachelor’s in Fashion Enterprise. Her global perspective – shaped by life in India, Malaysia, Houston, Sydney, and now Melbourne – have shaped her maturity and broadened her worldview. Swati’s knack for current trends and her flair for social media, among other skills, make her an invaluable asset to our lifestyle, consumer, and event portfolios.
