Vickie Rogerson

North PR Founder

Vickie is a seasoned PR communication specialist with more than 20 years senior level comms experience working with some of the UK’s biggest food and drink brands. She has been on both sides of the fence by working in a range of industry-leading PR and advertising agencies as well as seven years as Head of Food & BWS PR in-house at Asda.

She founded North PR in 2018 as she saw a food and drink skills-gap in the PR industry which was letting down brands. They were paying for fancy communications campaigns that just didn’t deliver, from PR professionals who didn’t understand the sector.
She is on a mission to celebrate great food and drink stories from exciting brands that are making a real difference in the buzzing food sector.

She is adept at creating and delivering bespoke, thoughtful and impactful profile raising campaigns that turn heads.

Her portfolio boasts leading lights in the food and drink arena such as Asda, Pizza Express, Sloemotion Distillery, Holland’s Pies, Violife, Butterkist, Farmison & Co, Pork Farms and R&R Ice Cream.
