Rhian Robinson
Managing Director, Battenhall
Rhian Robinson is a rare breed. She joined Battenhall in 2015 when it was a startup social media agency with one office in London, and only a dozen employees. Since then she has worked her way up from Account Executive to Managing Director of the company’s UK, European and Asia divisions – and now leads a team of over 100.
As a home grown leader in the business, and now in the wider social media industry, Rhian has shaped Battenhall’s destiny in being named the industry’s leading social media agency more than 30 times.
Under her leadership, she has nurtured a culture of innovation, togetherness, and team development, which has benefited every person in the business. She celebrates every individual triumph and focuses on the positives, recognising that the modern workforce has evolved to encompass a new cohort that prioritises hybrid working and flexibility.
Rhian is also committed to promoting ‘social media for good’. Last year, she was invited to the US embassy in London to give a talk on the importance of media literacy in young people as part of the agency’s RAISE (Responsible Actions In Social for Everyone) initiative, partnering with charity Facing History & Ourselves.
