• Chief Communications Officer Meredith Maines initiated a shift from a two-person in-house team to an agency-backed structure earlier this year.
• The couple added Emily Robinson, a former senior publicity director at Netflix, as their new director of communications.
• They retained Method Communications to provide specialist PR support across five time zones and accelerate response times to media inquiries.
• The team overhaul coincides with their expanding business and philanthropic portfolio, notably Meghan Markle’s relaunch of her As Ever lifestyle brand.
