Emma Rushton
Pokadot Founder

With over 15 years of dance and stage experience, Emma Rushton has extensive knowledge of working in the arts and media sectors. Armed with a BA Honours in Drama & Theatre Arts (specialising in producing), and a BTEC ND in styling for fashion, media and theatre, her talent naturally lends itself to creative styling and production.

Her experience is broad ranging, from styling fashion shoots, and producing multi media events, to writing and producing short films and comedy sketches. Her work has received recognition through various awards, including runner up as Business AMs Young Entrepreneur 2002 and short listings for the BBC Comedy Award finals 2002/03.

Her experience of the media industry has also included working as a Marketing Manager for a record company, Director's rep for Embryo Films, and PR & Events manager for Revolver design agency. Quite simply, what Emma enjoys also embodies what she is skilled in - that being the art of communication, and bringing people together for creative events. With a contacts book worth shooting her for (don't get any ideas), her network of suppliers and agencies that work alongside Pokadot, add even more magic to the mix.

A WELL PAID SOURCE 2005

"Over the last year working professionally as a PR and events manager in Edinburgh and throughout Scotland, I have seen so much potential for fresh angles on how to create business growth, small or large, through the use of creativity. There is currently a great opportunity for me to create my own sector in a new evolving creative industry trend. I want to enjoy every moment of my creative work. I love producing on every canvas available, and understanding how my skills can help and bring enjoyment into all walks of business. Whether it's business to business or business to consumer, I offer creative ideas and experiences that enhance the image and impact of a business. Pokadot is always consistent in producing quality service, with the ability to adapt to each client's situation. Standing out in a fast moving industry is key to staying ahead, and Pokadot's creative edge produces added value and relevance to your business."
