Izzy Rushton

Izzy joined the English-Speaking Union as Marketing and Communications Officer in 2025, bringing with her a strong background in psychology, PR, social media and brand communications. Passionate about creative storytelling and the power of communication to connect people, she is excited to support the ESU’s mission and help extend its reach to schools and communities across the UK and beyond.

Before joining the ESU, Izzy gained valuable experience working with leading brands in the commercial sector, such as Pets at Home and Procter & Gamble. Her roles in PR and experiential marketing saw her manage influencer campaigns, deliver national events and produce engaging digital content, from social media campaigns to live broadcast activations. She is skilled in developing creative strategies, managing stakeholder relationships and delivering campaigns that drive meaningful engagement.

Outside of work, Izzy enjoys relaxing with a spot of foraging and hiking, as well as yoga, meditation and sewing.
