Technical PR agency Stone Junction has announced the addition of two new team members as part of its ongoing growth strategy. With a recent listing in The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work 2025, the agency has appointed senior account executive Laura Brown and account executive Lucia Scarano to bolster its international and creative capabilities.

Before joining Stone Junction, Brown was head of editorial at personal finance website Save the Student, initially joining as a junior content editor before working her way up through more senior roles.

Brown has developed an impressive portfolio in editorial strategy and digital communications. A former winner of the Clothes Show’s Young Journalist of the Year award, Brown has experience leading high-profile national campaigns, including survey-based projects that gained national press coverage and were presented at an All-Party Parliamentary University Group meeting.

With a postgraduate diploma from the London School of Journalism and a History of Art degree from the Courtauld Institute, she brings sharp editorial insight and an eye for visual storytelling.

“Alongside the extensive STEM and language knowledge of our team, high-quality journalistic and visual skills are integral to creating award-winning PR campaigns,” explained Richard Stone, managing director of Stone Junction. “Laura’s skills will help us shape increasingly creative and technical campaigns that cut through noise in complex sectors.”

Joining from Italy, Lucia Scarano adds further strength to the agency’s international team. A corporate communication graduate from Università IULM in Milan, she brings practical experience in marketing and fluency in multiple languages.

Her interest in science and technology communication supports Stone Junction’s work with clients across technical industries. Scarano’s fluency in Italian will support clients targeting the region, including Sandvik Coromant and WEG, while enabling participation in key industry events such as SPS Italia 2026.

“Being able to communicate effectively in the native language, whether with a client or the media, is crucial for building genuine, trust-based relationships,” said Stone. “Lucia’s skills give us further reach across Europe and allow us to craft messages that resonate globally.”

Both hires will support Stone Junction’s diverse roster of STEM clients. Brown is set to work with Cressall Resistors and Thermo Fisher Scientific, while Scarano’s international remit will contribute to content development and event support across multilingual campaigns.

“Working on ground-breaking PR campaigns within such a supportive and ambitious agency is incredible,” said Brown. “I can’t wait to get started.”

“The ability to turn complex ideas into meaningful narratives is what drew me to PR,” added Scarano. “I’m excited to contribute to international projects and share new perspectives with the team.”

With locations in the UK, Germany and Romania, and ten languages spoken in-house, Stone Junction’s expansion reflects its focus on global communication and cross-border storytelling. The agency has won 53 industry awards and continues to support technical innovators with strategic, multilingual campaigns.
