PR and communications 2023
Tamara Better
Product communications manager, Nissan
BETTER JOINED NISSAN in 2016 as a sales and marketing graduate, after moving from her native Australia on completion of a law degree, and she has been promoted three times since. Having finished her graduate scheme, she took up the role of product manager, overseeing first the Micra and Juke before switching to take over the Qashqai and X-Trail models. She moved across to PR in 2021 to lead product communications just as Nissan replaced key models, including the new Qashqai and X-Trail. “Tamara has proven to be a fiercely capable and strong PR manager on an exciting career trajectory,” wrote David Jackson, Nissan GB’s communications director, in her nomination. Her achievements include launching a PR influencers programme, which is new to Nissan, as well as managing the company’s press fleet. She is currently being mentored by Nissan GB managing director Andrew Humberstone.
