Hannah Corbett has been promoted to head of publicity and communications at Thames & Hudson in the publisher’s 75th anniversary year.

Corbett adds responsibility for corporate, internal and international communications across the company to her role as head of the publicity team, leading the team of publicists and managing freelancers. 

Since joining Thames & Hudson, she has led on the publicity for campaigns including Marr’s Guitars by Johnny Marr, Derek Jarman’s House by Gilbert McCarragher, An Atlas of Es Devlin and the forthcoming Led by Donkeys: Adventures in Art, Activism and Accountability, publishing 12th September. She also works on communications initiatives, such as curating the events programme at Photo London 2024 and the sponsorship of the Art Newspaper’s book club.

With its main office in London, a sister company in New York and subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne and Paris, Corbett’s new role will also facilitate greater co-operation and collaboration across Thames & Hudson’s headquarters.

"Since joining us, Hannah Corbett has brought an energetic and creative approach to our publicity, and her ambition and ability to think strategically beyond her department’s work and into intentional activity about how we communicate across Thames & Hudson and beyond has led to this promotion," chief executive officer Sophy Thompson said. "I am delighted to congratulate Hannah on her expanded role."

Corbett added: "I have enjoyed my first year at Thames & Hudson tremendously and this promotion is just the icing on the cake. To be able to work in both the world of book publishing and across the visual arts is a real privilege and I greatly look forward to helping further build the company’s prestigious brand at home and abroad."
