Ruby Plenderleith
Marketing Manager
About Ruby
Ruby is part of our extended cryo family and works closely with us on a freelance basis to manage our marketing and social media strategy. This extends far beyond daily posts, it’s a finely tuned ship that involved working together with our partners, preparing quality copywritten content, and the management of newsletters to our clients.
With 8+ years of experience in the marketing and events world, Ruby’s worked for industry titans such as The Telegraph, Channel 4, and Hearst UK (publishers of Women’s Health, ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Harper’s Bizarre magazines) and on campaigns for top brands like Reebok, Oatly, Timberland and LOADS more before forging a freelance career by herself.
In her rare moments of downtime, her happy place is walking with her little sidekick (an elderly but gorgeous pug called Riley) up in the hills of Scotland. But when she can’t get to Scotland… a bottle of prosecco with the girls will do the trick!
