You’ll be joining a powerhouse of an agency that have never lost their grounded & humble approach who will give you the opportunity to create campaigns without restrictions & may be worth taking on board that their work transcends different countries, audiences, channels, and formats.

There’s also plenty of stats to back up their incredible levels of staff retention, as well as numerous examples of people that have had rewarding careers, and even the ones that have left, tend to come back.

The role

This agency has a mega record of delivering buzz-worthy, and action-driving campaigns and initiatives, while placing work/life balance and the well-being of their team at the heart of everything they do. You’ll also be surrounded by some seriously talented & experienced people that will guide & develop you at every step of your journey.

You’ll be working with some incredible consumer brands which sometimes cross over to the B2B space, and they do incredible work by raising the bar, and to be the best, they choose courage over comfort. This means you may be targeting B2B audiences on Instagram or cultivating conversations among lifestyle consumers through headlines, which enables them to seamlessly share a brand’s full story.

You’ll be key to developing & cultivating positive relationships with allocated clients, and their stakeholders/influencers such as media, third party constituencies, and current and prospective customers to convey key messages. You’ll also participate in discussions with clients to understand PR, social and experiential briefs, as well as broader briefs involving other members of the network, which will see you work with some of the best creatives & planners in the field.

You’ll be in an environment where they expect the best from each other but strive for a culture of trust. They empower each another to be flexible and prioritise balance, mental well-being and physical health to enable them to do their best work. They care about their business, colleagues, and the communities in which they operate, which is why people stay for long periods. .

What we’re looking for

The role suits someone who loves the buzz of the industry and who gets a thrill from working with iconic brands, who loves seeing thier work zoom across different channels & in turn giving your client the presence it deserves.

Attitude & temperament is key in this role - this agency prioritises people that have a vested interest in working for a firm that is dynamic, diverse and without question does not follow the norm. People learn in different ways so your experience can span across a few years, which must have been gained in an agency environment where you have been delivering PR & digital campaigns. Extensive understanding and experience of social media platforms, trends, algorithms, and best practices is also important. You’ll also guide people at exec & senior exec level so it’s also important you’ve had some experience at a managerial level, and you’re happy somewhere which is inclusive of different voices, perspectives, and experiences, and believe they are stronger as a team where differences are celebrated.

What’s on offer

A salary of up to £36,000, which isn’t set in stone, plus an industry leading & comprehensive benefits package with an emphasis on work/life balance & flexibility.

There’s also continuous professional training & development, including internal and external coaching, well above average holiday entitlement, programme of wellbeing and sustainability focused activities. Plus, parental support and many more things that can ease the pressure and making your working life much easier.
