The Opportunity
My client, an independent, integrated communications agency is looking for a proactive and ambitious PR Account Executive to join its growing team, working across a varied portfolio of consumer, lifestyle and travel clients.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around 9–12 months of PR experience who is ready to take the next step in their career. You’ll work across multiple accounts, supporting media relations, developing creative story ideas and delivering impactful PR campaigns for an exciting mix of brands.
The ideal candidate will have some hands-on PR experience, whether gained through an agency role, in-house position or relevant internships, alongside strong writing skills, a good understanding of the UK media landscape and the confidence to take ownership of tasks. Consumer PR experience is essential; travel experience would be beneficial but is not a requirement.
This is a busy, varied role suited to someone who is organised, commercially aware and keen to hit the ground running.
