JOB DESCRIPTION:

We’re working with a brilliant, award-winning integrated communications agency to help them find the next superstar for their team. Based in Buckinghamshire but with big city ambition, this is an ideal next step for someone with around 6 months of PR experience (either in a permanent role or an internship) who’s looking to build a career in PR and comms.

This agency has had a hugely successful period of new business wins, and they’re growing fast, with ambitious plans, creative campaigns and a genuinely supportive culture. You’ll be joining a collaborative team working across a wide variety of exciting clients – from household-name food brands to iconic automotive and entertainment names.

About the Agency:

• They’ve just won The Sunday Times Best Workplace award – plus special recognition as one of the top places for women to work in the UK
• Amazing campaigns for brands across Food & Drink, Travel, Entertainment and Lifestyle
• Fun, creative team culture – with legendary annual away trips (Marbella, Copenhagen…)
• Clear career development, fast-track promotion opportunities and a supportive leadership team
• Annual bonus scheme – up to 10% of salary
• Hybrid working – juniors are usually in 4 days a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays as team anchor days

The Account Executive Role:

• Supporting on creative campaigns and press office activity across a range of consumer sectors
• Pitching to media and influencers, writing press releases and generating coverage
• Helping to manage events and stunts (think celebrity cheese tastings, short film festivals and influencer-packed theme park launches!)
• Researching, supporting on brainstorms and contributing creative ideas
• Working closely with the in-house design and digital teams
• Drafting content for social media and reporting on campaign performance

What they’re looking for:

• You will have some experience in PR already – whether that is an internship or junior role (agency preferred but not essential)
• The Account Executive will need excellent writing and communication skills
• Proactive, organised and up for getting stuck in
• Genuine interest in consumer brands and a passion for storytelling
• Someone who enjoys variety and is happy working across sectors (no pigeonholing here)
