Job description

We’re looking for a creative and hands-on Communications Lead to join our dynamic and ambitious team at Digital i. This is an exciting opportunity for you if you’re a communications professional, with experience in entertainment, looking to take the next stride in your career.

In this role, you’ll be working alongside the Marketing Lead to raise awareness of our industry-leading streaming data products and further establish Digital i as the leading provider of global streaming audience data and insights.

This is a varied role that involves press pitching, events and editorial. One day you might be pitching national newspapers with our latest insights on how the nation is watching YouTube and Netflix, the next day you could be working with the insights team to craft attention-grabbing headlines for our latest report into what the world is watching on streaming platforms before spending the evening networking with journalists at an industry event.

The role is ideal for a self-starter who is familiar with the entertainment industry and excited to learn how viewing data powers key decisions at global streaming platforms, broadcasters and major Hollywood studios.

We’re a tight-knit team of go-getters and you’ll be expected to work closely with members of the sales, research, and leadership teams, ensuring a consistent and compelling message across every touchpoint, from the press to events to our in-house whitepapers.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute Digital i’s narrative strategy across internal and external touchpoints
• Ideate and collaborate with Research and the Marketing Lead to find data-driven insights and stories to pitch to media outlets
• Nurture Digital i’s existing media relationships and build your own network of trusting journalists and industry professionals, expanding share of voice though other sourced opportunities
• Be the first point of contact for inbound media requests
• Ensure Digital is attending and speaking at the most relevant media industry events by pitching our analysts and their insights as well as attending yourself as Digital i’s representative
• Use your editorial eye to ensure the story in every piece of work delivered by an analyst adds value and communicates insight with clarity
• Support the Marketing Lead with Digital i’s social media presence
• Maintain the internal weekly newsletter
• Stay ahead of current events and shifts in the media landscape.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in the entertainment industry, either at an agency or working for a brand
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can translate technical ideas into clear, compelling messages
• A natural-born storyteller with a passion for entertainment
• A keen eye for detail and a commitment to champion the brand story across the business
• A creative mindset, a hunger to learn, and a collaborative spirit

Bonus Points:

• Data Literacy - you don’t have to be a maths whizz but having a knack for interpreting stats will help you understand how precise data storytelling is at the cornerstone of Digital i’s brand

Join Digital i – Where Data Meets Entertainment

From humble beginnings, we’ve grown from a small UK audience analysis firm to a global streaming audience datat company reporting on viewing across 20 countries and serving the worlds’ biggest and best-known entertainment brands .

This is your chance to make a real impact: shaping the industry conversation with high-quality data, growing our brand, and bringing fresh ideas to a young and dynamic team that values innovation.

Enjoy hybrid and flexible working, EV leasing schemes, gym perks, private health insurance, your birthday off, and regular socials (recent outings have involved axe-throwing, a boat disco through Bristol docks and an evening playing old arcade games).

If you want to be part of a collaborative team that’s redefining how major global entertainment businesses understand their audiences, we’d love to hear from you.
