Head of PR - Lifestyle & Consumer Brands

Location: London
Salary: £75K-£90K+

We're looking for a Head of PR to reinvigorate and grow our lifestyle PR division. This is a challenging but exciting leadership role, requiring a strategic, well-connected PR expert to elevate our PR offering to the same level as our influencer work.

The Opportunity

• Lead and rebuild the PR division, securing and retaining major consumer and lifestyle brands.

• Work with key clients, including Visa, Channel 4, Battersea Power Station, Spitalfields Market, and Sea Containers Hotel.

• Drive new business growth, bringing in exciting big-name consumer brands.

• Elevate the team's creativity and execution, making PR campaigns more strategic, exciting, and culturally relevant.

• Balance traditional PR (press office/lifestyle accounts) with modern brand-building, influencer collaborations, and sponsorships.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead & Inspire: Manage a team that needs strong leadership, vision, and motivation.

• New Business Growth: Proactively win major consumer PR clients - think Levi's over Prada, music sponsorships over corporate PR.

• Creative & Commercial Strategy: Develop standout PR campaigns that integrate traditional press with influencers and partnerships.

• Media & Influencer Network: Be well-connected with editors, brands, and influencers, securing high-profile media coverage and partnerships.

• Hands-On Execution: While leadership is key, you must also be willing to roll up your sleeves and get involved in pitching and strategy when needed.

What We're Looking For

• A strategic PR leader with experience in lifestyle, consumer, or soft fashion PR.

• Proven track record of leading high-profile brand campaigns and securing top-tier media coverage and partnerships.

• Strong new business drive - able to win and convert new clients and scale the PR division.

• Creative thinker & problem solver, balancing brand storytelling, partnerships, and influencer collaborations.

• Someone who can rally the team, ignite enthusiasm, and lead both internally and externally.

Why Join?

• Huge opportunity to reshape and grow the PR division within a leading agency.

• Work with top-tier brands and create exciting, culturally relevant campaigns.

• Autonomy to build and develop a modern, high-impact PR offering.

This role is ideal for someone with vision, industry connections, and a commercial mindset to take ownership and turn this team into a powerhouse.
