Junior Account Director/ Account Director, B2B PR for advertising, media, creative and digital agencies.

This is the perfect role for someone looking to hone their management and leadership skills, but who still wants to roll-up their sleeves and do hands-on account work. You will join a team 11 (and growing) and will play an active part in the management of the agency, gaining exposure to all aspects of the business – from new business to building their employer brand - in a way that would not be possible at a bigger agency. You will have a pivotal role to play in the life and direction of the business and will retain your own clients. There is plenty of scope for overseas work, as every year a team takes clients to Cannes Lions alongside events ranging from Advertising Week New York to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain oversight into long term plans on each account
• Ensure client messaging is regularly reviewed and updated, ensure team is aware of any changes to messaging/client focus
• Pitch news, features, interviews etc to relevant media as needed
• Build and maintain relationships with key journalist from key publications
• Draft client comments, thought leadership, pitch emails etc as needed
• Develop ideas for client content, taking into account wider industry themes
• Ensure all team members are aware of their responsibilities
• Provide/request training to team as required
• Identify organic growth opportunities to sell in additional activity to clients
• Identify new business prospects
• Develop pitches for additional activity on existing account and for new clients

Benefits include:

Hybrid working (2-3 days in the office), 25 days holiday and off between Christmas and New Year, training and career development, 4.5 day week gym/wellbeing allowance. Competitive salaries and discretionary annual bonus.
