Job description

PR Account Executive / Account Manager | Up to £32k | Dorset / Hybrid

Do you live and breathe PR? Want to be part of a team that shares the same passion as you? Have the opportunity to work on national campaigns and projects with great brands?

If you do, keep reading.

The Business

One of the longest‑standing PR firms across the South‑East, with a strong reputation and loyal client base, this business is looking to bolster its team once again.

As a PR agency, they are responsible for protecting their clients’ brand and reputation, whilst also strengthening their voice and telling their stories.

PR can be seen to be very traditional; they’re the complete opposite.

Always looking at ways to innovate, be onboard with tech and trends whilst being at the forefront of employee satisfaction and fulfilment.

The Position

As a PR Account Exec, you’ll be responsible for the day‑to‑day client management of specific clients, working with them to overcome challenges and execute deliverables.

You’ll be the main point of contact for your accounts and, on others, you’ll be part of the delivery team, so this role is both client management and execution.

We’re looking for someone who wants to remain in a delivery role whilst continuing to learn and work with clients on a strategic front.

For this type of role, we’re looking for specific PR experience, not overall marketing experience with a touch on PR. We need someone who is dedicated to the industry.

Agency experience is preferred but not a deal breaker.

Benefits

• Hybrid – Two days a week in the office
• Real career progression
• Paid training memberships and accreditations
• Seaside view office with sport equipment free to use in the summer!
• Regular team socials
• Quarterly outings
• Birthdays off
• Christmas shutdown – no need to book it off!
• Wellbeing budget
• Dog‑friendly office
