Company Description

We are Brazen - the most awarded PR agency outside London and PRWeek’s Best Agency Outside London.

We’re proudly ‘Not Made in Chelsea’ (our bold new callout to the industry’s London bubble.) No offence to SW3, but we’re not here to sip flat whites in Soho. We’re here for the other 87% of Britain; the brands, people and culture that don’t live in a posh London postcode but live in the real world. That’s where we play best.

Our clients come in all shapes and sizes and cross every consumer sector under the sun. Whether they’re market leaders or challenger brands looking to disrupt, they all have mass market appeal. So, it means we get everyday folks because we work with everyday household brands they love and trust.

We’re proudly employee‑owned, proudly Manchester‑based, and powered by 40 (ish) brilliantly bold creatives, strategists, news‑hounds and content obsessives. We don't do vanilla. We do JAWTOFLOOR® ideas, and we deliver them with heart, hustle and headline‑grabbing results.

We’re the firepower behind some of the UK’s most loved brands including S udocrem, Manchester Airport, Dr. Oetker, Baylis & Harding, wilko, The Range, Optical Express, Showcase Cinemas, Young’s Seafood, La Redoute, HotelFootball and many more.

• Proficiency in developing and executing content strategy
• Excellent understanding of social media platforms and trends
