We are known in several industries thanks to our reputation for delivering outstanding results, long term client and staff retention, and generally being a great bunch to work with. We work with major British and European brands (several of which are B Corp) and have just added some amazing new ones to our portfolio.
About the role:
This role is suited for someone with a minimum of 1-2 years of PR Agency experience and a base level of media contacts across the lifestyle sector (such as food, outdoors, nationals, home interiors) and by joining our team you'll build more. You have already learnt the press office "ropes" and are ready to take your next step.
We will consider AE and SAE experience for this role:
* Researching and pitching ideas and stories for news stories for clients
* Meeting with journalists
* Keeping the account managers updated on media pitches and coverage results
* Working directly with clients, acting as a deputy for the account managers
* Managing product samples and arranging deliveries to journalists and influencers keeping detailed records

About You:
* Results: You have examples of editorial coverage that you’ve pitched

* Initiative: You do things without being asked and enjoy contributing ideas
* Strong writing and communication skills: being succinct and drafting creative copy, free from grammatical errors, will be a major part of the role

* Adaptable: You are adaptable to changing environments and flexible in your approach – a must when working across a broad spectrum of clients. You are able to take feedback on board quickly
* Organisational skills: Impeccable organisation skills and the ability to multi-task ensuring deadlines are met. You will have your own personal way of keeping organised that works for you.
* Enthusiasm: You aren’t afraid to use your initiative and contribute ideas – no matter how ‘out there’ you think they might be and have an enthusiasm for your work. Interpersonal skills are also key to building rapports with clients and journalists
