Due to incredibly exciting new business wins, our PR team is growing, which means we're on the lookout for an established PR Account Director to deliver award-winning work with us.
You’ll use your prowess to deliver fame building campaigns and effective earned media results for some of the UK’s most well-known brands. From bars to banks, and homes to hospitality, your enviable portfolio will allow you to work with a raft of highly talented McCann specialists who will help you hone your skills in strategy, creativity and much more.
You’ll be a collaborative colleague who enjoys the challenge of developing and implementing sector leading work and embracing new ideas that push clients to achieve more. As part of the world’s most effective and creative agency network, we’ll give you all the support you need to be brave, to shine and to succeed in your PR career and beyond.
Why would you want to work here?
McCann Birmingham is part of McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.
We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.
And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we’ve got including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central’s haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards. So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.
We’re a team of passionate creatives, strategists and engineers from a wide mix of backgrounds. But there’s a lot that unites us – like caring deeply about everything we make. And though our skillsets are wide and our process knowledge is deep, we are all still learning every day.
Responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:
1. Understanding the changing media landscape, including digital
2. Using the latest PR tools and techniques
3. Understanding the latest content and editorial trends
4. Developing strategic PR and social programmes
5. Delivering outstanding and commercially relevant results
6. Building great relationships with clients and providing sound consultancy
7. Leading client teams
8. Engaging with other specialist teams across the agency
9. Measuring impact and effectiveness
This role is the perfect opportunity to develop your skills alongside our award-winning and multi-disciplinary PR and Social team. If this sounds like you and you’re ready to take your career to the next level, let’s talk.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to buy more holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
If you want to join an iconic network agency that offers you the chance to work on one of the top clients in our portfolio & the opportunity to progress your career with an unrivalled development programme, contact us now. And not through a recruiter, please.
Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
