PR Account Director – Consumer

About the agency

This boutique consumer communications agency, founded by two highly respected industry leaders, delivers integrated, high-impact campaigns across PR, social, and influencer marketing. 

They are true innovators. They’re launching a dedicated events arm that is already gaining immense traction with major global brands. They also pride themselves on being an AI-first agency that has developed a proprietary AI tool designed to automate repetitive tasks and enhance productivity, which is slated to launch as a standalone tech product in late 2026.

Their client portfolio is a dynamic mix of high-profile consumer accounts. They have a track record of heavy-hitting campaigns, from launching a major global dating app in the Australian market to driving record-breaking attendance (with a reach of over 104M) for a premier national women’s sporting event. Their diverse client roster also spans top-tier brands in the automotive, home furniture, baby products, dental care, and fund management sectors.

Benefits & Culture

This agency prides itself on a culture entirely devoid of micromanagement and red tape. As a growing independent business, they offer a unique, close-knit environment where every team member is trusted with autonomy, encouraged to bring fresh ideas to the table, and given the opportunity to genuinely shape the future of the agency alongside the founders. 

• Hybrid & Flexible Working: 4 days in their office (Fridays WFH), with flexibility when you need an extra day at home.
• Autonomy: A flat structure with zero micromanagement – you are trusted to lead, make decisions, and have a real voice in the business.
• Rapid career progression: Growth comes through hands-on mentorship from the founders and meaningful stretch opportunities, rather than unnecessary corporate hierarchy.

• High impact: Leave your mark by helping to scale a tight-knit team and playing a key role in their newly launching events and tech ventures.
