PR Senior Account Manager / Account Director – Consumer

About the agency

It’s a hard task to describe how one agency is different from another. Many agencies are strategic, creative and deliver compelling work. Sometimes it’s just that little bit of magic that makes an agency stand out, and this agency has that. 

They’ve got one of the best client rosters in town, have grown at a phenomenal rate and most importantly are independent. It’s this independence which makes them an award winner – they can be creative, invest in new services and be flexible without the pressure of a head office telling them how to manage their P&L.

This is an agency where you’ll do work on some of the biggest and most exciting consumer brands and produce career-defining work. 

PR shouldn’t be a dirty word, and at this agency, it isn’t. They’re a Clean-Creatives-approved PR agency, meaning they don’t take briefs from fossil fuel companies. You’ll always use your creativity for good. 

Benefits & Culture

Whether it’s for their outstanding creative campaigns or best-in-class agency culture, they’re easily one of the most awarded PR agencies in the UK (and in our opinion, one of the best places for your PR career). From PRWeek, PRCA and PRmoment awards to D&AD Pencils and Cannes Lions, this is not only a great place to work, but a place where you’ll do great work.
