PR Senior Account Director – Consumer, Drinks

About the agency

This creative communications agency has spent over 15 years making brands stand out – but in recent years, their focus has sharpened. Led by two long-standing directors with a decade’s experience each, they’ve embraced what they’re truly passionate about: creating smart, emotive, trend-led campaigns for drinks brands people actually care about.

While drinks is their calling card, their project work spans wellness and lifestyle too – giving the team variety, while keeping creative thinking fresh. As part of a wider group of 130 specialists across PR, social, experiential and design, they combine the energy of a small independent with the backing and expertise of a bigger network.

The culture? Ambitious but warm. High standards, yet a genuine sense of care – for the work, the clients, and each other. Their motto says it all: give a sht and pack up proud*.
