Fight or Flight – PR Account Executive – B2B Tech/ Corporate

About the agency:

Introducing Fight or Flight – the 4th fastest-growing PR agency in the world and PRCA’s Small consultancy of the year 2022. They’re growing rapidly, winning big names and on the hunt for brilliant creative talent to join their team – better known as “Foffers”.

Launched during the pandemic by 3 ex Weber Shandwick employees, this agency is growing at an unstoppable rate. Since 2020, the Fight or Flight team has grown from three co-founders to 30 full-time employees in their Soho (London) and Times Square (New York) offices.  

On an inspired mission to disrupt the B2B market, Fight or Flight was born to help B2B brands turn heads, raise pulses, and make headlines – why should consumer brands get all the fun?

From the multi-award winning “Dress Release” campaign for a fabric printing company (where they printed a press release onto a dress) to working closely with Janine Chamberlin, LinkedIn, to drive conversation around destigmatising maternity leave in leadership – Fight or Flight work with an eclectic mix of campaigns for bold clients. 

There’s some magic in their  bold approach to B2B comms – it demands attention, creates conversation and wins awards. This is why in just 3 years of operation, they’ve won Nokia, LinkedIn, Trainline, Sky Connect, and Flipdish to name just a few.
