PR Account Executive – Consumer

About the agency

Here Be Dragons is a fiercely independent PR agency built on earned-first ideas, punchy activations and campaigns that make headlines for all the right reasons. They are not limited by industry, and while the world of earned media is their bread and butter, they also frequently use influencers, OOH and social-first content to secure headline-grabbing results for brands. 

They’re 15 people strong, based in Shoreditch, and proud of the fact that they win big brand work without the bloat of a big network agency. They’ve made 2026 their strongest year yet – and now they’re looking for a sharp, culturally plugged-in Account Executive to join the team and help shape what’s next.

From launching headline-grabbing brand stunts to delivering fast-turnaround culture-first campaigns, their work spans some of the most talked-about names in FMCG, drinks, entertainment and hospitality. You won’t find the client list here – but if you’ve seen it in the news or on your feed lately, there’s a good chance they were behind it. With a mix of retained accounts and punchy project work, no two weeks look the same – and that’s exactly how they like it.

Benefits

• 25 days holiday + Christmas closure + Bank Holidays
• Dragon Club: quarterly perks for living the agency values (FaceGym, Selfridges Vouchers, annual trip to Spain)
• Subscription to Calm and Self Space credits for wellbeing
• Breakfast Mondays, Art Pass and cultural team days out
• Bonus scheme and ad hoc rewards
