Job Description

We’re looking for a strategic, curious and collaborative comms professional to join a fast-growing PR agency working with some of the UK’s most exciting brands. You’ll play a key role in delivering smart, culturally relevant, media-focused campaigns across a mix of consumer, corporate and B2B accounts.

Whether you’re a Senior Account Manager looking for a new exciting role, or you’re ready to step up or maybe you’re a current Account Director looking for a new creative challenge, this is a brilliant opportunity to work with a supportive team that values good ideas, strong media instincts and solid counsel.

About the agency

This is a modern, media-focused agency that works with startups, scaleups and category challengers. They combine smart strategic thinking with high-impact storytelling and have built a reputation for results-first work that earns attention and drives change. The team is known for its down-to-earth culture, flat structure and commitment to doing things properly without the politics or posturing.

You’ll work across a mix of consumer, corporate and B2B briefs, and while experience across all three is ideal, they’re equally open to someone who excels in one or two areas with an appetite to learn.

About the role

You’ll be a trusted day-to-day lead across several client accounts, helping to shape strategy, run campaigns and land great coverage. You’ll help manage and mentor junior team members, bring energy to brainstorms and have a hand in new business.

It’s a role that balances strategy and delivery. You’ll need a solid grounding in media relations, campaign planning and client management, and the ability to turn smart thinking into clear action.

You’ll need to be:

  • An experienced PR consultant, either a solid SAM or newer AD with relevant agency experience
  • A strong writer, media hound and confident communicator
  • Comfortable working across consumer and/or corporate and B2B clients
  • Commercially aware, with a good handle on budgets, scopes and the value of great delivery
  • A motivating team player who enjoys mentoring and collaboration
  • Curious about culture, trends and innovation, always up for pushing things forward
  • Someone who cares about doing the work properly, and doing right by your team and clients

What’s on offer:

  • A genuinely collaborative and supportive team environment
  • Hybrid working in central London
  • Personal development budget and structured growth plan
  • The chance to do standout, creative PR for forward-thinking brands
  • A values-led team that cares about culture, inclusion and impact

Interested?

If the role sounds good, we’d love to hear from you, whether you’ve got the full mix of experience or are brilliant in one area and keen to grow in others.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply. The agency enters the PR Week Pay Gap project and cares deeply about equal opportunities and creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.

We will aim to get back to as many applicants as possible. However if you haven’t heard from us in seven days, your application has not been successful this time.

Darain Faraz

Darain’s aversion to confined spaces took root during a fateful screening of ‘Buried,’ a film that immerses its audience in the gripping horror of a man awakening to find himself entombed alive. This intense fear of tight space has left an indelible mark on him. Beyond his mild-claustrophobic tendencies, Darain is also Co-founder of People Like Us, and former Director of Marketing at jobs behemoth LinkedIn internationally. Before his decade+ at LinkedIn, he resided in Australia where he ran comms for WWF’s Earth Hour, and MySpace (remember them?). He’s a regular on Marketing Week + PR Week top 100, has won a raft of industry recognition including the coveted Cannes Lions. But he’s more than his titles and his accolades, he’s a die-hard Kylie Minogue fan too. He has three lively kids and lives in Fiji (yup, you read that right). He also likes to take his shirt off at regular intervals (check out his ‘gram… or better still – don’t).

Mike Levaggi

What could be scarier than being stuck in a toilet cubicle with a wasp nest? Not much for our founder Mike (maybe having his face on a website) but definitely not making our industry fairer. He’s a northerner with Irish and Italian roots. In his 15 years in PR, he’s been a Senior Director of Assembly, head of consumer comms at Snap and a tech & gaming lead at Hope&Glory PR, winning over 50 industry awards. He’s also a former recruiter, the founder of the One Percent diversity initiative and co-founder of the PR Week Pay Gap Project. He’s been called a lot of things, but he’d call himself a problem solver. 

Sheeraz Gulsher

Sheeraz has both a fear and deep fascination of life after death. To face it, he’s taking solace by learning about the origin of world religions and reading the (not so) comforting words of many philosophers. Bit deep, but he’ll be fine, we promise.

Beyond his flirting with existential crises, Sheeraz is co-founder of People Like Us, the award winning non-profit that celebrates and supports professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in journalism, PR and the creative industries. Sheeraz is also an award winning PR professional with over a decade of experience both in-house at Snapchat and Sky, and at agencies including Hope&Glory and PrettyGreen. Sheeraz is a passionate campaigner for equal pay for ethnically diverse working professionals in the UK. He will often mention the one time someone said his celebrity lookalike is Riz Ahmed but in actual fact, he looks more like Bruno Fernandes (minus the sass). Top geezer all round.
