Posted by AF Selection.

How many times do you think you smile during your working day? If it's a tad on the low side and you fancy being surrounded by people that are good natured, kind and fun, do read on. You'll also be joining a powerhouse of an agency that has never lost their grounded and humble approach and will give you the opportunity to create campaigns without restrictions and it's also worth noting that their work transcends different countries, audiences, channels, and formats.

The role:

This agency has a mega record of delivering buzz-worthy, and action-driving campaigns and initiatives, while placing work/life balance and the well-being of their team at the heart of everything they do. You'll also be surrounded by some seriously talented amd experienced people that will guide and develop you at every step of your journey.

You'll be working with some incredible consumer brands which sometimes cross over to the B2B space, and they do incredible work by raising the bar, and to be the best, they choose courage over comfort. This means you may be targeting B2B audiences on Instagram or cultivating conversations among lifestyle consumers through headlines, enableing them to seamlessly share a brand's full story, where its audience chooses to consume it.

You'll be key to developing and cultivating positive relationships with allocated clients, and their stakeholders/influencers such as media, third party constituencies, and current and prospective customers to convey key messages. You'll also participate in discussions with clients to understand PR, social and experiential briefs, as well as broader briefs involving other members of the network, which will see you work with some of the best creatives & planners in thus field.

You'll be in an environment where they expect the best from each other but strive for a culture of trust. They empower each another to be flexible and prioritize balance, mental well-being and physical health to enable them to do their best work. They care about their business, colleagues, and the communities in which they operate, which is why people stay for long periods.

What we're looking for

The role suits someone who loves the buzz of the industry and who gets a thrill from working with iconic brands, loves seeing your work zoom across different channels and in turn gives your client the presence it deserves.

Attitude and temperament is key in this role - this agency prioritises people that have a vested interest in working for a firm that is dynamic, diverse and without question, does not follow the norm. People learn in different ways so your experience can span across a few years, which must have been gained in a consumer PR agency environment where you have been delivering PR & digital campaigns. Extensive understanding and experience of social media platforms, trends, algorithms, and best practices is also important.

You'll also guide people at exec & senior exec level so it's also important you've had some experience at a managerial level, and you're happy somewhere which is inclusive of different voices, perspectives, and experiences, and believe they are stronger as a team where differences are celebrated.

What's on offer?

A salary of up to £35,000, plus a comprehensive benefits package with an emphasis on work/life balance & flexibility. There's also continuous professional development including internal and external coaching, well above average holiday entitlement, programme of wellbeing and sustainability focused activities, parental support and many more things that can ease the pressure and making your working life much easier.
