Job Details

Are you a 'foodie'?  Do you love to try new restaurants, recipes and food trends? Do you know the movers and shakers in the world of food and drink?  IF the answer if YES to all three of these, then this career-defining role will suit you down to the ground. 

I'm looking for an experienced PR with a passion for food to lead the food, drink and hospitality team of a lovely independent agency that continues to grow.  Having launched five years ago, it is already 25-strong, has won several awards and has recently launched a sister-company.  Such is their success, they now need a senior player to lead one of their teams.

You'll be pleased to know that the clients aren't your run-of-the-mill brands; these are luxury companies from drinks and champagne brands, artisan food offerings to trendy eateries.  Brands the media love to hear about and which are leading food and drinks trends all over the world. 

The agency is a lovely place to work; quite relaxed, very grown up and respectful to its employees and everyone seems to collaborate well.  It's a hive of activity and certainly fast-paced but employee satisfaction is high and turnover low.  They are also a sociable bunch if that interests you.

Your role, reporting into one of the Directors will see you:

  • Leading three of the clients in the team 
  • Managing five direct reports; identifying training and development needs
  • Delivery the planning and strategy
  • Managing team budgets 
  • Overseeing all activations 
  • Providing direction for media relations and well as pitching to senior media

You'll need to have:

  • Around seven years pr agency, ideally agency side
  • Experience of running fmcg or more discrete food and beverage clients
  • Excellent media contacts across national and specialist titles
  • Good influencer contacts and digital nouse
  • Team leadership experience - and a passion to get the best out of your team
  • Brilliant communications skills
  • Experience of new business pitching.
