Job Details

Are you a savvy type who is looking and ready for a new challenge!? This highly exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Associate / Director to join a thriving and exciting small agency of approx. 30 people.  The agency has tier 1 clients on their books, both retained and project work which keeps daily life interesting.  They have won awards for varying areas of expertise, have a great collaborative team, immense support from the industry and deliver brilliant creative work both within the UK and globally.  

This role would suit a big personality, who has a voice, who is a natural leader with a strategic mind and confidence to work with clients who need guidance and honesty!  You will come from a London PR agency (or past/current experience would include London), have knowledge of the cultural ‘new things’ in and around London and the UK, and be a leader who has passion and a genuine interest in helping to grow and develop this agency which is similar to a large family – without the bickering! 

So, what do you need skill set wise?

  • Global - you will ideally have global toolkit experience as one client has a specific focus for the emerging markets, therefore you will work with the global territories as well as the UK media.  
  • Budget management - you will have managed budgets of up to £80-100k a month (sole client or accumulatively), these clients are not small! 
  • Team management – being a Senior Associate/Director yourself, you will be expected to have extensive team management experience.  You will be part of the senior management team as well as being responsible for your direct reports on a daily basis – the team is smart, inquisitive, savvy and always pushing boundaries so a natural leader is needed for this role. 
  • New business – you will need to have a natural passion for new business – the founders are extremely good at networking and creating leads and pitches, though help at the senior end is always required, appreciated and rewarded!
  • Strategic thinking – when working with these leading brands, your strategy building expertise is imperative, keeping in mind the brands vision and objectives.
  • Social / digital – you absolutely need to be on top of your game with social and digital as a whole.  One client is a social led business therefore this skill set is imperative.
  • BIG consumer brands – your experience of working with large consumer brands is of the upmost importance for this role.  

The clients:

There are three main clients this hire will immediately be responsible for. They are HUGE brands.  They are very consumer led brands, are all lifestyle and all extremely exciting!!  

  • Client one; a retained entertainment, consumer tech brand – however, the focus and vision is very consumer lifestyle focused.  You do not need to have consumer tech experience and ultimately preferred by the agency not to an expert in this field, as you will bring a fresh, big consumer vision to the client which is desired.  
  • Client two; A social led client that is looking for creativity to stir news….who wants the natural user to be talked about to create a storm, a following that creates PR.
  • Client three; a global consumer mobile brand looking for continued strength in the emerging markets, therefore knowledge, interest and experience of global work would be welcomed for this client, but also with UK and European exposure. 

This role is one to explore if you are at all excited and curious having read the above! Please email me with your CV to discuss in further detail! Many thanks!
