AD or SAD - strategic UK & global brand PR, including fascinating social purpose activity

This highly respected strategic communications consultancy boasts a client list that any global agency would be proud of. It excels at bringing a particularly consultative and intelligent approach to consumer PR and is now looking to recruit a first rate Account Director or Senior Account Director.

'Strategy’ is a term banded around a lot in the industry, but this agency definitely sits at the strategic end of the consumer PR spectrum. As such, the ability to combine strong analysis, strategic thinking and planning, with powerful creativity is a must.

The emphasis is very much on delivering strategic brand campaigns with personality and developing world-class brand narratives and stories. You will be joining a team whose activity is driven as much by influencer engagement campaigns and content development as it is traditional media relations. You will get exposure to a mix of UK and global consumer PR for the agency's flagship brands, including fascinating, creative campaigns around those brands' social purpose activity.

Unlike in some agencies, the team is relatively lean at the more senior levels. As such the expectations at Account Director level are high, but so too are the opportunities for ownership and growth.

Desired skills and experience include:
- experience in developing sophisticated and strategic client proposals, ensuring the work is always bespoke and of a high quality
- experience working as part of integrated agency teams to ensure that PR takes a lead role in cross discipline strategic planning, and have the ability to demonstrate value of this model to clients
- a strong track record in UK consumer PR and media relations work, but now want to focus on developing and critiquing strategic brand campaigns on both a UK and global level
- intellectually curious
- comfortable giving strategic counsel to senior clients
- the ability to inspire and coach teams to deliver strategic and creative work
- experience in being part of pitch processes and identifying organic growth opportunities across accounts
- a strong grasp of commercials and forecasting

- comfortable giving strategic counsel to senior clients

This is a non-hierarchical agency that is passionate about encouraging personal development and creating a working environment in which its people truly enjoy coming to work.
