Account Director (Consumer PR)

New role at an agency with creativity and entrepreneurialism in its DNA. The ideal place for someone that wants to work on great brands, but in a smaller agency where they can genuinely make a difference.

About the agency

Founded by a creative industry powerhouse, this agency of around 20 people has been shortlisted as a 'Best Place to Work' two years in a row thanks to its inclusive culture, personal development opportunities and approach to wellbeing. With a superb pitch-win ratio this year, their already impressive client portfolio has grown substantially and they're now hiring for several new positions across the business.

Culturally, the team is ambitious, nurturing and values integrity. They have never been and will never a sweat shop, they really care about individuals, and genuinely want them to progress, and they're not afraid to give true consultancy to clients (or to tell them no if they don't align with their own values).

They've just moved into lovely new offices in Soho in August, with the long term view of working a hybrid 3:2 model.

The Account Director role

The new Account Director will lead brand campaigns, drive motivation across the team, and work with the management team to keep the agency at the top of its game whilst also continuing its growth via new business. 

Client portfolio will include:

• A new consumer tech win for the agency, comprising of creative PR campaigns, media relations, social and influencer activity, corporate and issues management. The consumer element is very lifestyle focused and the corporate element focuses around sustainability and purpose. 
• One of the top Australian wine brands in the UK - a lovely account if you're into your wines!
• A household name energy client, focusing on their electrification / home & office charging 
• A well known high street bank - this agency is their consumer project lead, so lots of creative campaigns
