Job Details

CommsCo’s mission is to support brands that want to be disruptive through agility, technology or smart thinking. ‘Challenger’ PR is how we describe what we do. We steal media mindshare for scaleup brands, and exploit every significant opportunity to get you on your audience’s radar.

We help our clients differentiate from competitors and stand out in crowded markets, or create a category for themselves. With knockout campaigns generating coverage everywhere from Forbes to the BBC, and recognised by B2B Marketing’s Top 20 UK B2B PR Agencies, we are a small UK agency making a big name for ourselves.

About the role:

The primary focus of the role of the Account Manager is to manage a portfolio of clients within the PR and social media team. This will include drafting of content, media liaison, client liaison and identifying opportunities to drive the campaigns forward, as well as engaging across all social media channels. The candidate will have a solid grasp of what makes a good and exciting story and be familiar with drafting a variety of content.

It is expected that this role would evolve with the right candidate, to encompass more key elements of PR account management, client management and new business development.

The successful candidate will have significant experience as well as a clear interest for developing their career in PR. With working with CommsCo, content creation will form a fundamental part of what you do in your daily work; therefore, the ability and awareness to write for different audiences is essential within this field.

The Ethos at CommsCo is to employ intelligent, exciting and enthusiastic team players with initiative, passion and drive. This role will be based at the company’s Kew (London) office, most likely 2-3 days per week. The successful candidate will work with the current team to manage a growing client base located in the UK, Europe and the US.
