Creative Strategist

A rare opportunity has arisen for a Creative Strategist to join one of the UK's top consumer PR agencies working on earned media campaigns

This multi-award-winning company is recognised as one of the UK's top ranking PR agencies. Based between London and NYC, they're a 70-strong team of earned media specialists, delivering campaigns across consumer, corporate, digital and broadcast.
