About OGB
A comms agency with ambitions to be one of the most creative companies in the world. While we specialise in PR, social, influencer and events, our focus remains on ideas that change the game. We believe brands can be entertaining while adding value to the lives of their customers if they have the right partner agency who delivers creative ambition with attention to detail. These are the two points most important to us. Our independently minded business is part of Havas; a 22-location-strong holding company that shares our values.
We See It Through
- We Step Up and Stay Close
- We Trust Judgement and Act with Courage
- We Have Fun All the Way
Are you a creative problem solver? If you’ve ever made a world book day costume, planned a surprise party or have a passion for the creative world around us, OGB might just be a place for you.
The Role
You're the fresh energy, the organisational whiz, and the ultimate support system. Think of yourself as the future of OGB, learning the ropes and absorbing everything from the best in the business. Your mission: keep the plates spinning, soak up knowledge, and become indispensable to your team and our clients. You're the engine, learning to navigate the fast lane.
We're looking for an enthusiastic Account Executive who will support senior account leads in delivering integrated PR, social media and content campaigns for our consumer clients. You'll be the organisational backbone of your accounts, ensuring smooth delivery while developing your skills across client servicing, project management, media relations and creative thinking.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners, build your career foundations, and contribute to award-winning work that drives real commercial impact for brands.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
