OVERVIEW
At BLUE, we empower brands to drive true sustainability. Ground-breaking developments in the energy transition and renewables, clean technology, digitalisation, automation, artificial intelligence, and blockchain are transforming the marine and energy sectors, creating unparalleled challenges and opportunities. We help clients navigate these changes from a place of passion and positivity, not fear. That’s why we’re trusted to work at board level, solving commercial and reputational challenges and identifying new opportunities for growth and engagement.
Since 2008, BLUE has championed the true sustainability agenda across the blue and green economies, helping clients communicate how they’re not only meeting their obligations to the environment, but also to their clients, shareholders, employees, and society. We understand that being truly sustainable and driving growth means navigating complex and difficult decisions. Our three specialist practices collaborate seamlessly to help clients address these challenges and effectively communicate progress.
We put intelligence at the heart of everything we do; the data and insights we use to inform our approach, our deep industry knowledge, the inspiration and creativity behind our engagement, and the quality of our people. Together, our integrated approach ensures clients build sustainable brands, grow revenue and enterprise value, pioneer innovation, and ignite meaningful transformation.
A PR Week Top 150 consultancy, BLUE is continuously expanding its team of motivated, intelligent, and dynamic communications professionals. We are looking for an ambitious account manager to support the day-to-day delivery of world-class PR services to BLUE’s global portfolio of clients.
