About Us
We’re Bottled Imagination – the creative digital PR agency based in Manchester producing some of the most talked about campaigns in the UK right now. We’ve picked up awards at PR Week, PR Moments, UK Search, UK Digital PR and UK Content Awards and we’re just getting started. We’ve been the “best new agency” and now we just want to be “the best”.
We’re looking for a creative PR lead to drive our creative output and help us deliver imaginative (it is in the name, after all), award-winning PR campaigns for our range of B2C and B2B clients.
This is an opportunity to lead, disrupt, and execute what truly great PR creative looks like. If you’re up for the challenge, let’s talk.
What we are looking for
We’re searching for a Creative PR Lead who thinks big, moves fast, and isn’t afraid to do things a little differently. As a challenger agency, we’re competing (and winning) against the biggest names in the industry because we’re proving we’re more creative. Now, we need someone to own our creative execution and lead from the front.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
