Creative PR Lead

About The Job

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.

Here are some of the key traits we’re looking for:

  • A track record of executing PR campaign creative that is impossible to ignore.
  • 7+ years of agency experience, taking ideas and turning them into creative executions across multiple platforms
  • A leader who inspires creativity, is responsible for exceptional design and brings concepts to life from pitch deck to execution
  • Proactive at all stages, from initial ideation and pitching to getting stuck into production – we’re not the biggest agency in the world (nor do we want to be), but you’ll have a truly talented team around you.

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.

Everyone works best in different ways – and we want to bring the best out of our team whenever we can. So, while we love working collaboratively and have arranged working days from our Manchester base, we offer flexibility when it comes to remote working. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll make it happen.

What are your company benefits?

We’re still new, so we’re always discovering new benefits that are important to our team. Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, so wellbeing is massive to us, driving our decisions when it comes to benefits. As it stands, we offer a generous pension scheme and half days on Fridays – but we are always open to hearing about what’s important to you.

Can I get training and personal development plans?

Short answer: yes. We tailor training around you, helping you learn about what you want to learn about, and developing into the positions you want to develop into. If it’s important to you, we’ll give you the training.

Will I get the equipment I need?

Yes, we’ll give you everything you need to get the job done. All you need to bring is your imagination. And maybe some baked goods every once in a while. That’d be nice.

What’s your culture like?

We’re working hard to create a culture where everyone thrives. This means no hierarchy, an employee-first mindset and at least three knock-knock jokes cracked a day. Don’t like jokes? Want more after-work pub trips? Fancy a weekly book/games/beer/music club? Let us know – we want our employees to help us build the culture they’re after.
