Who are IDHL?
At IDHL, we’re more than a digital agency, we’re a strategic partner to ambitious brands, helping them accelerate growth in the digital economy.
Our expertise is delivered through three core divisions: Performance, Web & eCommerce, and Intelligence – all working closely together to create impact across channels.
We’re also home to Fostr, a Shopify Plus agency for luxury and lifestyle brands, and The MTM Agency, specialists in integrated marketing and audience engagement.
What connects it all is our focus on outcomes, not just outputs. We back each other, take pride in what we do, and make sure the way we work works for everyone.
Your role as Digital PR Account Executive
As a Digital PR Account Executive, you’ll play a key role in creating and pitching PR stories and reactive commentary designed to build brand awareness, authority and organic search visibility for clients.
Working within a PR team, you’ll collaborate closely with colleagues to secure high-quality online coverage, backlinks and brand mentions across relevant publications.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys combining creative thinking with research, copywriting, media outreach and report creation.
