You’ll be passionate about the media, trending content and cultural affairs and looking to begin your career in PR earning coverage and links from high-tier media.
Your responsibilities in the role will include working alongside PR managers and executives on PR campaign strategies- from press office and reactive PR to campaign-led PR. Within this, you’ll partake in campaign ideation for our brands as well as working on campaign outreach for our clients. This includes owning journalist relationships for enterprise size clients.
What you’ll do
Our client base spans a large pool of industries meaning no two days will look the same for you.
We work with clients of all sizes across home and interior, property, fashion and beauty, finance and legal, travel, leisure and tourism, healthcare, consumer electronics and jewellery – to name a few.
You will be mapped to two to four clients (size dependent) but will retain exposure to the wider pool of industries - to put any relevant sector knowledge and interests to good use – regardless of your client mapping.
This is what your day-to-day will look like:
- Getting hands-on with the basics of digital PR - supporting onsite content, influencer activity, and reactive ideas.
- Learning how different teams (design, content, SEO, social) help bring PR campaigns to life.
- Keeping an eye on what’s happening in the news and online culture and sharing anything interesting that could spark ideas.
- Helping PR Managers and Execs with early-stage campaign tasks - research, idea development, and general support.
- Building media lists and learning how to identify the right journalists for different stories.
- Supporting outreach activity and gaining confidence in pitching stories to media.
- Writing short, clear pieces of content - from pitch lines to basic press release sections - with guidance from the team. This role requires a lot of writing and so you’ll be a talented writer who can write with minimal to no grammatical mistakes and with the right training, sell a story into the media.
- Taking feedback positively and using it to grow your skills quickly.
