We’re on the hunt for a
Senior Account Executive who is passionate about consumer PR, influencer campaigns and is excited by the world of consumer tech.
We’re looking for someone who loves the thrill of media relations - from selling in news stories, picture stunts, brand campaigns, or placing product reviews, you’ll have the right media contacts in consumer tech, as well as lifestyle publications (you’ll know how to make consumer tech relatable to the every day) to make a story or product convert to column inches / online news sites.
You’ll be a pro at switching from press office actions to jumping into campaigns - from getting the latest kit into the right media/influencer hands over launch, to writing a news release about the latest consumer trend. And you’ll throw yourself into new business too - helping with research, idea generation, and even getting in the room to pitch from time to time, demonstrating your earned media skills.
You’ll enjoy working in a close-knit, collaborative team while benefiting from the resources and opportunities that come with the backing of a global agency group. If you’re proactive, hungry, creative, and ready to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.

- You have your finger on the pulse of culture, social trends and the media landscape, sharing articles of interest and movers, shakers and updates with your team
- You’re passionate about the tech world - from web cams to dash cams - and have previous experience working with consumer tech brands and media
Client management - You build rapport with your clients, listening carefully to their requests
- Manage client reviews and approvals on documents or before the commencement of any work
- Recording all client meetings, key conversations and decisions in call notes or contact reports

- Show proactivity when it comes to client and internal work: you think one step ahead at all times
- You’re solutions-focused; making recommendations and coming to your managers with resolutions, rather than problems
Creativity - Seek to make an active contribution to the creative briefing and idea development process
- Conducting research into our clients or markets to inform creative development on your accounts
Account delivery - You’re informed of the status of all retained and campaign/project activity, keeping everyone informed of progress and producing status reports
