Closing date for applications: Sunday 4th August at 11.59pm
Salary: £27,500 plus bonus and benefits
Want to join an award-winning PR team who work with leading children's brands and the world's best authors? Are you great with people, highly-organised and full of initiative? Our award-winning Children's PR team is seeking an enthusiastic and extremely well-organised Publicity Assistant to work across its outstanding portfolio of books and brands.
Each day is guaranteed to be varied: from scheduling meetings and liaising with other departments and media to assisting publicists with their campaigns and events.
In this exciting role, you'll gain invaluable PR experience, a wide understanding of the publishing process and you'll get the opportunity to work closely with a variety of departments. You will learn first-hand how we approach and execute PR campaigns, drive demand, run events and create magic. We pride ourselves on innovation and put our readers at the heart of everything we do.
Our marketing and PR teams are organised into three audience-focussed hubs (across Pre-School, Primary and YA). We are the UK's no.1 children's publisher, home to Puffin and Ladybird, and some of the most recognised entertainment brands, authors and illustrators, including: Peppa Pig, Bluey, Peter Rabbit, The Snowman, Eric Carle, Roald Dahl, Jeff Kinney, Adam Kay, Tom Fletcher, Robin Stevens, Nadia Shireen and Jacqueline Wilson. We also launch talented new rising stars, including Nathan Bryon, Dapo Adeola, Nazneen Ahmed Pathak, Katie Kirby, and Manjeet Mann. Our Penguin YA list includes bestselling authors such as Malorie Blackman, Karen McManus, Phillip Pullman, Jenny Han and Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
You don't need to have set foot in a publishing house before to grab our attention, but a passion to work with children's brands is essential. You will be a team player, able to keep things running smoothly in a fast-paced environment when your colleagues are juggling various priorities. You'll be proactive in your work and will always be looking for new ways to work more efficiently and effectively. Knowing your way around Microsoft Office is also important.
