The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced publicist for a 12-month contract to cover a period of secondment. Joining a team of 4 to the Smart Hub campaigns team, you’ll will get to work with some of the most creative publishing colleagues in the business in a friendly and inclusive environment. You will be involved in every stage of the publishing process from early acquisitions meetings to devising and executing campaign plans and much more.

You can expect to:

  • Independently create, plan and drive strategic media and events campaigns for an array of titles across our non-fiction list,
  • Play an important role in the acquisition of new books, providing PR feedback in New Projects meetings and acquisitions, and contributing to and attending pitches to acquire new talent,

  • Communicate effectively with internal departments, including sales and marketing, editorial, rights and international colleagues, and
  • Maintain, develop and seek out new relationships with high-profile and influential stakeholders, such as media, bookshops and events partners

What you’ll bring

You’ll have a proven track record of independently producing standout publicity campaigns in a creative or media environment. With experience of creating and delivering successful strategic media campaigns that connect with audiences, you will be confident writing engaging press materials, organising and attending large scale events, and will be an enthusiastic networker with the media.

You’ll also:

  • Have excellent communication skills and be confident pitching and presenting internally and externally,
  • Be well networked with media contacts and be knowledgeable and curious about all forms of media and what turns the dial,
  • Be highly organised with excellent prioritisation to juggle concurrent campaigns with different lead times,
  • Demonstrate analytical ability and financial awareness for your campaigns with a close attention to budget, and
  • Think in innovative and creative ways to create buzz behind our book, always with your eye on the activity that truly drives book sales, finds new audiences and meets campaign objectives
