London, UK, United Kingdom Braver Full time

Is the thing that you love about working in the creative industry, the industry itself? Do you find yourself becoming friendly with industry writers and commentators, because it’s your favourite topic of conversation? Would you love to be working with top-tier marketing and creative businesses, from established global players, to innovative and disruptive startups, to help them succeed? Are you entrepreneurial, proactive, and most importantly while you take your work seriously, not necessarily yourself? If the answer to all these questions is yes, read on.


For over two decades, this agency has been at the forefront, blending the zest of a startup with the wisdom of seasoned professionals. With a non-hierarchical and open door culture, this is a group of colleagues who pull together to deliver the very best work they can.


About them:

Imagine a team fueled by boundless enthusiasm and unmatched expertise. They've partnered with renowned agencies and brands, shaping their narratives and building their reputations from the ground up. Their secret? A fusion of creativity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.


The Opportunity: Account Director

We're seeking an Account Director to join this dynamic but small team. This role is tailor-made for a leader who thrives on challenges, balancing managerial responsibilities with hands-on account management.


So what will you be doing?

  • Client Relations: Keep clients smiling by regularly checking in, addressing their concerns promptly, and offering support during client calls.
  • Client & Industry Knowledge: Stay informed about client-relevant topics and PR industry trends. Share insights and articles with the team to foster learning.
  • Media Relations: Pitch captivating stories to relevant media outlets, nurture relationships with key journalists, and maintain up-to-date press lists.
  • Writing: Craft compelling client comments, thought leadership pieces, and pitch emails. Provide feedback on content drafted by colleagues and brainstorm innovative content ideas.
  • Quarterly Reviews & Brainstorming: Facilitate internal brainstorming sessions, ensure scheduled quarterly reviews are completed, and allocate tasks efficiently.
  • New Business: Identify opportunities for organic growth, scout for potential new clients, and lead pitch development and client messaging sessions.
  • Team Management: Ensure team members understand their roles, monitor workloads, provide necessary training, and delegate tasks effectively.
  • Internal Development: Seek opportunities to enhance the brand's profile and that of team members through strategic initiatives.
  • Admin: Keep a finger on the pulse of each account's long-term plans. Stay updated on client messaging, ensuring the team is aligned with any changes.
  • Process Improvement: Identify areas for process enhancement, implement new procedures, and ensure adherence across the team.


Why this agency?

If you care about the development of your team, as well as your own, and want to have a real impact on the success of the business you work for, this could be a great opportunity. There are also some pretty great perks.


  • Career Growth: Monthly coaching sessions, personalized development plans, and access to top-notch training await
  • Perks: Enjoy a day off for your birthday, generous holiday allowance, and extra days off during the festive season - you might even get to go to Cannes
  • Flexibility: Work a 4.5-day week with Fridays off if tasks are complete, and spend only 3 days in the office.
  • Team Treats: Indulge in weekly team lunches on us - your choice, delivered straight to the office
  • Passion Projects: Receive an annual budget to explore new skills and interests.
  • Training: Take advantage of at least one paid training course per year to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Sabbatical: After four years, enjoy a paid month-long break to rejuvenate.
  • Wellness: Get £40 per month towards gym memberships or personal training sessions.
  • Giving Back: Take a day off each year to volunteer for a cause close to your heart.
  • Tech Perks: Receive up to £50 per month towards your mobile phone bill.
  • Competitive Salaries: Benchmarking against industry standards ensures you're fairly compensated.
  • Bonuses: Eligible for discretionary annual bonuses after one year of service.
  • Team Bonding: Regular outings and events keep the camaraderie alive


Responsibilities:

From overseeing accounts to spearheading new business initiatives, your role will be integral to the company’s success.
