Founded in 2005 DMC PR is an ever-evolving, boutique PR agency with a reputation for delivering exceptional coverage for brands across the broad and desirable spectrum that is the ‘consumer lifestyle’ sector – think food, fitness, beauty, consumer tech, wellness, interiors and design.
And in return you will be part of an agency that cares about being the best – valuing quality over quantity.
Our current clients are a mixture of British, Scandi and global brands. Names include the leading Swedish heritage adventure brands Silva and Primus; B Corps such as Blueair (Swedish consumer tech brand) and ProCook (cookware retailer with 60+ UK stores); leading Danish furniture brand, JYSK; the UK’s fastest growing fresh Italian food and restaurant brand, Pasta Evangelists; There is never a dull moment and when we’re not busy launching the latest innovative product, delicious seasonal menu, or opening a new store, we’re out and about meeting with clients and running events in London, further afield in the UK, and even internationally. In the last few months our team has travelled to Berlin and Valencia and has hosted several large PR events, lunches and trips. Many clients work with us on influencer campaigns too – from year-long UGC projects to celebrities, athletes and key opinion leaders. Fun fact – we’re finalists in the 2025 ITV bCreator™ awards for Best Lifestyle Campaign.

As a PR Account Manager at DMC PR, you’ll be the behind some of our most exciting client campaigns. You’ll lead accounts day-to-day, build trusted relationships with clients, and craft smart, strategic communications that make headlines.
Developing and delivering PR strategies and results that are aligned with client goals and expectations

Preparing and creating top quality press materials
Broadcast is a bonus
A big part of account management is having trust and confidence in your own decision-making and an ability to be vocal and heard.
An ability to use critical, lateral and fresh thinking – we need new ideas and we need them often. Some commercial understanding of ‘what things cost’ is a must.
