•client and media liaison
•monitor the media for client opportunities
•work as part of an account team to implement PR programmes
•research, write and pitch press releases to targeted media
•collate, analyse and evaluate media coverage
•develop and implement creative campaigns that cross PR, content and digital media
•undertake research for new business proposals
