Are you a gaming nut with a background in consumer PR? Do you adore getting coverage, winning new business and driving forward campaigns that win awards? If so, read on. We are working with a leading PR agency with a rapidly expanding consumer team, seeking a talented and proactive Senior Account Director to lead on exciting projects, spanning everything games, trains and dating websites.
Who They Are
This team works with some of the biggest names in gaming, technology and established consumer and lifestyle brands. They’ve forged a brilliant reputation delivering award-winning, creative campaigns as well as managing busy day-to-day press offices. While their work spans digital and influencer activity - their heartland is publicity and building brilliant relationships with the media. If getting coverage is your thing, this is a great place to work. The consumer team sits within a much bigger organisation, so you get all the advantages of a big agency, but with a small agency feel.
The agency as a whole spans the UK and US with over 200 employees.
Its diverse consumer client portfolio includes sectors like sports, gaming, consumer tech, travel, lifestyle, and more. Their work likes to push boundaries and the team is supportive, fun, down to earth and ambitious.
They value diversity highly, and believe that an inclusive workforce fosters creativity and innovation. But what truly sets them apart is their commitment to the team's well-being and development. They’re consistently recognized in PR Week's best places to work awards.
What We're Looking For
A passionate and experienced Senior Account Director with a deep understanding of the gaming sector and a background in consumer PR. You could come from an in-house or agency background, but it's crucial that you are a gaming expert, knowing the sector well enough to counsel clients and come up with impactful ideas that resonate with the community. Experience in travel, consumer tech, and lifestyle sectors is also highly valuable.
The agency is ambitious, so if you love the thrill of pitching for new business and collecting gongs at awards nights, this will be right up your street.
What You'll Be Doing
Day to day, you will manage accounts efficiently, lead client relationships, and drive strategic initiatives forward. Your responsibilities will include:
