(PUBLISHER)

Account Executive

Salary range

£21k - £24k DOE

ARE YOU THE NEXT BOTTLER?

With an increasingly online world, brands can’t rely on being at the top of peoples’ tongues. They need to be at their fingertips too. We call this fame and findability.  Our digital PR stories bring our clients’ brands one link closer to their potential customers. We work across consumer brands like Rowse Honey, and Gousto as well as business orientated firms like Drax (renewable energy), Biffa and The Music License. 

We are digitally led, thrive on original ideas, and we’re growing. Which is why we need another ‘lightning catcher’ to join us. We do things differently. We call our account executives ‘publishers’ and our account directors ‘editors’. They craft narratives and campaigns, working with our in-house content designers, to deliver results across all earned channels (social, digital pr, onsite content, influencers). We prize imaginative, brand-led, emotionally engaging ideas that make our clients’ stories reach further. We don’t use language such as ‘press office’ or ‘reputation management’. We build frequency, authority and distinctiveness for our clients. 

 

Main responsibilities

We’re looking for an account executive to work across an exciting range of accounts crossing business and consumer sectors. Your role will include:

  • Hunting for stories in newsroom

  • Fostering lifelong relationships with journalists and pitching

  • Feeding into digital story planning

  • Creating fast-paced daily reactive content

  • Managing social media channels 

  • Engaging with influencers

No two days are the same: you’ll be developing story ideas, attending broadcast days, analysing how far your stories have reached and working hard to increase their impact. 

The ideal candidate will be creative, intellectually curious and fun to be around. You must have a passion for brand communications in earned media. You may not have all the core skills yet, but we’d love to hear from you if you’re a fast learner, super organised and love to write.

 

More of what we can offer you

  • Hybrid working as standard, 3 days in office in Oxford, 2 days wfh

  • 5 weeks holiday (plus birthday day off, and ‘3 for 2’ over Christmas)

  • Contributory pension

  • Health cash plan

  • Audible

  • Relocation support package if you want to get closer to Oxford 

  • Cycle to work & EV salary sacrifice scheme 

  • All-day snacks

We invest in spending time together out of the office – including the infamous summer away days. Recent trips have included Wilderness Festival, a country house in rural Wales and Morocco! 

 

WAYS OF WORKING

In a post-pandemic world, we’ve opted for a ‘3 in, 2 out’ model where you will spend 3 days per week working with the team in our Oxford office and 2 days working remotely from anywhere.
