This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who would like to progress their career in PR, with a stronger focus on the digital and social element of the role.
The successful applicant will be given the unique opportunity to work across the social accounts of two very different but equally exciting and innovative drinks brands – an on-trend CBD soft drink and a single malt whisky brand that is one of whisky’s best kept secrets.
The remainder of your time will be spent working on one additional food or drink account with a wider 360 degree scope.
Our client is a vibrant independent food and drink Public Relations agency based in the heart of Bermondsey Street, They are just a10 minute walk from London Bridge station. The agency’s core belief is that food and drink has to be done differently for people, the planet and the industry.
The clients fall into three main categories:
- Change Makers: Brands that exist to get us reframing and making the world a better place
- Taste Makers: Brands that do everything in the pursuit of excellence and quality
- Rule Breakers: Not afraid to do it differently – these brands go left when everyone else goes right. And thrive doing it
Account Manager Level Manifesto
AMs are the linchpins of accounts. As the client’s day to day point of contact you need to know what’s going on at all times. Even if it’s not your task to execute you’ll manage up and down to ensure that it’s done and that your team is always one step ahead. You’ll need to be enthusiastic about tasks both familiar and unfamiliar – pitching in to help out with easy stuff where you need to and putting your hand up for hard stuff when it counts.
Sometimes you’ll feel like you’re juggling many different responsibilities and client demands but The Story commits to giving you the support and training to help you get on top of your game as well as learning new skills like budgeting and line management.
