Speed Communications is a proactive, creative and commercially driven communications agency spanning Corporate & Business, Consumer & Lifestyle, and Foodservice & Hospitality. We have 50 staff predominantly based in Bristol, with revenues in excess of GBP5m.
Are you looking for a new challenge and keen to join a dynamic and creative fast growing team? Fancy getting some interesting, high-profile national clients on your books? We're looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious AE to join our Business and Corporate PR team in Bristol and work on some of the agency's big ticket clients.
As part of the core client day to day team you will provide support managing campaigns and clients day-to-day. You'll be coming up with creative story angles, engaging national, trade and regional journalists, consulting with the client on media opportunities and developing you own consulting skills and strategic thinking working with an account manager.
You'll have plenty of support from the senior team and lots of opportunities for training, and to develop your own particular skills and interests. By necessity, we're a fluid team, which means you'll get exposure to all elements of the running of our Business and Corporate clients, which come from a range of sectors including professional services, automotive, manufacturing and education.
We're open to new ideas and not afraid of a challenge, all of which underpins our drive to deliver the best possible results for clients and enjoy ourselves while we do it.
Key responsibilities:
- Supporting the implementation of PR projects and programmes from initial brief, through to drafting content, media relations and campaign evaluation working with your account manager
- Build and maintain strong media relationships that help us to deliver for clients
- Development of an in-depth knowledge of the client's business and the sector in which they operate to ensure PR initiatives are relevant and competitive.
- Over time build and maintain strong client relationships, to support the account activity
- Support the account teams with reporting and account management
- You'll have some experience of working in a PR consultancy or an in-house PR team (even if just from an internship) and have a growing understanding of the business-to-business sector. You'll be a strong writer and communicator with the ability to develop close professional relationships with clients and colleagues. You'll be ambitious and proactive with excellent organisational skills, and you will relish the opportunity to work in a fun, creative agency environment.
