Account Executive

A substantial increase in business from a high flying and seriously credible integrated agency with a rich history of prestige are looking for seven new staff members, including an Account Executive. The agency has an excellent reputation for the training and development of marketing professionals at this level and many have gone on to become account managers and directors.

The role:

If you’re interested in, or have a background in B2B, then you could do a lot worse than join this superb consultancy which has thrived during 2020, partly due to the nature of their clients’ businesses which includes international pharma, health sciences, nutrition and technology. This growth has continued through 2021 & shows no sign of abating.

Acknowledged as one of the most innovative agencies in the area, they’ve always adopted a flexible working policy and have some superb benefits. The Account Executive roles will be hybrid roles working across PR and marketing, essentially offering you a choice of where you take your career path. You’ll be involved with writing press releases and technical features, contact reports and agendas, as well as undertaking media liaison with both UK and potentially foreign media, mixed in with events and brand marketing projects.

The role will also give you ample opportunity to work across different aspects of the marketing mix covering both online and offline disciplines. Event management, both virtual and (at some point) in person will form part of the role as will supplier negotiation as will print and design management where you will develop your understanding of print, photography and design terminology.

You’ll also be building effective relationships with clients, including attending client meetings, and supplier briefings, potentially internationally.

What we’re looking for:

Ideally, we’re looking for candidates with a minimum of 6 months experience from a commercial environment, perhaps gained from internships or placements, who have sound writing skills and a curious, inquisitive nature. An interesting in marketing goes without saying & it would also be beneficial, but certainly not a pre-requisite if you spoke an additional European language given the nature of clients.

A scientific background would also stand you in good stead, but an interest in the finer details of B2B marketing is an absolute essential.

What’s on Offer?

Without question, this would be an astute move to start your marketing career here, & this agency really values career progression and development. They are renowned for staff training and development and most of their senior PR account handlers started in more junior roles. You will also benefit from working with seasoned PR & marketing professionals as well as having the opportunity to work on campaigns that cross UK and Europe.

They offer unlimited holidays and bonus structure, a superb culture plus a continuing flexible working policy, though this not a fully remote working role in the long term. Salary £18-21,000.
