 About the Agency and Work Environment 

It’s just as important to the agency that they focus on the team as well as their clients and they do all that they can to make working with them as enjoyable as possible. They want you to be proud of where you work and truly become part of the team in a role that has big potential for the future.

They currently split their working week between a few days in the office and working from home, so with the option for remote working, this could be a great opportunity for someone further afield who is willing to commute a couple of days a week. They are a sociable bunch and have regular teams chats running on the days when they aren’t together in person and pub trips for the times they we are. We’re a supportive team and have regular socials, and a very flexible way of working.

Personal and career development is really important to them and you’ll have time each month to upskill on an area you’re keen to learn more about. They also take it in turns to share what they’ve learned with the rest of the team in a monthly knowledge share.  They appreciate that working in the fast-paced PR and social media world can be tiring and life in front of a screen can take its toll, so each employee has a wellbeing budget to spend on relaxing outside of work. From taking up yoga to buying new walking boots, or even a subscription to a mediation app – they’ll help cover the costs.
