PR Account Manager / Senior Account Executive
Gravity Global is the world’s most awarded marketing consultancy specialising in brands operating in complex markets. Led by strategy, innovation, technology, data and creativity, we create brand-and-demand marketing programmes that drive transformational growth for our clients.
With 14 wholly owned offices across the US, Europe, and APAC, you can develop a truly global career in a rapidly scaling organisation.
We are looking for Account Managers and Senior Account Executives to join our London PR team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on a wide variety of brands that are making the biggest impact on the world’s future. And you get to be part of the award-winning work being created to give them the attention they need to grow.
Our clients are operating in complex markets, so we are tasked with influencing multiple decision makers. And while the core work might be B2B there is nearly always a consumer angle or route, so we are open to anyone who has B2B experience, or anyone who has consumer experience that is up for the challenge that B2B PR offers.
The PR team operates from the London office. We work on PR specific briefs as well as integrated marketing campaigns being delivered by the Gravity team so you will be collaborating with colleagues across the UK, in Europe and the US. This is a tremendous opportunity to gain experience of everything from brand strategy, creative, lead generation, performance marketing, SEO, media strategy, digital development.
We are working with clients around the world – some of which have been clients for 20 years. We operate as an extension of their marketing teams and in some cases, Gravity is their marketing team. The PR team prides itself on fostering strong partnerships with clients who in turn value our support whether they are a market leader or challenger brand.
You will also be exposed to a hugely diverse set of industries and people – from the ESG and Sustainability space to Hospitality, Healthcare, Automotive and Aerospace through to Fintech, SaaS, and Manufacturing – and so much more. You will work across multiple accounts and never be pigeon-holed into one area! Indeed, you’ll learn about industries, services, products and technologies you never knew existed.
About this role
This role would most likely suit someone with PR agency or in-house experience looking to break out, or even a journalist looking to jump ship. You may already be an Account Manager or Senior Account Executive, or you may be looking to take the step up to one of these roles. But you will have an understanding of PR strategy and have solid media relations skills and be comfortable using them to secure media coverage in trade media as well as national and regional press. And you will have a willingness to share these skills with junior members of the team who are eager to learn.
Experience or skills you’ll have:
- PR agency or in-house PR experience: B2B experience is helpful, but so too is consumer.
- Good writing skills: being able to write high quality copy whether that is long-form copy, articles, press release, media pitches, case studies, award entries, web copy, blogs and social content.
- Experience of media relations, planning and execution
- Taking ownership of deliverables: attention to detail is important, so too is delivering work on time and to the highest standard
- Being comfortable with managing and/or supporting account executives – you will be working together to deliver projects, so you’ll be delegating tasks but also sharing your knowledge and experience to support their development and growth
- Flexibility, adaptability and resilience. You’ll be working across multiple projects/clients which means prioritizing and working to tight deadlines, and dealing with last minute request or media opportunities to take advantage of.
- Good communications skills; comfortable presenting, confident at articulating opinions or negotiating, and good at listening to your clients and your colleagues.
- Strategic and pro-active thinker who is commercially-savvy
- A team player who enjoys working collaboratively to deliver great work
- You’ll be confident but personable and enjoy nurturing client relationships
- Comfortable dealing with suppliers/partners including the media to develop paid PR/content partnerships, research companies to develop surveys, PR software providers etc
Key Responsibilities:
- Responsibility for smooth running of a number of client accounts, including account growth and idea generation, and supporting more senior members of the team with their accounts
- Building long-standing and trusting relationships with our clients and key stakeholders
- Working effectively with our integrated teams and wider agency network to ensure work is delivered to agreed timescales and in line with Client briefs
- Demonstrating creative initiative to guide and champion great ideas
- Accurate and timely financial and job management
What we can offer:
- Competitive remuneration package
- Global career development opportunities
- Hybrid working with at least 3 days in our London office (usual hours 9 - 5:30pm, Monday to Friday)
- Opportunities to make a difference and get involved with our working groups focusing on areas such as wellbeing and ESG / Sustainability
- Supportive and inclusive policies including, but not limited to, family friendly policies such as adoption, maternity and paternity, and equal opportunities
