Job description

PR & Social Media Executive (AE or SAE level)

Love kids’ brands, social media, and landing big PR wins? Come work with us!

We’re on the lookout for a talented PR Account Executive or Senior Account Executive to join our friendly, award-winning agency team in Bristol.

Are you still a big kid at heart? Do you get excited by the world of toys, family brands, and licensed characters — and do you know your way around a pitch, a press release, and a Reel? If so, this could be your dream role!

You’ll help deliver standout PR campaigns, influencer collabs, and thumb-stopping social content for some of the UK’s best-known family and entertainment brands. We’re a small, fast-moving team, so you’ll get stuck into loads of exciting projects and make a real impact from day one.

What you’ll be doing:

PR & Influencer Planning

• Keep campaign calendars and PR plans on point
• Spot seasonal hooks, trends and topical moments to jump on
• Build relationships with journalists and influencers across national, lifestyle and parenting media
• Curate brilliant media and influencer lists that deliver results

Campaign Execution

• Craft sparkling press releases, social posts and captions
• Pitch to press in clever, creative ways (you’re not afraid to pick up the phone!)
• Support with photoshoots, product mailers, events and client launches
• Land stand-out coverage in digital, print and broadcast media
• Organise product gifting, competitions and influencer campaigns (paid & organic)
• Manage client social channels (mainly Instagram, TikTok and Facebook)
• Help with light-touch paid media and social ad campaigns

Reporting & Client Comms

• Log media coverage and social metrics regularly
• Pull together smart, insightful reports
• Be a confident second point of contact on accounts and join client calls

Who we’re looking for:

You're ambitious, proactive, and bursting with energy and ideas. You’ve got 2–3 years’ agency experience under your belt and a passion for creating buzzworthy campaigns. You’ll be just as happy writing press releases as you are designing IG assets or briefing an influencer.

We’re after someone who:

• Writes punchy, entertaining copy and creates engaging visual content
• Has a sharp eye for detail and strong time management skills
• Can juggle deadlines like a pro and thrives in a fast-paced environment
• Is confident working independently but knows how to be a great team player
• Has a good grasp of the UK media and influencer landscape

The perks:

• Hybrid working: 3 days in our central Bristol office, 2 days from home
• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• 25 days’ holiday + 1 extra day per year of service
• Company pension
• Company laptop
• A fun, collaborative team who’ll cheer you on and help you grow
