Account Manager – Lifestyle Fashion I £27-32K I London

My client is an extremely well regarded PR agency, that has a wealth of experience and brands under their belt to warrant the brilliant reputation that they currently hold.  The agency is privately owned, Central London based, with sister agencies under the brands umbrella, who are all specialists in their fields.  The agency is very well known with global big brands as clients.

This particular Account Manager role, is to sit within the fashion lifestyle business which is currently a smaller team, which is appealing to some and not to all!  Given it’s a small team, you will have exposure to senior members and really get stuck in and involved in all aspects of lifestyle PR.  The accounts that sit under this role, are not product placements accounts.  The perfect candidate will not come from a fashion product placement type agency! They are creative, content driven, multi-layered and integrated.  The clients you will be working on are a soft drinks brand and a sports lifestyle fashion brand.  If you’re interested in partnerships and sponsorships this could be an ideal role for you.

– Outstanding communication skills

– To multi-task and work well under pressure

– To be a leader and a mentor to the team
