Account Director / Associate Director – FOOTBALL / Sports – London – £40-60k
FOOTBALL! New-age sports agency that covers PR, digital, content, talent management and sponsorship is looking for an AD or Associate asap! This is a significant hire – their most senior external hire since the agency was founded seven years ago – will work in partnership with the founders, taking some of the responsibility off their shoulders allowing them to continue to grow the business.
With a host of big brand sports clients already in the building, you will work across two big football accounts as well as a large gaming brand that has a heavy collection of sports titles. There will be plenty of change to be involved in the day to day running of the agency; taking charge of a team, identifying and pitching for new business, networking and of course playing hard too.
This is not a typical sports agency – there is not much Rugby, Cricket or Motorsports here and the agency ‘feels’ like a consumer agency – really creative and a very social team. The offices based NE London are all open plan, light and airy and a stone’s throw from the tube.
This is a great chance to grow and develop, taking on some senior level responsibility while learning how a business actually runs.
So my client is looking for:
– Min seven years PR experience in sports or consumer PR which strong sports knowledge
– Integrated experience – product PR or just relying on big name football players will not go far here
– Fantastic client handling experience – you’ll be first class at building lasting relationships
– Creative character – ability to see a story or a partnership that will work across platform
– Genuinely nice person ! It’s a small team and they don’t want any drama queens!
