PR & Marketing Associate

Brackendale is a boutique PR and marketing agency working for high profile clients mostly within the European private equity sector. The PE industry is a hugely influential and dynamic market, and we work with some of the smartest and most ambitious business leaders globally. At Brackendale we pride ourselves not only on our deep relationships with clients and our media contacts, but also on our ideas, enthusiasm and professionalism. As a small business with ambitious growth plans, there will certainly be the opportunity for the right candidate to rise to a higher level of responsibility and reward than would be expected with our larger competitors.

As well as traditional media campaigns, we offer a range of other services to our clients including copy writing, graphic design and presentation training.

Having brought on some exciting new PR clients, we are now looking to grow our team with the addition of a bright and hardworking PR & Marketing Associate. This role will be a hybrid of working from our London office in Victoria and from home.

We are a small team who works collaboratively on varied and challenging projects for international clients. Please get in touch for any further information or for an informal chat about the role.
