If you’re looking to start your communications career in an award-winning global agency, then this might just be the role for you!
The Role
We’re currently looking for a graduate to join our award-winning Brand & Consumer Marketing team in September 2021. Offered as an initial 12-month contract with the opportunity for a permanent role on successful completion.
We believe in creating connections through storytelling. We believe in truly understanding the brand and what it can stand for, using that understanding to create compelling content, amplifying that content across earned, owned and shared channels and delivering results that show commercial benefit.
We’re the people who made Crocs cool, supported victims of domestic violence during lockdown with Refuge, got the UK to walk 4.5 times around the world from home with Fitbit. We created the world’s first LGBT+ newswire to highlight injustices all over the world with Thomson Reuters and sent Samsung into space..
With the world around us changing at an unstoppable pace, we’re constantly innovating and with that, creating provocative campaigns that focus on what matters to people and affecting real change for communities.
From creative sessions, events, and media pitching to briefing celebrities on a brand campaign, no two days are the same in the Brand and Consumer Marketing team. We are big believers in the power of collaboration and work with FH teams and practices all over the world to deliver best in class integrated campaigns that drive the big results for our clients.
This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the biggest and fastest growing teams in the agency, to work with a range of clients – from the world’s leading tech brands to fast-growth scale-ups across a range of sectors including sports and entertainment, food and drink, travel & retail, technology and FMCG.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for driving media coverage, crafting high quality content, supporting new business activities and ensuring the smooth running of the administrative and operational aspects of accounts.
You will support multiple client accounts from day one, supporting account teams to drive results through media relations, executive profiling, content development, social media and events support.
You will also play a role in supporting the team on new business and marketing efforts to continue to grow the practice and portfolio of clients we have.
Your day to day
- Developing media target lists, research around the news agenda and finding creative angles to promote stories
- Media relations, pitching stories to journalists and drafting writing press releases and bylines
- Assisting in the coordination of events such as press conferences, media briefings, analyst meetings, media tours and trade shows
- Assisting with the drafting of client proposals and/or media materials: plans, presentations and reports
- Support in creating key press materials including press releases, social media content, briefing documents and coverage reports

- Researching client and competitor products and services to feed into client strategy/new business proposals
- Reporting and providing analysis on the results of online/offline campaign activities
- Actively contributing to new business initiatives
About you
As an agency we celebrate your strengths and ambitions, both professionally and personally, encouraging you to bring your passions to work. Joining FH brings the benefits of belonging to a top ranked global network whilst enabling you to grow in an entrepreneurial environment.
We are looking for a team player with an entrepreneurial spirit, who is passionate about developing their career in integrated communications as part of a leading global agency.
You will have a creative and curious mind, be willing to lean into new opportunities, stay on top of industry trends, develop meaningful campaign ideas and drive excellent results for clients. Previous PR or communications agency experience is a bonus but not essential.
You must be free to start the position in September and eligible to work in the UK to be considered for the scheme. Apart from that all we ask is that you can demonstrate a passion for communications.
