    If you're looking to start your communications career in an award-winning global agency, then this might just be the role for you!

    We’re currently looking for a graduate to join our award-winning Technology team in September 2021.  Offered as an initial 12-month contract with the opportunity for a permanent role on successful completion.

    Our team’s client portfolio varies from some of the world’s largest technology brands to up and coming industry challengers. Whether it’s exploring the role of artificial intelligence in modelling the future of healthcare, or finding creative ways to talk about the inner workings of elevators, or working with an Oscar-winning cinematographer to raise awareness of the part data storage plays in creating art, our days are always different, but rarely ever dull.

    With over 25 communications specialists, we live and breathe the trends and issues around cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, IoT, Fintech, hardware, SaaS, telecoms, IT consulting, unified communications, cloud computing and more.  We love taking what seem like dry, technical topics, figuring out why they matter and making them easy to understand by non-technical audiences.

    With technology rapidly becoming an inextricable part of every industry, our work spans multiple sectors, from healthcare, financial services, automotive, marketing, entertainment and even law. This variety, along with our belief that the best communications programmes are integrated, mean our team members have the chance to contribute to, and learn from, a whole host of people and practices across the entire agency.

    Your role

    As a Graduate Trainee, you will be given the chance to work across 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 current portfolio of clients - see here for current case studies.

    The 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
    • Supporting campaign & programme development through relevant research and contributing ideas to planning meetings and brainstorms
    • 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.
