You Have These:

• 3–4 years of relevant agency experience, ideally within the sport and lifestyle space.
• Experience of delivering PR, influencer and social campaigns for UK and international brands and businesses
• A strong track record in client-servicing and campaign delivery.

We’d Love If You Also Have These:
