Junior Account Executive - Platform Communications

Join a winning team

Platform Communications is a rapidly growing, independently-owned B2B technology agency. We work with brands that shape our everyday lives – from “prop-tech” that makes it easier to buy a house to companies that enable live news, sports, and entertainment leaders to keep the world captivated, informed, and connected.

We are proud of our friendly, collegiate team culture and offer excellent work-life balance, including flexible working hours and a hybrid office/home working policy.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Junior Account Executive to join us with an eye on taking the first step in their PR career.

You will have the chance to develop your abilities in an environment that offers excellent on-the-job training and mentoring. You’ll be working with a senior management team that includes the previous head of Fleishmann Hillard Tech, senior director of Weber Shandwick’s Technology and division head at Hotwire. Collectively, they’ve led global campaigns for clients including Microsoft, Symantec, Qualcomm, Verizon, EA, Sonos and many more.

A strong writer, able to tell engaging stories.
Positive, well organised, and ambitious, and ready to learn how to identify and pitch compelling stories to the media.
A team player keen to get stuck in! Recent team socials include dinners/drinks alongside street art tours, table tennis, and curling, and our new office in buzzing Fitzrovia hosts free pizza nights every Thursdays.

The role

Support the delivery of integrated communications campaigns that incorporate media, analyst and influencer relations, trade-show events, speaker and award opportunities, and digital content creation and promotion.
Pitch journalists to sell in ideas, discuss opportunities and maximise coverage.
