Edelman builds earned-first, trusted, iconic brands.
We think audience and culture first to help our clients solve real-world problems that people really care about. Like helping to prevent animal poaching by turning Samsung smart phones into a CCTV network enabling anybody, anywhere in the world to act as a virtual ranger and watch over wildlife in Africa.
Inspiring IKEA to buy back old furniture on Black Friday instead of promoting sales on new items. And helping Dove’s Real Beauty mission take on representation in gaming by creating the world’s first guide training for developers on how to code for black hair styles within games, enabling all players to confidently represent themselves in the digital world.
We are looking for an Account Manager to join us in our new London home, Francis House, on one of the world’s most iconic F&B brands.
The Role
Are you a creative and enthusiastic self-starter, with a great network of media contacts? Are you in-tune with Gen Z culture and the latest viral social trends? Do you have a good working understanding of integrated storytelling and how a story can flex across different channels and platforms for maximum reach and impact? Are you comfortable running a busy, press office advising on complex, inbound media requests? Then this could be the role for you.
You will manage the day-to-day workings of the brand team, helping to drive forwards the delivery of all UK storytelling output – including seasonal campaigns, new product launches, big creative activations, an EMEA wide press office… and everything in between.
Outside of the day-to-day client team, you will also work with Edelman’s creative, influencer, planning and social strategy teams, bringing these different specialisms together to tackle new briefs and create integrated communications solutions, seamlessly.
This is the perfect role for someone who is a true team player, a media hound as fast-moving as the everchanging news agenda and someone who enjoys the responsibility of playing a valuable role in a large team – all while taking pride in delivering incredible work.
More than anything, we’re looking for someone who is non-hierarchical and happy to get stuck in.
