Associate - Current Global

London, England, United Kingdom

Current Global – Associate   

What's happening?  

A fantastic, rare opportunity.  

We are a mid-sized, multi-disciplined global communications agency that’s part of one of the big three global marketing services groups. To support our continued growth, our B2B / tech team is seeking an Associate who is looking to develop their communication skills – media relations, social media, writing and client service – working with major enterprises. Unlike most agencies, all of our work is international in flavour. We develop multinational campaigns and work with teams and clients from all over the world.  

The ideal candidate has had some experience working in a marketing or PR agency for B2B / corporate / tech clients. This role is the ideal next step for a driven junior candidate looking to get underneath the skin of a few key clients and have real facetime with senior client stakeholders.  
 

What this means:  

  • You will advance your skills working on international campaigns at the highest level, with lots of great client exposure.  
  • You will work on some of most exciting brands in the world. 
  • You will be able to draw on the all the resources of a top global networked agency (world-class creatives, digital and video teams, and analytics experts) – while at the same time, working in an entrepreneurial environment, where there is no ceiling to your development or opportunity to advance.  

 
Our London B2B / tech team is small but mighty (as well as being super fun!) – you’ll collaborate daily with our UK CEO and Global Technology Lead who both sit in the London office.   
 

All of our work is geared towards mainstream business audiences.  So, we’re dealing with issues and topics (vs. just product announcements). You’ll delve into topics including GenAI’s impact on the workplace, enterprises’ responsibilities to advance sustainability, and data’s role in helping companies forge new revenue models.   

And unlike many agencies we don’t believe in putting people in narrow boxes when it comes to the types of clients they want to work with.  With growing consumer and healthcare groups, we encourage people to work cross-practise. Afterall, it’s the same core skills that are called for.  And we’re one team.  

You will be supported by smart, hard-working and caring people. We are committed to delivering excellence. We don’t have time for drama. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you! 
 

What will you be doing? 

  • Helping drive the media relations campaign for a global telco player;  
  • Support social and digital marketing efforts for a global team that operates in the largest, most innovative company in the world;  
  • Provide social media / exec comms support for a multinational industrial firm. 

What won’t you be doing?  

  • Low-level press office work or work aimed at coverage in tech trades   
  • Handling more than 3+ main clients at any given time (we protect our people’s time and headspace)  
  • Only UK media work (as we tend to focus on international programs)   
  • Reams of coordination or reporting  

 
Who are you?  

  • Very strong writing skills – and a love for writing  
  • Some media relations experience with mainstream business press 
  • Enthusiastic 
  • Resilient 
  • Honest 
  • Collaborative spirit balanced with pride of ownership 
  • Have a love of learning  

 
 Even better if you have:  

  • Social media skills – especially in support of executives / with LinkedIn.  
  • Experience working with large multinational clients.
