Our enviable client list includes some of the world’s largest tech brands, including Meta, HP, Samsung, Infosys and Crowdstrike.

You’ll be working in a thriving, diverse and highly flexible hybrid working culture – we also offer the ability to work from anywhere in the world for 30 days each year. You’ll be working with some of the smartest people in the sector on a range of exciting consumer tech, B2C, B2B and enterprise tech brands. We work for 6 of the biggest tech brands in the world, leading tech innovators and those transforming their sectors.

You will have supreme B2B technology media relations and social media skills, as well as a little black book of media contacts. We want to hear about how your ideas have translated into media and digital results.

Both the role and the clients we work with are exciting and fast-paced – you will need to be a quick thinker and strong multi-tasker, ready to respond to client requests, staff media events and interviews, organise multi-market briefs, and pull together campaign recaps at the bat of an eye.
