Account Director - Creative PR & Comms Agency

London Hybrid £50,000-£55,000

I'm currently working with one of London's most exciting independent creative comms agencies to hire an Account Director.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-growing, creative PR consultancy working with some of the most talked-about lifestyle, hospitality and consumer brands in the UK.

This agency specialises in creative press office, campaign activations and social-first earned media. Their work is focused on generating genuine cultural relevance and engagement - prioritising impactful coverage, creative storytelling, and social conversation over volume-driven traditional PR metrics.

They're a small, collaborative and highly creative team, offering the chance to take on significant responsibility and play a key role in shaping client work and agency growth.

The Role

As Account Director, you'll work across a portfolio of consumer lifestyle and hospitality clients, overseeing day-to-day activity while driving creative campaigns and press office initiatives.

You'll be responsible for ensuring accounts are strategically planned, creatively ambitious, and executed to the highest standard - bringing structure, leadership and creative thinking to both clients and internal teams.

This is a hands-on senior level role within a collaborative, entrepreneurial agency environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Leading day-to-day management of key client accounts
  • Acting as a senior client contact and providing strategic counsel
  • Developing and delivering creative press office ideas, campaigns and activations
  • Managing and mentoring junior team members
  • Bringing structure, organisation and forward planning across accounts
  • Identifying opportunities to generate impactful earned media coverage
  • Contributing to creative development and new business pitches where appropriate

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Currently operating at Account Director level, or a strong Senior Account Manager ready to step up
  • Experience within a creative PR, comms or integrated agency environment
  • Strong consumer lifestyle, hospitality, food & drink, or related sector experience
  • Proven ability to lead accounts and manage junior team members
  • Strong media understanding and instincts for what drives coverage and conversation
  • Highly organised, proactive and confident leading client relationships
  • Creative thinker who can develop and deliver ideas from concept through to execution

Why This Role?

  • Opportunity to join one of London's most exciting creative PR & Comms agencies
  • High level of ownership and autonomy
  • Creative, supportive and collaborative team environment
  • Exposure to high-profile lifestyle and hospitality brands
  • Clear progression opportunities as the agency continues to grow

Salary is £50,000-£55,000 depending on experience. Hybrid working, with 3 days per week in the central London office.
