Job description

Flame PR is a business/financial and technology PR company based in Central London with huge ambitions and a growing blue chip client base. We have opportunities available for ambitious, hard-working and self-motivated interns, who will be working across our accounts, and our growing business development department. We offer real training, and a chance to do real work (as opposed to making coffee!)

We mainly hire our staff through the internship programme so this as a real career opportunity rather than just work experience.

You will work across a number of our accounts, mostly within the business and technology sector in Japan and possibly helping in the other Asian countries, learning a wide variety of skills, such as:
•You must be enthusiastic about picking up the phone and speaking to journalists, and be prepared to work in a very proactive media outreach environment.
•Be prepared to pitch relentlessly and cold call and build relationships
•Understanding the sales side of the business and the process of attracting and retaining new business to Flame PR’s already expanding client base.
•Writing high quality copy and ghost writing.
•Learning how to manage existing clients, attain and handle new clients.
•Pitching and positioning articles and interviews in tier one media, along with elite business and trade press.

Experience is not necessary, but you must have a passion for business news, technology and financial media, and knowledge of the PR industry.
•You will have excellent writing skills, strong interest in current affairs, energy, enthusiasm and ambition.
• You will have the ability to work across a number of different areas of the business.
• You will learn to write press releases under pressure and representing clients from a variety of sectors.
•Ideally you will have an understanding of the finance and technology sectors and working knowledge of business in general.
•You will be a team player and comfortable with pressure and ambiguity.

As a growing agency this is a great chance to develop with the business. We envisage opportunities for further career development and promotion.

We operate a supportive people environment led by the Managing Director.
