Role description

We are looking for an outstanding graduate to join our technology PR team.

Your role will be to deliver our campaigns, including writing press releases and articles, building journalist and blogger relationships, taking responsibility for day-to-day administration and securing coverage for clients at the right time, in the right places, and with the right messages.

You will also have the opportunity to attend and organise networking events, using these as a chance to build your own professional network and secure new business for MC2.

The same ethos applies to our people. The pace at which you progress is up to you - if you are ambitious, passionate and can work well under pressure, we will give you the opportunities and the training to move up through our organisation.
