High Calibre Boutique PR Agency with Prestigious Clients in sectors spanning

Salary: ~£25,000 depending on experience

Curious PR was founded in 2013 by a former broadcast journalist with a passion for asking the right questions in order to tell ‘unmissable stories’ about our clients. Our ethos is ‘dig deeper and be outstanding’ which has earned our boutique agency a reputation for generating superlative results. It has also helped us build us a prestigious client base drawn from sectors including Environmental Sustainability, Healthcare, Luxury, Film, Media and the Charitable sector. In 2024 we were nominated for 2 prestigious industry awards for ‘Best PR campaign’ – and one for \’Best Company Culture\’.
