PR & Social Platformer (entry level) in London

You must answer the following questions in your application, for your application to be accepted. Please place the answers as the first page of your CV, like a cover letter. You’ll be scored out of 5 for each answer; the highest average scoring candidates will be invited to the first stage of the interview process.

1. In your first month, you’ve been asked to help plan the agency’s Christmas party. There will be 200 people attending and you have a budget of £20,000 to spend. Please let us know where you’re taking us and a plan of what we’ll be getting up to. It’s very important that you tell us how you’ll use the budget, as we need the Finance team to approve it.

2. You’re assisting on a photoshoot - it’s meant to look like a beach, but the sand has not arrived because someone hasn’t ordered it, and your manager isn’t at the set yet. Various people are looking to you for an answer and a solution, most importantly the clients, the photographer and the influencers. You need to think on your feet; please provide us a bullet point breakdown (in order) of what you’ll do.

3. Tell us about a story, piece of content or news moment you’ve seen recently that you think ‘travelled’ well. What made it effective, and what did you personally take from it?

We’re looking for a platformer to join our growing team at One Green Bean. We are earned media and social specialists, creating stories that travel at the speed of share for brands that span travel, food and drink, automotive, retail, FMCG and technology. If you’re curious about what it takes to craft a great story, have a passion for writing and want to work in a team that champions great culture and award-winning creativity in equal measure, you could be exactly who we need.

You’ll work in a cross-matrix team, alongside Account Executives, Account Managers and Account Directors, reporting into your team lead. No one day is ever the same – it’s a brilliant opportunity to get experience with brands in completely different industries and hone your writing, project management and storytelling skills.

The successful Platformer will become a vital part of our team. This is more than just an administrative support role; we’re looking for people hungry to start their careers in comms and become the next generation of consultants. An eye for detail is important, a passion to learn is a must and we’ll always encourage you to share your ideas.

Other things to know about the remit and responsibilities:

• Writing is a big part of the job: Press releases, content captions, case studies, briefing documents, fact packs, biographies, WIP notes, media invitations – these are just some of the things you’ll turn your hand to as part of your role.
• It’s all about those brilliant basics: We manage lots of projects and workstreams simultaneously, so it’s important that we nail account management. That means well-written, actionable emails, clear WIPs and WIP notes, well-planned timelines and methodically organised cost budgets and coverage trackers.
• You love creating a great story: We’re earned media specialists, which means we craft stories that other people will want to share. A lot of work goes into creating truly agenda-setting stories, from the initial brainstorm, sharing it with the client, writing media strategies that consider the different angles and segments and working with suppliers to bring it to life.
• Building great relationships: We have fantastic relationships with our clients, suppliers and journalists and spend a lot of time nurturing these relationships to create the best work.
