We lead the way in the application of behavioural science to solve communications challenges. We create strategies and multichannel campaigns to engage every audience, from consumer to policy maker, and from stakeholder to shareholder.

With 230 experts in London, we are trusted by many of the world’s leading businesses and brands.

Role overview

We are looking an outstanding Account Executive to join our Brand & Reputation.

This person will be experienced in implementing campaigns which give national profile to organisations, in a way that positively impacts perceptions among consumer audiences.

We’re less concerned about where the candidate has gained their experience (although a top PR agency would be ideal), or which sectors their clients have been in. We’re most concerned that they bring a sense of ambition, tenacity, enthusiasm, curiosity and fun to their work. We want someone who is hungry for success and who loves being part of a team.

MHP Group's Brand & Reputation practice was formed in 2019, through the merger of its corporate and consumer teams. The move reflects the evolving needs of our clients who are increasingly looking for agencies that understand complex stakeholder environments and the role communications plays at the intersection of brand and reputation. We are looking for candidates who can not only support CMOs with creative marketing programmes and boost sales, but who can easily pivot to deal with complex situations and advise business leaders on mission critical issues.
