Join a startup PR & Communications company as a Digital PR Executive in Reading.
Digital PR has changed shape fast.
Links, mentions and genuine coverage now sit at the centre of how brands get found online, and the agencies doing it well are small, fast-moving teams rather than big slow ones.
This is one of them: a growing PR & Communications startup in Reading, built on flat structure and quick decisions rather than layers of sign-off.
They need a Digital PR Executive who can pitch a journalist on Monday and see the story land by Wednesday.
Here's what you'll be doing: Build and pitch newsworthy stories, data campaigns and expert comment to journalists and editors across national, trade and regional titles Manage a portfolio of client accounts, reporting on coverage, links earned and campaign performance Write pitches, press releases and reactive commentary that actually get opened, not binned Monitor news cycles and trending topics, spotting quick-turn opportunities for client newsjacking Work closely with the content and SEO team to align digital PR output with wider search strategy Maintain and grow relationships with a black book of journalist and influencer contacts Here are the skills you'll need: Two to four years' experience in digital PR, communications or journalism A track record of securing coverage in relevant, high-authority publications Sharp written English and a nose for what makes a story worth running Comfort with coverage tracking and reporting tools (Google Analytics, media monitoring platforms) Resilience.
Pitches get ignored constantly, and the good ones keep going anyway Confidence working independently in a remote, fast-paced team with minimal hand-holding Key perks and benefits: £32,000 to £41,000, depending on experience Fully remote working, with the team based around Reading Equity in the business, not just a salary Flexible hours built around output, not clocking in A genuine learning and development budget to spend on courses, conferences or training Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
Reading has become a real hub for agencies and client-side comms teams, sitting close enough to London to catch the work without the commute or the rent.
PR & Communications rewards people who can write fast and think on their feet, and digital PR specifically has become one of the clearest routes from junior to senior because the results are so visible: links, coverage, rankings, all trackable.
Good practitioners move up quickly here, often faster than in traditional PR, because the proof of what you've done is sitting right there in the data.
