We are an award-winning PR, podcasting, social media and creative marketing agency based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
We work with some of the most exciting businesses in AI, data centres, renewables and sustainable technologies, helping them tell stories that inspire change and drive impact.
We’re looking for a creative, organised, and enthusiastic PR and Social Media Executive to join our growing team — someone keen to develop their skills, support client campaigns, and build a strong career in PR, social and integrated communications.
The Role

You will work with and support colleagues across one of our key B2B technology accounts, taking ownership of assigned tasks and balancing your workload in line with deadlines, account priorities and campaign schedules.
As a member of the Spa team, you will quickly gain experience across a range of communications activities within a highly specialised and growing B2B technology agency, working in a friendly, collaborative and results-driven environment.

You should be able to build effective relationships with colleagues, clients, journalists, influencers and other stakeholders.
- Organisation and time management: You will often work across competing deadlines and changing account priorities, so you need to plan, adapt and deliver quickly without compromising on quality.
