CITY SLICKING AND RURAL RETREATING

We operate from two locations in the Midlands: -In the West Midlands you can find our city pad on Navigation Street, right next to the iconic Grand Central Station.

-In the East Midlands we work from our rural retreat in Newtown Unthank, just outside of Leicester, close to junction 23a on the M1.

When recruited, spottydog team members are assigned as a Birmingham or Leicester based role and this will be your principle place of work.

However with clients located across the UK and to maximise integration between the two locations,travel between sites and to client locations should be expected.

As our Leicester office is based in a rural location, ability to drive and access to your own wheels is an advantage.

TALENT SPOTTING

Talent spotting is really important to us, and that’s why we get involved in CIPR and support the next generation of talent through our paid internship programme and by lecturing at Birmingham and Leicester Universities.

We’re a small team, so you’ll get the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into all aspects of the work we do – client liaison, copywriting, media relations, content creation, social media management, events and reporting.

We’ve got a brilliant mix of consumer led clients, together with some high-tech b2b clients with some cracking stories to tell – so it means we’re regularly in London delivering media briefings and press days which secure exciting national publicity.

In return for juggling the demands of working within the 24/7 media and digital landscape we’ll reward you with a salary with a commitment to review after six months, 24 days holiday, flexible working policy, 5% match pension contribution, paid CIPRmembership, young persons railcard (if you’re lucky to be under 25!) and naturally a spotty mug!

You’ll be based in our leafy Leicestershire hub or Birmingham city pad, but you’ll get out and about to meetings with clients and London media briefings – so the only time the grass will be growing under your feet is when you’re taking Zac out for his lunchtime lope.

We have a work hard / play hard culture – so as well as spotting great PR ops, we hope that you have a little black number for the inevitable awards ‘do’s’, as well as a soft spot for Champneys, bingo, treasure hunting and the cinema because that’s what we got up to on our last few team time outs. We’ll even throw in a dobber…
