Job Description

Publicity Assistant - Books
Salary DOE
ASAP Start
If you light up when talking about books, culture and storytelling, this is the role for you.
We're looking for an organised, curious and driven Publicity Assistant to join a Books team at one of the UK's top entertainment PR agencies. You'll be surrounded by creative people, brilliant authors and genuinely exciting projects, playing a key part in keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
No two days will look the same in this role! One day you'll be pulling together coverage reports and chatting with journalists, the next you'll be helping to organise a launch or setting up an author photoshoot. You'll be the person who keeps things moving, solves problems quickly and makes sure every detail feels seamless.
Key Responsibilities will include:

• Tracking and reporting on all press coverage for our clients
• Keeping media lists and client materials up to date
• Supporting on press releases, campaign plans and event logistics
• Liaising with authors, publishers and media to coordinate interviews and shoots
• Assisting at launches, photoshoots and press events
• Handling general office and client communications
• Helping create social content that celebrates client wins and standout moments

We're looking for someone who's:

• A confident communicator with a great eye for detail
• Exceptionally organised and calm under pressure
• Positive, proactive and always ready to get stuck in
• Passionate about books, media and pop culture
• A team player who brings good energy and enthusiasm to everything they do

If you love the buzz of a busy creative environment and want to kickstart your career in PR, this is your chance to learn from the best and be part of something brilliant.
