Jobs at Berkeley Communications

We’re always on the lookout for fresh talent. Come and join our team.

While every PR agency claims to use storytelling, few change the way their teams and clients think about using storytelling. And only one has a CIPD accredited storytelling academy (clue, that’s us).

We aim to be the biggest independent agency in the UK and we’re punching against the biggest London based agencies in pitches.

We pride ourselves on creating a great culture and offer flexible working (only two days in the office per week – unless you want to do more); training, to ensure we’re looking after your development and progression; QRMs (quarterly review meetings) where we all meet up and have a great time, our birthdays off and one extra day per year worked up to a maximum of 5 additional days. Our atmosphere is second to none and we recognise our people are our greatest asset. We’ll invest in you if you invest in us.

If you’re interested in joining our energetic, collaborative PR agency but don’t see a role that matches your skills, please apply via the speculative applications option below.

For all applications please see attached Berkeley’s Job Applicant Privacy Notice for you to read ahead of application.

If you are coming in for a meeting or an interview at our Reading office, please refer to our visitor guide.

Account Executive

Location(s): Reading, United Kingdom
An integral part of all account teams, an account executive (AE) is responsible for several key tasks, usually on a number of different accounts. Reporting to the account manager the AE must at all times remain the ultimate ‘safe pair of hands’. By generating positive coverage, achieving product placement without payment in print and new media, and placing spokespeople as commentators, an account executive works to proactively promote the profile of their clients. They liaise on a daily basis with the team and clients to update and report on key successes.

Trainee Account Executive

Location(s): Reading, United Kingdom
A trainee account executive (TAE) will work across a number of different accounts, giving them a good introduction to agency life. A TAE will be expected to take on a number of key tasks, giving them the necessary grounding in PR to progress to a fully-fledged account executive. Not expected to get the job right every time, a TAE should show a willingness to learn and a desire to make PR not just a job but a career. A TAE will develop a good understanding of the media landscape, acquire the skills to generate positive coverage, and place spokespeople as commentators in print and new media.

"They’ve quadrupled our coverage — before working with Berkeley, we were gaining low coverage numbers. The coverage we get now is 60% in tier one media outlets. Berkeley exceeds the coverage KPIs set for them quarter after quarter."
"In the first quarter of our engagement, we’ve tripled the amount of PR coverage we received previously. We've found a true partner in Berkeley Communications. They care about our success as much as we do."
Sally Fraser
"We are incredibly impressed with the work of the Berkeley team. We chose to work with them back in May 2018 at which point our ‘Share of Voice’ was less than 1%. By May 2019 we’d seen this grow to 23% and May 2020 we’ve achieved 31%, securing IDEX the number one SoV position. From a personal perspective I have found the Berkeley team great to work with, they are very professional, always prepared and bring new ideas to the table on an ongoing basis.”
