Account Manager

About HERE BE DRAGONS

Here Be Dragons is a creative communications agency. While focussed on the discipline of PR, we believe in a modern definition of this term, focussing on creating bold work that drives conversation and WOM across earned media and social. To do that we use a broad range of disciplines which form the base of our service offering to clients

‍

Here Be Dragons Agency: PR & Press Office, Digital PR & SEO, Brand Storytelling, Influencer (organic and paid), Spokesperson Profiling, Events

‍

Our work is very varied and can encompass a product launch one day, a media event the next, or any level of stunt or brand activation. We work across many verticals — travel, technology, entertainment, food & beverage, health & wellness, retail, so no two days are the same.

‍

We work hard but we like to enjoy life, so work-life balance is pretty important to us. We also like to spend time together, so regularly organise cultural days out, team training sessions and after-work drinks.

‍

Culture-wise, there are four key values of Here Be Dragons, which we ask all our staff, clients and partners to adhere to:

‍

• Curious. We can't be creative if we are not curious. We seek new adventures, ask questions and always listen
• Courageous. We are creatively courageous, fighting for great work and navigating bravely with our ideas and our outlook
• Compassionate. W​​e have empathy, we understand that everybody is different and we strive to be inclusive of all
• Good vibes only. Rule No #1, don't be a dick. Our internal culture makes clients want to hang out with us and fosters a team culture of acceptance
