Most of the recruitment we do is looking for the hottest PR talent about – but we’re currently looking for something a little different…..

…we have a vacancy in our Support function, and are looking for someone special to join the team. The role of PA& Office Manager includes PA support to the CEO & Board, general office management as well as admin support to our HR function. It’s a full time role based in our busy London HQ and would be perfect for a highly organised, energetic person who would thrive on being involved in the running of a growing business.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, please send your CV and covering letter to katieb@launchgroup.co.uk and one of the team will be in touch.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

getting the job done – whatever the weather

on Thu, 08 July 2010 | by

 

Last week, we closed the books on 12 months of trading, which as ever, has made me reflect on key influences that have shaped our performance over the last year.

 

Firstly, despite one of the worst recessions in history, there’s been a lot of activity with clients and prospects, which tells me, the role for PR and its increasing influence on the digital scene is encouraging. And at unusual times too – lots more mid year activity. It’ll be fascinating to see how this plays out over the next 12 months.

 

Secondly, budgets have been harder fought over. And often smaller, too.  There’s absolutely zero room for sloppiness or complacency – and that certainly adds an intensity to things.

 

Finally, people. We’re always on the look-out for stellar people to join the trailblazing Launch family … but good people have been thinner on the ground this year. Lots of people have stayed put, many have lost their jobs … so recruiting the best hasn’t been easy. And you should never compromise – we certainly don’t.


There’s one thing that’s impressed me throughout, however, and that’s the Launch spirit. We’ve had epic wins, we’ve had some near epic wins, we’ve had some great client gains (and a few client economy-led shrinkages), major award wins, major award runners-up spots … and we’ve had extreme weather fluctuations, which with a creaking heating / cooling system, has tested everyone.  But one thing consistently shines through – and that’s a positive attitude and a willingness to get the job done – whatever the weather.
