About Beyond

We are part of Synaptiq Health, a collection of individual, best-in-class agencies and consultancies. Beyond's main office is near Hayward’s Heath in West Sussex, with occasional access to a central London office for meetings. This will be a hybrid role, with two to three days per week in the Sussex office and the rest from home.

We are rooted in our core values of Be Creative, Be Collaborative, Be Empowered, Be Honest and Be Agile. We seek to hire extraordinary talent in those who not only hold these same values but have a passion to succeed, deliver and grow.

The role

Are you enthusiastic, personable, and driven? Beyond is on the lookout for a dynamic individual to join our fast-paced Consumer Health team as an Account Executive or Senior Account Executive. We’re proud that one of our campaigns was recently shortlisted in the prestigious PR Week Awards, and now we’re looking for someone who’s ready to be part of our next success story.

In this role, you’ll dive into an exciting portfolio of clients, ranging from over-the-counter medicines, including food supplements and herbal remedies, to mental health services to digital tools. Our work spans multiple therapy areas, ensuring that no two days are ever the same. One day, you could be developing the strategy for a high-impact product launch; the next, you might be hosting a journalist event to dominate headlines.

If you’re passionate about media and social media, this role is perfect for you. You’ll have the chance to conduct and leverage expert-led research to boost brand awareness, develop innovative social strategies to increase engagements and manage influencer activity to drive authentic recommendations.
