About POW PR:
POW PR was founded in November 2020 and is the UK’s first and only podcast PR agency.
We work with the best production companies in the UK and amazing independent podcasters to launch and grow their podcasts through PR.
Recent work includes The Rest is Entertainment, Kew Gardens Unearthed, Waterlands from WWT, The Rock ‘n Roll Birder, London Podcast Festival and Lea Turner’s The HoLT Survival Guide.
Our campaigns have seen podcasts go to number 1 in the UK charts and category charts on day of launch and we are continuing to find new ways to increase podcast discoverability through PR.
Following a stellar year we have a new opportunity for a legendary Publicist to oversee podcast campaigns in house.
The astute publicist will be responsible for overseeing full campaigns from start to finish and will work across a range of press including podcast, consumer, lifestyle, business, entertainment, radio and TV.
You will work closely with the Director to plan and create strategies to help make our clients podcast legends.
This role is ideal for someone with a background in media looking to join a small team where they can work independently and make an impact for our passionate clients.
Our mission at POW PR is to raise the profile of podcasting in the media to make the industry profitable for everyone working in it.
What you will be the boss of:
- Client management. From the moment we onboard a client you become their lead publicist and point of contact throughout their time working with us.
- Client strategy. You will work with clients to create and run PR campaigns for podcasts that are launching or looking to grow.
- Endless enthusiasm. You will continually look for new opportunities to promote podcasts through the press and other relevant methods and help maintain our position as the UK’s podcast PR experts.
- Always on the lookout. You will spot and build relationships with press and podcast hosts to enable us to achieve continued promotion opportunities.
- The secret sauce. When you are in we will share our proven strategies and methods of how we do things but you will also be looking to continually as a flourish and cherry on the cake where you can.
- Being recognised as the best. We come highly recommended by Apple, Spotify, Acast and the BBC and want to keep it that way.
Our dream applicants will have/be:
- 3-5 years experience of running legendary PR campaigns.
- Experience of working in media.
- You can manage relationships, even when things get wobbly, and are a pro at keeping people updated.
- You work independently and enthusiastically but still love a little in-person time with the team.
- Someone who is looking to break out beyond traditional ways of working and contribute new ideas.
- An astute thinker who loves to get results.
- An interest in podcasts and the podcast industry.
And on a personal level, you’ll tick these boxes:
- People skills – you’re often described as a “people person” with fantastic listening, communication and collaboration skills.
- You’re open to feedback and constructive criticism – we are a fast moving team and let's face it, balls get dropped, but a willingness to take responsibility is really important to us.
- Exceptional communication skills – working remotely means our communication has to be on point. We use Google Chat to communicate over phone or email every time.
- You like your freedom to work from home alone but equally enjoy team time to bond and get the creative juices flowing.
- You’ll write ‘LEGEND’ next to your name in the application form – just so we know you’re definitely paying attention
- Self-driven and autonomous – you love what you do and love to get on with it.
- Super organised – being able to self-manage your priority list and meeting deadlines is make or break around here.
- A critical thinker – your approach to problem-solving is to first analyse it, be resourceful, and take accountability for finding the answer before asking a question.
- Someone who loves results. Now we know it’s not all about results, but you’re our kind of publicist if you still get a buzz when you get a piece of coverage (it’s what it’s all about!).
Our values
Personality
Everything we do, and everyone we work with needs to have personality. We don’t do bland and boring, it’s not our style. We make podcast legends and they all have their own unique personalities that we love to see celebrated and talked about.
Enthusiasm
As we take on a limited number of clients each month we are always enthusiastic about those we do sign and in return, they are enthusiastic about working with us. We show up with endless enthusiasm for our clients and pitch them week in and week out to give us the best chance of success and it’s impossible to do that unenthusiastically.
Astuteness
We cut to the chase and don’t waste time unnecessarily. This is because we want to work smarter to get you even more results. To enable us to do this our clients trust us and our proven strategies which we have developed over the last 3 years.
Recognition
We want great podcasts to be recognised and get the attention they deserve. This means racking up accolades and listeners at the same time meaning you can go after the big podcast dreams - be it running a live event or getting into the charts.
Legendary
We are all legends here. When legends come together great things happen and we help our clients become podcast legends. Be it being reviewed in The Guardian, being interviewed by the BBC or looking the best in front of your client we are here to help make it happen.
