Job Description

Do you want to be part of a revolution? And work on some of the campaigns that the whole country ends up talking about? Then read on, because the best agency in broadcast PR is looking to make a stellar hire to help develop a growing content division. 

Broadcast Revolution is a full service broadcast consultancy. It is often a key partner to the biggest brands and agencies and is responsible for delivering award winning campaign work, with over 40 gongs to their name in their relatively short history. It’s a medium sized, lovely team, with a great office space and a really entrepreneurial mindset. 

It also challenges the status quo, and delivers impact for clients, but also does a little good along the way. 

Its Broadcast For Good initiative aims to use the power of broadcast to deliver a positive impact for clients, our industry and our people through pro bono work.

So why are they looking? Broadcast Revolution’s content practice (video, podcast and live streaming) has grown alongside its core offering. And the team wants to continue to do this, ensuring its output matches up to its other work – delivering engaging content that broadcasters want to use and audiences want to see and hear. 

So who are they looking for? The successful candidate will be a content expert who really gets the media, and has a strong understanding of marketing and PR. A storyteller that can find that extra angle, that killer question or the line that turns a piece of content into something you need to watch or hear. 

And they need to be able to be a true consultant. Challenging and advising clients on a range of creative broadcast (owned and earned) strategies. At Broadcast Revolution, they want to be known for delivering outstanding campaigns, not also-ran work. 

To build a career here, being ambitious and entrepreneurial will help. Are you a good networker? Do you have great connections in the industry? Can you constantly innovate and come up with new solutions? Can you convince a client that the easy route, isn’t always the best? 

This is a senior position, but it is also a chance to help build a thriving business within a successful growing business. The team is superb and they are more than geared up to do the work, but someone who is goal oriented, commercially minded and driven, who can help lead growth, will be perfectly placed to deliver success.

If that sounds like you. Get in touch.

We will try to get back to as many people as possible, but if you don’t hear from us within one week from sending your application, you unfortunately haven’t been successful this time. 

Darain Faraz

Darain’s aversion to confined spaces took root during a fateful screening of ‘Buried,’ a film that immerses its audience in the gripping horror of a man awakening to find himself entombed alive. This intense fear of tight space has left an indelible mark on him. Beyond his mild-claustrophobic tendencies, Darain is also Co-founder of People Like Us, and former Director of Marketing at jobs behemoth LinkedIn internationally. Before his decade+ at LinkedIn, he resided in Australia where ran comms for WWF’s Earth Hour, and MySpace (remember them?). He’s a regular on Marketing Week + PR Week top 100, has won a raft of industry recognition including the coveted Cannes Lions. But he’s more than his titles and his accolades, he’s a die-hard Kylie Minogue fan too. He has three lively kids and lives in Fiji (yup, you read that right). He also likes to take his shirt off at regular intervals (check out his ‘gram… or better still – don’t).

Mike Levaggi

What could be scarier than being stuck in a toilet cubicle with a wasp nest? Not much for our founder Mike (maybe having his face on a website) but definitely not making our industry fairer. He’s a northerner with Irish and Italian roots. In his 15 years in PR, he’s been a Senior Director of Assembly, head of consumer comms at Snap and a tech & gaming lead at Hope&Glory PR, winning over 50 industry awards. He’s also a former recruiter, the founder of the One Percent diversity initiative and co-founder of the PR Week Pay Gap Project. He’s been called a lot of things, but he’d call himself a problem solver. 

Sheeraz Gulsher

Sheeraz has both a fear and deep fascination of life after death. To face it, he’s taking solace by learning about the origin of world religions and reading the (not so) comforting words of many philosophers. Bit deep, but he’ll be fine, we promise.

Beyond his flirting with existential crises, Sheeraz is co-founder of People Like Us, the award winning non-profit that celebrates and supports professionals from underrepresented backgrounds in journalism, PR and the creative industries. Sheeraz is also an award winning PR professional with over a decade of experience both in-house at Snapchat and Sky, and at agencies including Hope&Glory and PrettyGreen. Sheeraz is a passionate campaigner for equal pay for ethnically diverse working professionals in the UK. He will often mention the one time someone said his celebrity lookalike is Riz Ahmed but in actual fact, he looks more like Bruno Fernandes (minus the sass). Top geezer all round.
