Forget London- start your PR career in Manchester

As if its music, culture and nightlife wasn’t enough, Manchester was recently revealed as the best city for graduates. In a survey by the Intergenerational Foundation, the capital of the north (or so I like to think of it) scored highly on a combination of graduate-level employment opportunities and house price-to-earnings ratios. Will we see students shunning the bright lights of London to head up north to begin their careers?

 

The benefits of living and working in Manchester aren’t just exclusive to young people. Anyone can enjoy what the city has to offer, as there’s something for everyone! Whether you’re a culture vulture, a sporting junkie or a shopaholic, there are countless ways to fill your evenings and weekends. And if you ever wanted to take a break from urban life, there’s plenty of breath-taking countryside in the surrounding shires that boast some much-loved walks.

 

As a B2B PR agency based near to Manchester, we can vouch for that fact that it’s a great place to work at too. Over the years, we’ve rubbed shoulders with PR pros across Manchester and seen that there are many worthwhile opportunities to work in the city’s creative industry. Having attended various PR award ceremonies we know first-hand how rewarding our line of work can be.

 

If you’re tempted by life up north then you’re in luck! We’re currently on the hunt for a new SAE/AM. The candidate we’re looking for has to hit the ground running with their creative thinking and be able to proactively and reactively spot key media opportunities. Another important trait we’re looking for is respect for deadlines and a good healthy day’s work- just like that northern work ethic! Interested? Send your CV to claire.lamb@skoutpr.com with a covering letter telling us why you’re a good fit for Skout.

 

As employment opportunities boom for young people in Manchester, we like to think that employment among all ages will go from strength to strength in the city. Hopefully our prosperous creative sector will be among the key industry boomers.

If you haven’t heard by now, Skout is under new ownership! No, we haven’t been bought out – in fact it’s quite the opposite. As of last week, Skout officially became an employee-owned business. This was achieved by the founding shareholders, Rob and Claire, signing 100% ownership over to a newly established Employee Ownership Trust acting on behalf of the...

A few weeks ago, the entire Skout team visited the beautiful and historic city of Palma, Majorca for our annual kick off event. It’s been a long time in the planning (pre-pandemic to be precise) and the first time we’ve been abroad for a kick off to the new financial year. We’ve always found kick off meetings a great way...

As a smaller business, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to sustainability. Sure, we all do our best to use the right recycling bin at home, and bring our re-usable coffee cups to work. But with serious pressures now mounting from the government – which pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 –...

Another week, another round of mass layoffs in the tech sector. With Amazon (AWS) and Meta cutting thousands of jobs, and further layoffs at Salesforce and of course Twitter, it has felt a bit like the tech world has been imploding of late. This is of course concerning for us working in B2B tech PR, but more importantly for the...
