1996Comms is a global PR consultancy representing an electric mix of challenger & luxury beauty, fragrance, fashion, and grooming brands, including CDLP, Selahatin, Gabar, Jouissance, The Grey Men’s Skincare, and 27 87 Barcelona. We are seeking an ambitious, proactive, and self-motivated PR Executive with 1–2 years’ experience to join the consultancy’s two co-founders at a pivotal stage of growth.
About 1996Comms
1996 was the year the analogue world collided with the digital: when the internet stopped being a curiosity and became inevitable, and culture began to accelerate without warning. Today, we’re at a similar turning point. Trends move faster than ever, culture splinters into countless streams, and attention is the rarest currency. That’s why we partner with brands who don’t chase noise, but instead drive communication strategies that craft a presence which endures.
The Role
As PR Executive, you will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the press office across beauty, fragrance, fashion, and grooming accounts. Working closely with the co-founders, you will support the delivery of thoughtful, culturally relevant PR strategies, gaining hands-on experience across UK and US media. The role spans traditional press activity alongside influencer outreach, supporting stylist sample requests, and engaging with make-up artists and grooming talent.
We are looking for a PR Executive to join us at our office in Essex, full-time (5 days a week).
