The role
Woodrow is looking for a strong PR and media specialist with additional expertise in social and digital communications.
This is not a pure digital role. We are looking for someone who understands how to shape stories, earn media attention, advise clients and deliver strong communications work, while also bringing confidence across digital channels, social content and online audience engagement.
