Publicist PR is a nightmare - Anonymous employee Publicist PR Employee Review

Got to attend cool events like fashion launch parties and food tastings. Learnt a lot from boss and colleagues. Office is conveniently located.

Overtime is a norm as there are deadlines every week and some events happen on weekends or after working hours. Building has no lift, had to walk up four storeys to get to office.

I was a sales executive for another firm for 3 years with a stagnant career and secure the job at Publicist through a mutual contact. My aim was to learn PR and events skills. The agency has great clients and I had a great rapport with the director, who allows great flexibility in working. Unlike other agencies where staff had to work till 12am, we enjoyed a high level of autonomy and relaxed atmosphere and working from home is encouraged. A strong culture of creativity and ownership is fostered. The team lead would also encourage us to think on our feet as part of the business culture that she wanted to foster. I was responsible for organising the monthly team bonding sessions where we got to really get to know one another. I enjoyed the freedom and creative vibes. Even though I was with the agency for less than a year, my director was kind enough to write me a letter of recommendation when I decided to take on a marketing role. Thanks to her, I secured the new job despite my limited experience. I am very grateful and feel that working for the firm had helped me move forward with my career.

The firm is small and you have to do your own admin work.
