Carrot

Accelerating Reputations

At Carrot, we only put experienced people on your business.

That means you’ll deal with someone who understands business issues, and who will give you sound advice that you can trust (we know that’s different from some other agencies out there). We hand-pick specialists for the communications delivery – so, for example, we work with media relations experts to deliver media coverage; copywriters to deliver great copy; designers to help you with your website and presentation materials.

Working at Carrot

At Carrot, we are always on the look out for feisty, passionate freelances with a knack for media relations, a strong interest in tech, and proficiency in digital and social media. Oh, and a good sense of humour helps!

We are a bit different from traditional agencies - we operate a flexible working structure and use a combination of central hub offices and home working to keep our overheads low. Our team is split into senior communications advisors and media relations experts, backed up with strong operational support.

If you think you fit the bill, we’d love to hear from you. Contact Kate Hartley at kate.hartley@carrotcomms.co.uk with your CV and/or relevant experience.

Please note that because of the way we work we do not operate a work experience or internship program.
