Carrot
Accelerating Reputations
We are not your ordinary bunch of PR professionals.
Sure, we all have the relevant skills and experience to deliver your PR goals and meet your company's business objectives. But we are drawn from disparate backgrounds, from radio journalism to commerce, meaning we are well grounded and can communicate with a wide range of people. Which makes forging strong relationships with journalists that bit easier. And results for your business that bit stronger.

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.
