Careers

Who are we?

We are PHA, a leading integrated comms agency with offices in London, Manchester, Leeds and Boston. Founded in 2005 by our Chairman and former newspaper editor Phil Hall, we have evolved to offer public relations, creative activations, social media, and digital marketing services to our enviable client roster.

Following the successful launch of our Digital & Social agency, Dig & Dig, in Boston, USA, last year, we are launching our expert Digital & Social Agency here in the UK under the same brand and as part of The PHA Group. We are now looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial Digital & Social Sales Lead with a strong new business focus, who can get under the skin of our UK proposition, build out a viable pipeline and drive our growth.

The ideal candidate will be commercially minded and an excellent communicator with at least five years’ sales experience in a Digital or Social-first agency environment. You will have your own existing network to tap into, be confident when speaking to prospects, and be able to show a good understanding of the relevant services that we offer to solve any client challenge.

We know that PHA is only as fantastic as its people, but don’t just take our word for it… Check out the video testimonials here.
