Case Study

Senior PR Manager – Listed Retail Conglomerate

The Challenge:
Our client sought a Senior PR Manager with expertise in financial reporting and experience operating on a global scale. They required a candidate with a proven track record of developing cohesive strategies for a complex, multinational group of brands.

Unlike standard retail or fashion PR roles, this position had a unique focus on financial reporting, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and corporate communications within the fashion and retail sector. Despite searching for two months, the client struggled to progress any candidates beyond the first interview stage before partnering with us.

The Solution:

• Bespoke Action Plan: We developed a tailored strategy, identifying target candidates and alternative talent pools to ensure a robust search.
• Referral-Driven Campaign: Leveraging our extensive network of candidates and clients, we accessed off-market talent that fit the specific requirements.
• Creative Sourcing: By mapping alternative candidate pools, we broadened the search beyond traditional competitors, considering unconventional profiles that could bring fresh perspectives.

The Results:

• Within four weeks of receiving the brief, we secured two candidates for final-stage interviews with the CEO.
• The successful hire came from a PR agency specialising in listed brands, bringing a blend of financial acumen and a diverse portfolio of experience.
• This placement not only met the client’s technical needs but also added diversity and depth to their team’s expertise.

Key Takeaways:

• Broader Thinking Yields Better Results: Expanding beyond traditional competitors and considering alternative candidate sources proved essential in this search.
• Strategic Tools Are Key: Utilizing our network, advanced technology, and database allowed us to connect with untapped talent.
• Precision and Partnership Drive Success: By deeply understanding the client’s needs, we delivered a candidate who exceeded expectations and elevated the team’s capabilities.
