Edinburgh PR agency hosts careers day for aspiring communication professionals 

Muckle Media, the Edinburgh-based creative communications agency, hosted its first ‘Bright Careers. Realised.’ day for over 30 aspiring PR professionals in its Edinburgh office. The initiative was launched to help kickstart the careers of emerging talent looking to get into the industry.  

Aspiring PR and communications professionals considering making their start, or switching into, a career within the industry joined Muckle Media for an action-packed day of workshops, talks and interactive sessions to provide insight into the realities of whats involved in the industry.  

Sessions were taken by Nathalie Agnew, founder and managing director; Chris Batchelor, director (client service); Linsay Brown, director (people and culture); and Jacquelyn Whyte, director (creativity and business development) covering a number of topics including an introduction to PR, a session on media relations, as well as an opportunity to develop and present creative ideas in pitch teams.  

The day was open to anyone with an interest in a career in the industry and provided the opportunity to meet and network with the wider Muckle Media team, have a CV reviewed by one of Muckle Media’s experts and spend time with like-minded individuals and peers.  

Linsay Brown, Muckle Media’s director of people and culture, said: “We had a great day delivering our first Bright Careers. Realised. event, taking 30 budding comms professionals through what it’s like to work in the world of PR and creative communications. There was such a buzz throughout the day as our team shared their experience and expertise with the room, with a wealth of insightful conversations, creative ideas and lots of new connections made. We are passionate about encouraging people from all backgrounds to discover a career in PR and comms and help them kickstart their career, we look forward to hosting more events like this in the future.”
