Brilliant PR & Marketing is a Leading agency serving consumer lifestyle brands with an emphasis on products for families including baby and maternity, toys and games, tech, and housewares and food, Brilliant PR & Marketing seeks an entry-level Public Relations Press Coordinator to support our fast-paced culture and rapid growth!

Our ideal Public Relations Press Coordinator is at the start of their career but has aspirations to progress quickly to more senior-level agency positions.
