No experience necessary. We're hiring a Digital PR Outreach Executive to join us in-house in Leigh-on-Sea — we'll train you to pitch journalists, build a media list, and land coverage for our clients.
About Reactively
Reactively is a boutique digital PR and SEO agency based in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, working with clients across a range of industries on link-building and digital PR campaigns. We operate both directly and in a white-label capacity for partner agencies, delivering high-quality outreach and coverage for our clients.
This is a training role. You do not need agency experience, a media list, or a track record of coverage — we will teach you how outreach works, how to write a pitch, and how to follow up properly.
It is an outreach job, not social media and not generalist marketing. The day-to-day is emailing and speaking with journalists, keeping a tidy media list, and helping the team get stories published.
Team collaboration is a key part of this role, which is why it's based in our office rather than remote. You'll be working closely with the wider team on campaign ideas, target lists, and pitch strategy.
Key responsibilities
- Learn and run outreach to journalists, editors, and publications to secure coverage for client campaigns
- Build, grow, and maintain an accurate, well-organised media list — with full training and support
- Develop genuine relationships with media contacts over time
- Pitch story angles and campaign hooks, with guidance from the team
- Track outreach activity, responses, and coverage results
- Work with the team on campaign planning and target list development
- Follow up on pitches professionally and persistently without being a nuisance to contacts
Who we're looking for
- No experience necessary — this is a training role and we will teach you digital PR outreach from day one
- Excellent written and spoken English (you'll be emailing and speaking with journalists)
- Organised, with strong attention to detail
- Confident, personable communicator who enjoys talking to people
- Comfortable with computers and happy to learn new tools
- Genuinely interested in news, media, and getting stories published
- Happy to work in our Leigh-on-Sea office as part of a small team
- Any background in sales, customer service, admin, or comms is a bonus — not a requirement
- This is not a social media or content-only role. If you want to learn press outreach, we want to hear from you
What we offer
- Salary: £26,000 - £28,000
- Full training in digital PR outreach — no prior PR experience required
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, plus a week off at Christmas
- Electric desk and walking pad
