Vacancy
PR & Business Development manager
I shall find a way, or make one. Hands down our favorite quote from a namesake (the one with the elephants). And one that describes you perfectly, too.
You spot stories that deserve attention. And companies that can grow with the right PR approach. You make contacts easily, win people over with a strong proposal and then make sure things actually happen.
At Hannibal, we're looking for a PR & Business Development Manager to help put Small Talk, our in-house PR agency, on the map. You bring in new clients, build lasting client relationships and turn their ambitions into PR that delivers. From a first conversation to a strong story in the media: you own it.
The job
You grow Small Talk commercially.
- You uncover commercial opportunities with new prospects and within Hannibal's client portfolio.
- You make contacts, set up introductory meetings and map out the communication needs of potential clients.
- You translate those needs into convincing PR proposals, presentations and quotes.
- You actively follow up on opportunities and build lasting partnerships.
You're a strong partner for your clients.
- You manage your own client portfolio and are their go-to contact for PR.
- You develop PR plans that tie in with their marketing strategy and business goals.
- You keep an eye on planning, budget and quality, and keep clients in the loop on progress and results.
- You work with our PR director and Hannibal's strategists, creatives, content creators and marketers.
You roll up your sleeves yourself.
- You find newsworthy angles and turn them into relevant stories, press releases and targeted pitches.
- You build relationships with journalists, newsrooms, influencers and other relevant contacts.
- You organize press moments, interviews, product launches and media events.
- You follow up on coverage, report on the impact and fine-tune the approach.
Who are you?
- You have several years of relevant experience in PR, preferably at an agency.
- You combine PR expertise with a real appetite for sales. You dare to open doors and know how to turn a good conversation into an actual partnership.
- You know the Belgian media landscape and have already built a relevant network.
- You can advise clients and carry out their plans independently.
- You write clearly and convincingly, and know the difference between a sales message and a story with news value.
- You keep track of different clients, deadlines and projects.
- You communicate excellently in Dutch. A good knowledge of French and English is a plus.
- You're entrepreneurial: you don't wait until every step is mapped out, but take the initiative and move ideas forward.
What we offer you
- A key role in growing Small Talk further, with room to set the direction and make an impact yourself.
- The firepower of Hannibal: a full-service communications agency where strategy, creative, digital and PR come together.
- A varied mix of clients, sectors and communication challenges.
- Plenty of ownership, short lines and colleagues to spar and work with.
- A competitive salary package and benefits, in line with your experience and talent.
- A great work atmosphere.
- A few days in Berlin, Amsterdam, Budapest, Valencia … or wherever our next team trip takes us.
- Plenty of flexibility and headspace.
- You'll work from one of our offices in Roeselare and/or Gent.
