Our clients include some of the world’s most significant technology brands (Microsoft, Vodafone, Logica), as well as vertical sector specialists, which dominate their sector, such as GlobeOp and Fiserv, and a raft of boutique players. In recent years Metia has been ranked PR Week Number 1 Tech PR Consultancy 2006, 2007 and 2008 and has also won awards for its integrated PR, AR & marketing programmes from B2B Marketing, ISP, PRSA and PR Week.

We know we are only as good as our people, so we take personal pride in creating a supportive environment, where over-achievement is encouraged, recognised and rewarded.

Our approach
Achieving positive results for our clients, in terms of great exposure and lead generation, demands a considered strategy, finely-tuned messaging and a consistent approach. At Metia, we know how to communicate complex business messages and ensure they resonate with the right target audience.

Who we are looking for
We are currently looking for an enthusiastic junior account manager with experience either as an analyst or in analyst relations (preferably from the agency-side). Within Metia’s Influence department, we have a team of people dedicated to AR. This makes us true specialists in the field and unlike many other agencies. Our focus is on delivering strategic consultancy and other AR services to a diverse portfolio of B2B financial technology and services clients.
