Your focus will be on nurturing strong client relationships, proactively managing media outreach, and executing campaigns that tell compelling stories. Whether it’s writing effective press releases, organising a press trip, or following up with journalists, you’ll be fully engaged in the practical delivery of results that matter.
You will work closely with media contacts and help manage budgets to make sure projects stay on track. The role also includes maintaining supplier relationships, securing broadcast opportunities, and looking for ways to grow existing accounts through value-adding services like event support or media training.

- Keep a close eye on consumer and trade media for coverage opportunities and brand mentions.
- Attend relevant events to represent the client, including press trips, media events, and trade shows.
- Monitor project budgets to ensure work remains within agreed financial limits and delivers value.
- Work with third-party suppliers when needed, ensuring quality and cost-efficiency.
- Identify relevant market trends through ongoing research and analysis, providing insights that support the client’s image.
- Pursue additional opportunities within existing accounts to expand our service offering.
What You’ll Bring
You have at least three years of hands-on PR experience, ideally in the travel or lifestyle sector, and you’re ready to jump into a fast-paced environment. You're an enthusiastic communicator with a keen eye for opportunities, a “can-do” mindset, and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once. You love writing, storytelling, building media relationships, and making things happen.
Other must-haves include:
- Strong Dutch and English language skills, both written and spoken.
- A solid understanding of media relations and content creation.
- Confidence managing budgets and working with external suppliers.
