Diversity with a purpose - Chairman Curzon PR Employee Review

Very interesting clients from global corporates to middle eastern royalty. Diverse range of clients including lots of government work. Get to travel a lot as agency is hyper global with clients around the world. Research and data led, always learning about new countries, sectors etc through client projects Hybrid of full time staffers and consultant global network with good flexibility and remote working options Pure meritocracy, once you are in, your job title and salary reviews are based on competence and skills rather than years of experience and fancy universities Management is good and supportive to team. CEO is demanding but a great teacher to learn from and develop. Positive can do attitude to client projects Big focus on training and skills development The core staffers are nice bunch and feel like family after working together for years.

Multiple phases of quality approval before work is sent out of agency, which can be frustrating when managing timelines. Seeing docs have 7 rounds of edits is not unusual! Short lead times to events etc which can create pressure to execute fast Not the best agency to join if you cannot take pressure, deadlines etc Lack of team bonding events, important as there are many consultants and staffers who do not work on the same projects. Need to be flexible as there are always projects that are given to you with tight deadlines and you just have to get on with it. People who are naturally a bit slow in their work do not do well here.

PR agency running off the CEO’s networking and roladex.

CEO is all charms whilst you are being hired then turns into a micro manager control freak and is also a bully. This company has a bad reputation and has an extremely high staff turnover because the owner has a monster ego. She also uses people and expects everyone to be at her beck and call.
