PRoactive? PRagmatic? PRofessional?
Hotwire has established itself as one of Europe’s hottest technology public relations consultancies. Over the past six years, we have grown rapidly and made a decisive mark in the technology PR market. Since day one our mantra has been ‘next generation PR today’. This means an amazing team, a real flair for creativity, implementation based on tried and tested processes and an approach to measurement and transparency that means the client is in control.
Hotwire is consistently recognised as one of the PR industry’s most ambitious and accomplished companies, winning awards each year which honour its people and campaigns: 2007 saw Hotwire named as PRWeek’s International Consultancy of the Year, win the PRWeek Best Technology Campaign award for client NetNames and win the prestigious SABRE award for Best Pan-European Campaign.
Hotwire, together with its exciting new sister agency Skywrite, specialises in corporate, trade and consumer PR programmes for companies in the technology industry. Today we have offices in London, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan and Madrid and work for some of the most exciting and innovative technology brands in Europe including NEC, O2, Duracell, Shazam and Tiscali.

Please apply if you are an excellent communicator both verbally and on paper; have a real understanding of what PR involves; enthusiasm for technology and what it can enable; as well as being ambitious and focussed about your career.
