  • Collaborate closely with Product Marketing, Corporate Communications, Content, social media, Product, and Design teams to identify compelling narratives and timely story opportunities.

  • Work directly with economists, analysts, and data teams to translate complex property market data into accessible, media-ready insights.

  • Draft LinkedIn posts to support external PR activity and messaging

  • Assist in creating simple visual assets (e.g., social tiles, infographics, slides) to support key messages.

  • Monitor daily media coverage and industry trends, providing regular analysis and recommendations to optimise PR strategy and messaging.

  • Manage incoming media inquiries, including requests for data, commentary, and executive interviews.

  • Track current events and housing-related news to generate timely, relevant, and newsworthy press opportunities.

  • Produce approximately 3–5 data-driven press releases per month across residential topics.
