Why pursue a career in PR & Communications?
PR & Communications keeps expanding as brands fight harder for attention and trust. Birmingham has become a real hub for agencies and in-house teams outside London, with lower costs and a deep talent pool feeding demand. Good PR people who can think strategically and write well are always in short supply, and that scarcity tends to pay.
