Blackstock Consulting is London’s leading property PR company. We’re a boutique, 14-person team known for being creative, provocative, rigorous and highly effective whether it’s writing major reports, driving media coverage across TV and broadsheets or offering strategic advice to clients.

The company’s culture is more tech start-up than conservative public affairs firm, but there is a strong policy element to everything we do and a lot of work is with major institutions, listed companies and high growth businesses.

Uniquely, Blackstock provides regular market analysis across broadcast and print media - viewable on our YouTube page. Our in-house podcast series has become a popular part of the industry and our core management team has worked together consistently for years.

You don’t need to have property experience, but you do need to have meticulous English and be confident dealing with people.

We typically offer full-time roles to high-performing interns and should you join us permanently, you’ll be better paid than any of our competitors; have 28 days holiday (plus bank holidays); work flexibly in a great new Farringdon office; have the future option of equity in the company; and benefit from regular socials and a flat, open company structure.
