Careers at Purplex
Strategists, writers, designers, filmmakers, developers, PR and digital specialists and account managers, mostly at Unit 200 in Weston-super-Mare. If you’re good at what you do, we’d like to hear from you, whether or not there’s a vacancy.
How we got here
A PR assistant who’s now our PR Manager, someone who came from the beauty industry, a writer who was nudged into applying by a colleague at his old job, and a director who met Andrew at a networking event. In their own words.
When I started here, I started right at the bottom.
StephPR Manager
It’s completely different for me, because I’m from a beauty background.
