About us
Cohn & Wolfe Corporate Affairs is an award winning division with an impressive range of clients including high street retail banks covering pensions, insurance, credit cards and loans as products.
 
We are not your traditional Corporate team. We do amazing high end strategic corporate work, on very big brands, which require serious industry knowledge, but we also put creative ideas at the heart of what we do.  We don’t wear suits to work unless absolutely necessary and we have lots of fun along the way. 
 
Our team is made up of nice talented people – and the ‘nice’ part is as important as the ‘talented’ part. We look for people who’d be happy at Cohn & Wolfe – a vibrant meritocratic environment where you can go as far as you’re capable of going, as quickly as you decide. And it’s fun.
 
As a corporate team, we have big ambitions.  We have spent the last two years building specialist teams across a range of industry sectors to meet demand from corporate clients for deep sectoral knowledge. 
 
Our approach is working and we are experiencing record-breaking growth in 2011.  As a result we are now looking to recruit an experienced Account Director.  This person will be a self-starting dynamo ready to excite our existing clients and open the doors to new prospects on the strength of their own experience.
