Every day is different at AMBITIOUS. A different problem to solve, brainstorm to be involved in, inspiring speaker to learn from. And that’s just work. There are also TV shows to debate, football scores to celebrate and Bristol hotspots to recommend. We’re a passionate bunch. Passionate about PR, yes, but we’re also passionate about life. There’s never a dull moment and you’ll find someone to share even your most niche interests.
Our South West team comes from all corners of the UK, from the north coast of Hartlepool to the deepest depths of Cornwall. One thing we all have in common is our love of our shared home, Bristol. AMBITIOUS is based in the heart of Clifton and we make the most of that every day. The office is surrounded by some of the best coffee shops, restaurants and bars in the city. It’s the icing on the cake of what is a fun, inclusive and dynamic working environment.
Life at AMBITIOUS will never be dull. Not as long as we have the city as our backdrop to the personalities that make the place tick. If you want to learn more about what makes this place special, then find out about our values, our community and the relationships we have across the city.

We are an equal opportunities employer and actively encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented groups.
We want to draw talent from a more diverse range of candidates and know that it’s an area we need to improve. To help us address this challenge we partner with industry initiatives and social enterprises like Strive Internship Scheme and Babbasa to help us reach a wider pool of candidates.
Please let us know if you require us to make any adjustments to support your application process.
We take the opportunity to get involved in giving back to the local community. Our approach has always been ‘if we can we can, we should’. It’s part of AMBITIOUS agency life that the team love to support.
From backing personal passions close to home with every member of the team taking turns to choose a local charity to receive an agency donation to mentoring young people to delivering probono PR work to social enterprise Babbasa as part of an annual commitment, there’s sure to be something to get stuck into.
