Freelance PR Manager / Communications Manager – Real Estate/Property
Contract: Freelance (Retainer) , 1 day per week
Start: ASAP
Day Rate: £250–£280 (depending on experience)
Location: London-based - hybrid (in-person availability for meetings)
Don’t just play the PR game - play to win. You focus on impact, not inboxes.
You’re an experienced PR operator who thrives on autonomy, action and outcomes. You’ve got a black book full of trade journo contacts, know how to turn a site visit into a feature, and deliver consistent, high-value B2B coverage in the places that matter.
We’re looking for a seasoned freelance PR Manager to take the reins of our B2B and trade-facing press office. You’ll lead the charge in shaping and executing our PR strategy, building relationships across the property and commercial real estate media, and landing high-impact coverage that positions Spacemade at the heart of the future-of-work conversation.
This role is ideal for a commercially minded PR freelancer with a track record of success in the property, real estate, or workspace space – someone who’s just as comfortable pitching a journalist as they are reporting against a quarterly comms strategy.
What You’ll Be Doing
You'll work directly with our brand, marketing and sales leads to develop and deliver an always-on PR programme that drives awareness, relevance and credibility for Spacemade and our location sub-brands.
🎯 Create and own our PR strategy – Build and deliver a plan with clear objectives, KPIs and a compelling narrative rooted in our mission, sector, and growth ambitions.
🗞️ Craft media content – Draft and distribute compelling press releases, feature ideas, quotes, and commentary tailored to the B2B property and real estate trade.
📣 Lead proactive media outreach – Pitch story ideas and comment opportunities to the right journalists at the right time – and follow up with purpose.
🧑💼 Maintain a best-in-class press office – Manage inbound enquiries, coordinate interviews, facilitate site walk-throughs and press visits, and keep messaging consistent.
📊 Track and report results – Measure what matters. From coverage to strategic impact, you’ll deliver regular reporting and quarterly reviews that show clear ROI.
🤝 Collaborate cross-functionally – Align with Spacemade’s wider brand and commercial objectives, feeding insights back into marketing, sales and partnerships.
Who you are…
You’re someone who’s been around the block and knows what works. You’re a confident operator, able to manage your own time, own your strategy, and get results – all within a lean freelance rhythm.
You’ll likely have:
Significant PR experience, with a strong focus on property, real estate or commercial workspace
A proven track record of securing trade and B2B media coverage in relevant publications
Strong relationships with key journalists, editors and commentators in the property and real estate space
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including pitch writing and storytelling
Confidence managing a press office solo – from reactive enquiries to proactive outreach
Experience reporting on PR outcomes and linking coverage to strategic brand goals
A resourceful, self-sufficient style and the ability to drive momentum independently
London-based or able to attend key press meetings, site tours or events where needed
Bonus if you’ve also worked across hospitality, placemaking or future-of-work narratives.
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You...
Know the property PR landscape inside out – and have the contacts and content to prove it
Are energised by the freelance rhythm, working flexibly and independently with accountability for results
Enjoy getting stuck in – strategising, writing, pitching, reporting, and everything in between
Bring a commercial lens to PR – understanding what matters to journalists and what drives value for the business
Feel at home at the intersection of flexible work, lifestyle, property and design
