About the Agency

Élysée (a-lee-say) Collective is a full-service comms agency specialising in delivering exceptional coverage for luxury lifestyle brands across travel, beauty, hospitality and lifestyle. Led by Alice Moore (Travel Weekly PR Woman of the Year 2023), working at this agency offers a front-row seat to the world of luxury PR, where you’ll collaborate on a star-studded portfolio of iconic global brands to secure the best editorial coverage, craft high-profile collaborations and dream up once-in-a-lifetime events.

Beyond positioning brands in top-tier media across print, digital and TV, you’ll be tasked with thinking outside the box when it comes to event conceptualisation, executing A-list brand collaborations and orchestrating influencer partnerships. From planning soirées for the latest launch from French candlemaker Trudon to strategically shaping the unveiling of a new luxury brand to the Australian market, you’ll be at the centre of creating the country’s most exclusive moments. 

This is the ideal agency for someone with a passion for the world of luxury, with strong editorial instincts and a knack for knowing what makes headlines. With a high-trust, high-energy environment, Élysée Collective offers a unique opportunity to lead a team and grow professionally without the corporate red tape of larger agencies.

Unlike traditional agencies, Élysée Collective doesn’t operate in silos. Team members work across a diverse portfolio, gaining hands-on experience and the opportunity to create and lead high-profile campaigns. The agency values media relationships highly, often assigning “star clients” to support team members, build credibility and expand their industry connections.

From 5-star hotels and premium skincare to French champagne houses and luxury luggage, the agency’s portfolio encompasses some of the most prestigious global brands in travel, beauty, beverages and lifestyle. Clients include the likes of Aman, Creed, Perrier-Jouët and Ponant to name a few.

Élysée Collective operates a culture of trust, collaboration and mutual respect. The team works hard, but flexibility is offered when trust is built. Say goodbye to overtime with refreshing boundaries – most days the office clears out by 5:30 pm.

And as for perks? You’ll enjoy early previews of high-end products, from premium candles, skincare and beverages to luxury hotels, spas and restaurants. Plus, take the opportunity to network at top-tier events for glamorous product and venue launches, press showings and more.
