The Role:
- Entertainment Industry Immersion: Exhibit a relentless interest in soaking up the "ins and outs" of personal representation, media relations, and integrated storytelling for talent.
- Media Infrastructure: Own the lists. You will be responsible for creating and maintaining the meticulous media databases that are critical to our team's pitching success.
- Cultural Intelligence: Act as the team’s radar. Monitor news cycles and social media to flag pop culture moments, competitor updates, and breaking entertainment news for our clients.
- Administrative Foundation: Support the health of 4–6 accounts by managing the backend essentials: developing agendas, meeting recaps, activity reports, and budget trackers.
- Logistical & Talent Support: Provide essential support for client meetings and events. This includes scheduling, managing RSVPs, and occasionally providing on-site staffing support for red carpets and press moments.
- Professional Ambassadorship: As a key point of contact for guests and vendors, you will greet visitors and manage light office duties (such as preparing conference rooms or the rooftop for meetings) with a professional, courteous, and inclusive demeanor.
- The Relationship Standard: You recognize that we are a people business. You lead by example in how you treat your co-workers, clients, and the media—prioritizing trust and discretion above all else.
Who You Are:
- The Emerging Professional: You have roughly 1 year of experience in the entertainment or PR industry. You are ready to exhibit the behaviors of a successful communications pro.
- Emotional EQ: You demonstrate a high level of emotional maturity. You can read the room, maintain a calm demeanor around high-profile talent, and communicate effectively with senior staff under pressure.
- A Strong Writer: You are fast, persuasive, and detail-oriented. You can take complex notes and turn them into a concise, clear recap or draft pitch.
- Exceptionally Organized: You have an eagle eye for detail and can manage multiple tasks simultaneously without letting the small things slip.
- An Integrated Thinker: You are eager to collaborate across our agency groups—from social and creative to brand integration—to help tell a client's 360-degree story.
- Driven to Over-Deliver: You take genuine pride in your work and are willing to work select evenings and weekends when the project requires extra support.
