Responsibilities Include:
- Media Lead: Transition from supporting to leading media outreach. You leverage an established network to secure high-impact features, product reviews, and must-have placements in tech, lifestyle, and consumer publications.
- Integrated Narrative Execution: Architect and drive 360-degree campaigns that weave together traditional media relations, social media content, and creator/influencer partnerships.
- Account Stewardship: Own the day-to-day workstreams for a roster of 4–6 clients. You are the glue of the account—ensuring deliverables are met, junior staff is on track, and senior management is briefed.
- Content Command: Produce sophisticated, client-ready materials including brand messaging frameworks, press releases, product launch kits, and high-conversion media pitches.
- High-Stakes Activations: Lead the execution of media events, including festivals, press screenings, and influencer activations. You manage everything from invitation strategy and RSVPs to on-site media wrangling and post-event reporting.
- High EQ: You lead with high EQ and a calibrated ego. You have the confidence to represent the agency in senior-level rooms, but the situational awareness to know when to take a step back to support a colleague or a client’s specific needs.
- Mentorship in Action: You are a mentor to junior colleagues. You take genuine pride in teaching them the "how" and "why" of PR, from drafting the perfect pitch to managing a complex project tracker.
- Proactive Innovation: Regularly bring new opportunities to the table—from media meetings and key introductions to out-of-the-box creative ideas that show our value as strategic partners.
Who You Are:
- The Tech-Lifestyle Hybrid: 4–5 years of PR experience with a focus on technology, consumer brands, or high-growth startups. You know how to make complex tech feel like a lifestyle essential.
- An Integrated Storyteller: You understand the modern landscape and know how to bridge the gap between a Fast Company deep dive and a viral social moment.
- Strategic & Decisive: You bring new ideas to the table unprompted and have the accountability to own your projects from start to finish.
- Exceptionally Organized: You are a master of the backend—agendas, recaps, and project trackers are second nature to you.
- Professional & Accountable: You understand that we are in a people business. How you treat your co-workers, your clients, and the media matters.
- Driven to Over-Deliver: You take pride in exceeding expectations and have an entrepreneurial spirit that pushes you to make every process and pitch better.
