Account Executive, Entertainment Advocacy

Job Description

Are you passionate about the intersection of entertainment and social change? We have an immediate opening for an Account Executive on our Entertainment Advocacy team. The ideal person for this role is a pop culture junkie who cares about making the world a better place. You are following the latest story that has permeated the cultural zeitgeist, keeping up with leaders and changemakers who are fighting for social change and taking note of talent who have championed the issues that they care most about. This position will work on a range of client campaigns that amplify social issues in or around the world of entertainment.

The ideal person knows how to pitch a wide range of stories with examples including a celebrity volunteering with a nonprofit in PEOPLE Magazine, an open letter signed by talent in The Hollywood Reporter, or a first-person essay in Glamour. You have a creative and inventive voice and an opinion that matters (and you're not afraid to voice it). You wake up reading everything from Politico and The Washington Post to Puck News and the Los Angeles Times.

Responsibilities Include:
• Partnering with senior managers on achieving deliverables for a full roster of clients (average of 4 – 6).
• Managing media contact lists to build relationships with new publications and media contacts.
• Conducting regular and thorough research on various topics, flagging relevant news updates for teams/clients.
• Drafting, editing and proofreading materials including press releases, blog content, pitches, fact sheets, FAQs, briefing notes, and client correspondence.
• Planning and executing media-specific events including influencer events and press moments.
• Regularly bringing new opportunities for clients – media meetings, key introductions, etc.
• Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.

You Should Apply If:
• You have 3+ years of experience in public relations - particularly the worlds of entertainment or nonprofit communications
• You are eager and understand all aspects of integrated communications (media relations, social media, creative, brand integration, talent integration)
• You are a strong writer – persuasive, concise, creative, and quick!
• You have a growing list of relationships with media across a variety of verticals and know how to leverage those relationships to secure impactful media opportunities.
• You are a strategic thinker, bring new ideas to the table, and love a good brainstorm.
• You have strong decision-making abilities and accountability; this is an important role, own it!
• You have an innate curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit.
• You are incredibly organized, detail oriented and able to excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• You're willing to work select evenings/weekends and travel when necessary.
• You enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.
