You have a strong foundation and a clear understanding of what PR is and, most importantly, you love this work! This is a great role for someone who has a wide range of interests and just really wants to DO. You have all this energy, are building amazing relationships but just want more. Maybe consumer? Perhaps events? Fashion? We are major proponents of the generalist mentality with an entrepreneurial spirit – if you want to build it, we'll encourage it!

• Assisting in developing and executing comprehensive public relations strategies.
• Drafting, editing and proofreading talent/influencer materials including travel itineraries, creative briefs, client materials, memos, agendas, blog content, pitches, fact sheets, FAQs, briefing notes, and client correspondence.
• Scheduling and providing logistical support for client meetings and events.
• Supporting senior managers in achieving deliverables for a full roster of clients (average of 4 – 6).
• Monitoring news cycles and flagging latest ''pop culture moments'', competitor news, for clients.
• Creating and maintaining lists! Lots of lists! Specifically, media lists.
• Communicating effectively with senior staff on status of requested tasks and projects.
• Assisting in planning and executing integrated events
• Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.
• Support administration of accounts including developing agendas, meeting recaps, activity reports, client status reports, budget trackers, etc.

You should apply if:
• You have 2+ years of experience in this industry (communications, entertainment, politics, public relations, etc.)
• You are eager and open to learning 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 are eager to network and build connections in the media industry.
• 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 – our clients often need us to GO, GO, GO!
• You enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.
