You will be the backbone of our account management and media relations initiatives. You get to work directly with clients, reporters and influencers, as a key part of our team.
Associates work with our founder and principals to create smart, effective PR strategies and establish the media programs to see campaigns come to fruition. You will bring your excellent writing skills, creativity, persistence and multitasking zen to this role, and help generate the very best media results that map to our clients’ business goals. As integrated partners, we often have the opportunity to work with clients to create branding, digital, social media, and marketing strategies, too.
What you’ll work on:
Our clients represent the most exciting technologies and products coming out of Silicon Valley at the moment – we work with brands in AI/machine learning, B2B, consumer lifestyle, personal finance, retail, and more. We are seeking account runners with strong media chops, with experience in:
