Responsibilities

• Serve as day-to-day contact for a roster of institutional clients who adore clarity, competence, and the occasional meme.
• Develop long-term PR strategies, messaging arcs, and angles compelling enough to make journalists actually reply to emails.
• Pitch and coordinate stories with national and local press across print, radio, online, and “we swear this actually gets good engagement” social platforms.
• Manage press on-site at events, concerts, and festivals—making sure everything runs smoothly while looking effortlessly calm.
• Be the first call, the trusted sounding board, the steady hand, and the person who always knows what’s happening when.
• Communicate with in-house marketing and communications teams, keeping projects aligned, informed, gloriously successful and blissfully drama-free.
• Help clients understand what will actually make an impact, gently rescuing them from ideas that definitely won’t.
• Oversee and grow clients’ social media channels, digital campaigns, and overall online presence.
• Build content plans that actually move the needle (or at least make someone pause mid-scroll).
• Collaborate with clients and our internal creatives to assemble and distribute photos, videos, graphics, and all the other shiny assets that make the people go wild.

Preferred
