Job Description
We have an opening for a Junior Account Executive on our Consumer Lifestyle Team based out of our Los Angeles Office. What does this mean? You have a strong foundation, and a clear understanding of what PR is, but most importantly, you love this work! We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is interested in learning the ins and outs of working with a variety of consumer brands in lifestyle, tech and pop culture. The ideal candidate has media relations experience and can make relevant media connections. If you are exceptionally detail-oriented, a creative thinker and can expertly coordinate across projects on the backend then we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities include
• Willingness and an interest to soak it all in; learn the ins and outs of integrated communications (talent/influencer integration, media relations, social media, creative and brand integration).
• 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, media, politics, public relations, etc.) If you don't, we're open to hearing you out
• 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 – the natural charmer you are can become best buds with ANYONE!
• 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…have a suggestion on making something better? We encourage you to do it!
• You are incredibly organized, detailoriented (see what I did there?), 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.
You don't HAVE to have this, but it sure would be nice:
• Are interested in social change and working with the different types of stakeholders that make an impact.
• A portfolio of media placements in local, regional, and national media outlets would be incredibly helpful!
• Previous experience using media research tools like Cision.
