About this role

You’ll work alongside strategists and creatives from the earliest stages of an idea, helping shape work that’s built to earn attention — not just buy it. This isn’t traditional PR. It’s about helping great ideas become impossible to ignore .

Shape Ideas That Break Out

• Help shape campaigns that are inherently talkable, shareable, and newsworthy .
Build the Story
• Define the narrative, hook, and cultural angle that makes our ideas compelling to journalists, creators, and audiences.
• In other words: help answer the question, why should anyone care?
Help Our Ideas Travel
• Find ways for ideas to move beyond paid media — through creator collaborations, cultural partnerships, and media moments.
Build the Right Relationships
• Develop relationships with journalists, editors, creators, and cultural voices who help great ideas reach the world.
• Know who to call when we have something worth talking about.
Help Sell Big Ideas
• Help tell the story behind our work in client presentations — showing how ideas can spark conversation and create real cultural impact .
Who You Are
• ~7+ years in PR, earned media, cultural marketing, or creative strategy
• Comfortable collaborating with creative teams and senior clients
• A strong storyteller who can turn ideas into stories people want to share
• Curious about culture, media, creators, and where attention is shifting
• A natural relationship builder
