The role involves assisting with public relations strategies, drafting materials, scheduling client meetings, and supporting senior managers in delivering client projects.
Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is proud to represent clients across many industries including entertainment, social good, tech and lifestyle and we tell their stories through a variety of mediums. We’re proud of each and every campaign we execute, but you may be wondering why we don’t have more than a landing page as our website. While many of our clients are household names (you know them, we’re sure of it), our digital footprint is purposefully small. We fly under the radar and we like it that way.
If you are fired up and ready to do good, join us!
We have an immediate opening for an Junior Account Executive in our growing Strategy & Crisis team. What does this mean? You’re cool and calm under pressure and view multitasking across multiple timely projects as the norm. Your analytical skills are tough to beat, and you’re able to strategize a best course of action based on research, data and measurement. You wake up every day reading everything from POLITICO and The Washington Post to the The Hollywood Reporter, and also have a keen understanding of how to navigate the social media landscape and its various platforms. You’re able to move quickly and want to learn from top crisis communications specialists.
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 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, crisis, tech, politics, public relations, etc.)
- 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.
