Your Mission:
To enlist celebrity support of PETA campaigns and initiatives, including social media campaigns, public service announcements, and advocacy events
What Your Day Will Look Like:
• Organizing celebrity projects, including photo shoots and the production and editing of radio and TV commercials. This may sound glamorous, but it's no easy feat.
• Supervising the execution of events and working with media campaign staff members to ensure appropriate media coverage
• Developing and maintaining relationships with entertainment industry professionals (e.g., agencies, publicity firms, management companies, photographers, stylists)
• Writing letters to celebrities encouraging them to get involved in various PETA campaigns or to stop supporting industries or acts that harm animals (e.g., wearing fur, buying an animal from a pet store, attending an animal-based circus, eating foie gras)
• Writing scripts, ad copy, and text for celebrity letters after celebrities sign on to participate in campaigns
• Working with key senior staff members to create pitch ideas that will become the next big thing for animal rights
• Keeping thorough records in the celebrity database of the important interactions between PETA and celebrities
• Staying current on celebrity news and events, including the issues and events that are important to them, so that you can respond with relevant information
• Finally, you'll be assisting the special projects manager with other responsibilities specific to celebrity outreach.
How to Land This Role:
• To start things off, extensive firsthand knowledge of the entertainment industry is a must. This is not a ''get your feet wet'' position.
• Working with high-profile individuals requires the ability to be honest, reliable, and discreet. Experience working in a similar field will show us that you have what it takes.
• You're going to be working with celebrities, publicity firms, and stylists, so the ability to deal with a variety of people in a professional manner will be critical.
• Contracts need to be negotiated and photo shoots need to be organized, and it all has to happen under a tight budget, so we need someone who is an A-list multitasker with a lot of drive. Make sure that your résumé outlines how you've run similar projects.
• We are always looking for top-notch writers, so perfectly presented application materials will go a long way.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail will help you keep everything on track, so résumés with grammar or other errors will be rejected. Sorry, but we can't risk it.
• Many people say that they ''thrive under pressure,'' but this position has no shortage of tight deadlines, so you must really be able to crank out high-quality work within short timeframes.
• This position is responsible for getting our message out to celebrities, so you must know PETA campaigns and animal rights issues inside and out.
• You must support PETA's philosophy and have the ability to professionally advocate our positions on issues.
• Naturally, you'd need to be committed to the objectives of the organization, and living a vegan lifestyle would be a part of this.
