Sunshine Sachs 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 know that even during the toughest times, our responsibility to our clients and each other can bring meaningful and long-lasting impact for those affected the most. 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 Account Director in our New York City or Los Angeles offices on the Film/Television/Streaming team. What does this mean? You've been doing this for a bit (at least 7 years) and are looking for your next challenge and opportunity. This is a role for someone who has a strong background in media relations, great press contacts and a clear understanding of how to maneuver the many facets of a film or television release. You understand festivals, awards, the new streaming platform landscape, have a great understanding of the entertainment industry as a whole and lots of experience working in it!
You know the ins and outs of the television/film/streaming world - not just how to work a red carpet premiere, but also how to develop strategic campaigns, cultivate out-of-the-box ideas, rethink traditional concepts, drive engagement online and offline, and establish media opportunities for talent and influencers to participate and support. They are passionate about bringing entertainment moments to life and they understand how to work with talent, partners, vendors, and other teams without skipping a beat.
Our candidate is curious. While they will work on entertainment clients, they are also likely to touch production companies, directors or content creators. They see this as a challenge and opportunity to grow their skills.
Our account directors lead accounts (no surprise there), counseling the client, providing fresh ideas, motivating the team, ensuring goals are being met and…they still pitch!
Our agency is integrated, and our Account Directors frequently work on accounts that involve aspects of brand integration, influencer integration, digital strategy, etc. While we don't expect you to be fluent in all of these areas, we anticipate that this will excite you!
Core Skills & Responsibilities
A great Account Director truly excels at leading client accounts. They show tremendous leadership potential at the company. They are a positive influence, a team player, patient teachers and mentors to junior staff. They empower junior staff and help them grow. They are honest with themselves and upper management about their work. They have good instincts and challenge the team to think bigger. They are creative and push their account teams and the company to do better and think out of the box. They are solutions-oriented. They understand their clients' business goals and are constantly mapping back to ensure our work is directly having an impact on them. They are not afraid to push back and challenge a client if the direction being given won't result in the ROI they are looking for.
They delegate respectfully and effectively to junior staff. They are clear about deadlines, roles and responsibilities and expectations.
Responsibilities Include
Leading account teams and managing projects from start to finish.
Developing and executing comprehensive integrated media and communications strategies.
Developing an impactful and trusting relationship with clients
Managing complex client issues and will see the client through stressful situations that will require thoughtful counsel.
Leading new business meetings, creating proposals as needed.
Partnering and collaborating with senior level colleagues throughout the agency on integrated (and bi-coastal) accounts.
Participating in new business meetings, creating proposals as needed.
Training and mentoring junior staff on the inner workings and executions of PR, media relations, and overall client management. This is incredibly important to us!
Responding to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.
You Should Apply If:
You have at least 7-8 years of public relations experience, with a focus on film and television
You are a strong writer - persuasive, concise, creative, and quick!
You have a growing list of relationships with entertainment media and know how to leverage those relationships to secure impactful media opportunities.
You are a strategic thinker, bring new ideas to the table, and love a good brainstorm.
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 enjoy overdelivering rather than meeting expectations and take genuine pride in being part of something good.
You make friends wherever you go. I mean, your co-workers are basically your roommates…don't be uncool ;)
