Senior Account Executive

This is a Full Time Job

So, what are we looking for?
We have an immediate opening for a Senior Account Executive in Entertainment our Los Angeles Office. What does this mean? You've been doing this for a bit (about 5 years or so) and are looking for your next challenge and opportunity. This is a role for someone who has an interest in all facets of the entertainment industry from awards shows, music festivals, personal representation and film/TV. The ideal candidate has an appetite for pop-culture, versed in the latest trends, has an attention for detail, curious by nature and most of all - drive! You've been on the same account for a bit now and really want to try your hand at something else - this is your chance! We are major proponents of the generalist mentality, with an entrepreneurial spirit - you can speak on anything and are a Jack/Jane/Juan/Julia of all trades! :-)

Responsibilities Include:
• Drafting, developing, and executing comprehensive communications strategies.
• Conducting regular and thorough research on various topics, flagging relevant news updates for teams/clients.
• Drafting, editing and proofreading materials including press releases, blog content, pitches, fact sheets, FAQs, briefing notes, and client correspondence.
• Planning and executing media-specific events including influencer events and press conferences. Support would include developing invite lists, managing RSVPs, wrangling media on-site, drafting and distributing post-event releases, etc.
• Partnering with senior managers on achieving deliverables for a full roster of clients (average of 4 - 6).
• Developing an impactful and trusting relationship with clients
• Managing media contact lists to build relationships with new publications and media contacts.
• Participating in new business meetings, creating proposals as needed.
• Regularly bringing new opportunities for clients - media meetings, key introductions, etc.
• Proactively mentor and teach junior team members on account teams (really important for us)
• Working with senior management to respond to client requests and ensure requests are taken care of in an efficient manner.

You should apply if:
• You have 5+ years of experience in communications, music, public relations, integrated media relations, event execution, etc.
• You are eager and understand 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 have a growing list of relationships with media across a variety of verticals 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 strong decision-making abilities and accountability; this is an important role, own it!
• You have great judgment and can make ''the call'' as needed.
• 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 make friends wherever you go. I mean, your co-workers are basically your roommates…don't be uncool :-)

You don't HAVE to have this, but it sure would be nice:
• Previous experience using media research tools like Cision.
• Fluency in a second language, or third! (written and spoken)
• You have digital integrated experience.
