About You
Suppose you're glued to your iPhone, religiously check your email the second you wake up and have reporters and producers on speed dial. In that case, you might be Commit Agency's next Public Relations Account Manager.
We're looking for that self-described news junkie who's a great storyteller and successful PR practitioner. You take your job seriously and have the results to show for it, like all those placements you scored that you can't wait to tell us about. You're resourceful, energetic, witty and beloved by the news pros, because you get them what they want-what they need-when they want it, with time to spare. This is what you love to do, day in and day out.
And here's what we'd like you to have:
- Four to six years' experience in marketing communications and/or public relations.
- Must have agency experience.
- Proficiency in PR tools such as (but not limited to) Critical Mention and Muck Rack.
- Self-directed and able to manage several projects at the same time.
- Ability to learn new skills quickly.
- Ability to react and respond quickly.
- Top-notch research skills.
- Highly organized.
- Effective media pitcher with success to back it up.
- Excellent communication skills (written and oral).
- Extensive contacts in local, state and national media.
Responsibilities & Details:

- Writes, distributes and pitches client and agency news to local, regional and national news outlets as determined.
