Support event- and tradeshow-driven initiatives by assisting with press planning, media appointments, onsite/digital press room needs, and post-event follow-up; help capture and repurpose content for ongoing visibility.

Oversee and coordinate influencer and creator initiatives in partnership with account and digital teams, including identification, outreach support, briefing, timeline management, and reporting on results.

Brief and oversee creative/design deliverables (graphics, video, presentations, and other assets) to ensure quality, accuracy, and brand alignment; coordinate production timelines across internal and external partners.

Own coverage tracking and reporting, including recaps, qualitative highlights, and measurable outcomes (placements, impressions, share-of-voice, referral traffic, lead indicators, etc.) where applicable.

Supervise and mentor junior team members and interns as needed; provide guidance, quality control, and training to maintain strong execution standards across media lists, research, drafting, and reporting.

Serve in a proactive role to assist agency owners and senior team members with streamlining best practices for client account management and contributing to the growth of the agency.
