Responsibilities
Drive smart account and client programming – from creatively ideating on ideas (events, activations, programs) to putting pen to paper on drafting out strategy and tactical execution recommendations. You will be responsible for not only helping come up with the big ideas but also helping drive the team to execute seamlessly and flawlessly against those ideas
You would be the leader and the course-setter for a highly functioning team focused primarily on smart external communications ideas and programs. Expectation is you will have the confidence to actively lead and direct them, to be the one coming up with creative new ideas and ways to approach goals and objectives for a campaign, and also be willing to roll up your sleeves in the work as well.
Ability to not only work seamlessly and easily in a cross-functional, fully integrated (marketing, traditional communications, digital) environment with multiple players, with various goals – but to also maximize and capitalize on this integrated environment (being able to build on other ideas and programs, listen for ways to be able to insert)
Specifically, some of the work you would be doing on a day-to-day basis includes:
Create and implement smart and creative external / earned media strategies, innovative social and digital strategy (working closely with our digital teams), proactive executive thought leadership programming and complementary internal communications plans on behalf of client
Develop, oversee and execute corporate reputation, stakeholder engagement and integrated marketing and communications programs and campaigns
Provide guidance and counsel to internal teams on media strategy and direction (smart media lists, compelling pitches, announcement release strategies), content creation and editorial management, and creative services work to ensure high-quality deliverables to meet client needs.
Maintain a thorough understanding of clients' businesses and industries, and the industry issues that directly and indirectly affect the client
Serve as a key senior member of the account team, management and coaching of junior team members and inspiring emerging leaders in our agency
