Account Coordinator

Account Coordinator – Publishing & B2C/B2B Brands

Best Workplaces and PR Week Best Places to Work in 2022, we are known for our results-focused approach and exceptional client services. We are savvy storytellers and media matchmakers; big thinkers and bold doers. We love what we do – and have a lot of fun doing it. And, we’re in search of an exceptional Account Coordinator to join our team and represent some of the world’s most iconic brands in the publishing, consumer product, and licensing industries.

Now, a little bit about you 

You’re ready to kick start your career in public relations. You’ve gained at least one year of real experience through internships or your first position, and have an educational background studying public relations, communications, journalism, marketing, or a related field. You love what you’ve learned so far and are eager to take it to the real world.  

You’re a creative writer and thinker. From brainstorming unique news hooks and inspirational brand campaigns to clever ideas and copy for product mailers, you have a flair for creativity and add it into all your work. 

You’re passionate about pop culture. You love to get lost in a good news story, and stay up to date on all kinds of entertainment: books, movies, TV, celebrities, and fashion. You’re well-versed in TikTok and Instagram, and you’ve got your eye on trends and celebrity gossip.  

You’re okay doing the nitty gritty. PR isn’t all glitz and glam – there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. You could be running product to the city for a TV segment, assembling and packaging samples in a rush to meet editorial deadlines, setting up and breaking down events, and more. All these small pieces lead to big successes. 

You’ll be the foundational support for your team. You’ll keep your team organized to a tee, as you’ll be responsible for maintaining coverage trackers, assisting with client reports, and more. 

You know what makes a great pitch. You have a keen interest in news media and social influencers and love discovering up-and-coming personalities. You have media relations experience from your previous positions, including reaching out and establishing connections with relevant contacts.  

You have an innate love for research. You’ll monitor for media and influencer placements, research reporters to create media lists, uncover new influencers across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and more. 

You know how to prioritize. You diligently meet deadlines, are extremely organized, and know how to shift gears when priorities change (which they can, very quickly!)  

How you’ll make an impact 

You’ll create long-lasting relationships with media and influencer contacts. A big part of your day will be proactive media relations – identifying and pitching press and influencers. PR is never one and done; you’ll build long-lasting relationships with the contacts you work with. 

You’ll learn several elements of the PR mix. One day you’re mingling with top tier media or influencers at a client event or virtual deskside, the next day you’re reading a manuscript to begin research for a new promotional book campaign. No two days are ever the same. 

Your voice will be heard. We strive to provide a collaborative, creative environment where each person feels encouraged to contribute to our processes, decisions, planning, and culture. 

Why you’ll love it here 

We offer great benefits. In addition to a competitive salary base and compensation plan, we offer a great health insurance program. Employees are also eligible for long and short term disability benefits, life insurance, a medical flexible spending account, and a 401k program. 

We believe life comes first, and provide flexibility to work how you work best. Hybrid work policy, flex hours, paid holidays, generous paid vacation time, up to 20 weeks parental leave for those who need it, and time to rest and recharge while we are closed between Christmas and New Year’s. We do not count sick days (for physical or mental health). Oh, and did we mention that you get PTO for your birthday and the agency closes at 1pm on Fridays – all year long?! 

We have fun. A lot of fun. We love to get together and find lots of reasons to celebrate throughout the year. A day at the salon, a murder mystery “date night,” and a trip to see the legendary NYC Rockettes are just a few examples from the past year alone!

We celebrate each other and our community. Employees are encouraged to give kudos and share gratitude with those who gave them a helping hand within our “Big Thinkers, Bold Doers” chats and happy hours. We host monthly LPR Happenings, a catered lunch where we highlight recent successes and share helpful insights. We also pay it forward; employees are encouraged to participate in agency-led volunteer projects throughout the year. 

We provide room for growth. We invest in our team and are seriously committed to professional advancement (our weekly StormShops and monthly Litzky Labs provide the foundation). Need proof? The President of our agency started out as an LPR intern.
