About Us:
Codeword is a communication design agency that helps brands create breakthrough comms, content, and community experiences.
We’re a fast-moving team of writers, editors, designers, strategists, videographers, PR mavens, and even a few traditional marketers.
Our incredible roster of big and small tech clients trust us to launch their startups, run multi-channel campaigns, grow their user bases, and lead comprehensive PR and marketing initiatives. We're storytellers and brand engineers, and we love big ideas that serve a real purpose.
Codeword is a remote-first agency, though we have physical offices in NYC and SF that we won’t make you visit.
About You:
About This Role:
This Account Executive will report to VP Liv Allen (who’s amazing), and will be a key player in executing our strategic PR programs. You’ll support the day-to-day operations for a broad portfolio of clients (on no more than 6 though), playing a critical role in upholding excellence and delivery of industry-leading PR results.
An Account Executive benefits from a healthy dose of curiosity, as you’ll be trendspotting and researching across your client industries. You’ll complete the first drafts of creative work, press materials and support the generation of out-of-the-box ideas.
You’ll hone your skills in written and verbal client communication, as well as heavily support account management deliverables that help our programs run efficiently and effectively.
This is one of the heaviest media relations roles on the PR team with an expectation that you’ll be proactively developing hard-hitting story angles that regularly turn into high-impact media results for clients.
You’re growing your own industry reputation and Rolodex, and feel passionate about meeting with journalists, influencers, and industry experts.
Previous experience in the tech (B2B or B2C) and startup worlds is helpful, as well as a deep understanding of the shifting earned media landscape and how to measure the value of a PR win.
You’ll thrive if you’re an energetic and nimble self-starter that’s comfortable with shifting timelines and priorities. The right candidate doesn’t shy away from receiving or giving feedback (even to managers), shooting their shot with a crazy idea, or raising their hand for a challenge.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Your Compensation:
People – that's you! – are the heart of our business, and we believe in pay transparency.
Our budget for this role is $60K - $75K, depending on experience.
