NEW YORK-BASED MANAGER OR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS AND DIGITAL MARKETING

 

ABOUT YOU

You are based in New York and are passionate about public relations and digital marketing and know how to build relationships, lead teams and think creatively to generate communications that break through crowded markets. Hopefully, you’ve participated in large-budget ad spends for major companies or organizations, gaining experience in managing six-figure budgets and large teams. But, you’re also done utilizing your expertise to sell more stuff and support companies that don’t stand for anything. You realize that climbing the corporate ladder isn’t for you. You dream of putting your talents to work protecting the people and community around you; of leveraging the power of media and digital channels to stand for human rights, promoting companies who care about their communities and ensuring that all people have the chance to thrive. You’re inspired by the challenge to make an impact with monthly advertising budgets as low as $300, and you love the idea of being a part of a small and nimble team.
