A Manifest Publicist You're culturally wired. You catch trends early, know which stories resonate with which editors, and have relationships that open doors. You think in campaigns but execute in details — and you know the difference between coverage that looks good in a report and coverage that actually moves the needle.
What You’ll Do:- Own day-to-day earned media delivery across campaigns and press office accounts, leading PR execution end-to-end including timelines, assets, workflows, reactive opportunities, incoming requests, and resourcing
- Turn creative ideas into clear press strategies, story angles, narratives, and pitching plans
- Help shape and refine key messaging so stories are clear, compelling and media-ready
- Lead pitching end-to-end — targeting the right outlets, securing coverage and maintaining momentum
- Write high-quality press materials, from releases to pitches, that are sharp, considered and tailored
- Ensure consistent coverage across campaign phases, from early awareness through to post-launch
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with journalists, editors and producers
- Stay close to culture and media, proactively spotting opportunities to land stories in timely and relevant ways
- Spot ways to extend coverage beyond initial stories and keep a steady drumbeat of activity
- Manage media lists, contact databases and outreach tracking with accuracy and discipline
- Provide clear, confident updates to clients on activity, coverage and performance
- Work closely with Account, Creative and Production teams to ensure all materials are press-ready
- Translate media coverage into simple, relevant insight for clients
Who You Are:

You’re collaborative and direct — improving work without complicating it.
You’re a mentor who helps teammates sharpen instincts, grow networks, and develop professionally.
You move fast without cutting corners, delivering thoughtful, high-quality work every time.
