About this role

Position Overview

At TBWA, we feel that Public Relations is not about self-proclamation. It's about talk value. It's about earning an unfair share of attention. We take pride in our ability to think creatively, popping the brands that we represent into cultural conversations that matter most.

A Senior Account Executive (SAE) drives day-to-day development of PR activities within approved plans, building relationships and anticipating problems and opportunities for our clients. They come to the table with innovative and creative ideas that capture the attention of press while working fluidly within a team and independently across projects.

They are a steward of the news and culture with a proven track record securing press coverage, managing influencer programs and thrive in a fast, team-based agency culture. They are driven, detail-oriented, curious, and hungry to do great work, collaborating with other offices and disciplines as needed.
