Check it out:
Our PR friend must:
- Understand the world of media relations. Have great connections on speed dial. You can pick up the phone, SMS, and WhatsApp to pitch stories.
- Help with the day-to-day account management (aka admin king/queen): status reporting, tracking coverage, media follow-ups, briefing documents, scheduling interviews and client meetings, compiling monthly and quarterly campaign reports etc.
- Help us to manage and brief suppliers (graphic design, writing, sourcing advertising quotes/rates and securing placements)
- Ability to manage client status meetings (if and when needed)
- Have a flair for writing and work closely with our agency Head of Content to further develop this skill.
- Love social media – what works, what doesn’t and how we can apply this to HLS and our clients
- Understand the content and various channels: what makes a good story, blog, interview, podcast, SM post, emailer, executive LinkedIn post, etc.
- Think strategically and creatively: plan ahead and help your managers compile PR campaigns – understand the communications ‘golden thread’, days of significance, the core campaign messaging, and how to optimize content for audiences & stakeholders to deliver results.
About this guru:
- This is an on-site (Cape Town) office role (with one day per week being remote/work from home)
- One+ year of agency experience is essential. You understand PR and the agency world (billing/hours, media contacts and working as a team, briefing suppliers and deadlines etc)
- Energy and attitude are everything :)
- You are fast-paced and like independence – the sky is the limit.
- You want to be part of a fun, vibey and energetic team. You have a great sense of humour and love teamwork. HLS is all about ‘energy!'
- Teamwork definitely makes the dream work! This is evident when entering the office to find our team pictures proudly displayed in the entrance area, our iconic (yellow) office decor, and fun social gatherings proudly illustrated and promoted across our agency's social media channels.
- Our agency by-line is: 'Creative Communications for Clever Brands'. And that is exactly what we do, we provide a range of communications services across multiple platforms and channels for some of the world’s biggest power (*clever*) brands.
- We provide one-day remote working per week, flexible working hours, 21 days holiday leave each year, we have not one but two staff events and functions, and we provide year-end reviews and bonuses.
Hook, Line & Sinker (HLS) is an award-winning PR & Marketing agency. Times are changing, and so is the era of the 90's press releases and red carpet events. We intelligently craft and amplify content across multiple publishing networks. We create content that captures audiences with the right HOOK, and then we select the best platforms and channels (LINE), to deliver the ultimate campaign SINKER.
Our team is made of expert writers and journalists, PR & media relations specialists, graphic designers, social media fundis, and digital specialists. Our clients include both B2B and B2C luxury brands, from SAP to CISCO, Amazon, UNDP to Radisson Hotel Group, CBI and many more.
