(By the way, the most recent talented PR pro to join our ranks is the one and only Micaela Whalen.  Her arrival deserves a post all its own, but things have been so busy since she started last month, that we haven’t had time to give her a proper welcome here on the Fresh INK blog.)

Years of Experience: 5-7

We are looking for a PR account manager or supervisor with five to seven years of experience in marketing and/or PR in the high tech industry. This person lives and breathes their clients’ industries, thrives on providing sound counsel and creative solutions, understands the dynamic media markets in which our clients play and how to tell a fresh, newsworthy story, demands excellence from a team and, at the same time, can have a beer with them at the end of the day. If you are our candidate, you love what you do and you could never see yourself doing anything else. You play well with others.  You possibly have a war story that involves CES or Walt Mossberg; bonus points for both. Your friends know as much about your clients’ technology as you do, and they are still your friends. You are bored of social media talk and interested in social media results. You are respected by your team, your clients and the media, all at the same time.  Are we asking too much? We don’t think so.

You will make an impact on INK and we will make an impact on you.
