Overview
Publicist Jobs in Remote at Charles Communication Group
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are seeking an experienced Publicist with 3–5 years of hands-on experience who can actively own and drive publicity efforts for clients.
This is not an entry-level or purely support role. We are looking for someone who understands how to identify timely opportunities, develop strong story angles, pitch effectively, and secure meaningful visibility across television, digital media, print, podcasts, conferences, panels, speaking engagements, and high-profile events.
The ideal candidate has current relationships with journalists, producers, editors, conference organizers, event producers, and other relevant media and industry contacts. You should be proactive, well-informed about current and upcoming opportunities, and comfortable taking an idea or client narrative from strategy through outreach, placement, and follow-up.
The right person can walk into a client account, understand what makes the client newsworthy, identify where they should be seen and heard, and create a consistent plan to increase their visibility.

Pitch and secure earned media coverage across local, regional, and national television, digital, print, podcast, radio, and other relevant platforms.

Build, maintain, and leverage strong relationships with journalists, television producers, editors, podcast hosts, assignment desks, and other media professionals.
Proactively identify media opportunities rather than relying solely on incoming requests.
Coordinate interviews, media briefings, talking points, scheduling, and other media logistics for clients and leadership.

Pitch and secure speaking engagements, panel opportunities, interviews, guest expert appearances, and other visibility opportunities.
Develop speaker positioning, bios, session topics, talking points, abstracts, and submission materials.

Identify opportunities that align with each client’s expertise, goals, audience, and overall brand strategy.

Monitor relevant news, cultural conversations, media trends, industry developments, and upcoming events that may create publicity opportunities.
