What are the responsibilities and job description for the Public Relations Assistant position at Brown + Dutch Public Relations?
Brown Dutch Public Relations, Inc. / Consumer Product Events, a dynamic, boutique consumer packaged goods PR agency and “do it yourself” PR company in Malibu, is looking for a young superstar professional who has a quick-twitch and detail-oriented work ethic to be an administrator.
You need to know how to use the phone, the post office and speak with strangers in the most elegant and polite way. This person is the front line of handling phones and must be well-versed in using multi-line desk phones, voicemail, transferring calls and handling the public on the phone.
This is a small company of 7.
The ideal candidate needs to specifically desire a career in PR, can thrive in a very fast paced environment, likes the idea of being groomed to grow – and understands and can easily transact with digital marketing tools (GoogleDocs, email automation, Excel, plugins, and the like). This person will have freedom to think and make decisions about your task list -- this is not a job where we’ll be telling you what to do every day -- you will be part of a team working on projects so you can tell us what you think needs to be accomplished to get to these goals. These are the #1 qualifiers. You need to be dogged about this and be the person who goes the extra mile to fit within our passion-driven culture
Our PR Assistant is a very important part of this organization, whose contributions support the animation of this whole process. You are the wind under our wings!
We’re looking for someone who really thrives in a quickly moving environment with a keen aesthetic and an insanely persnickety propensity for proofreading. We seek someone with an exceptional work ethic and the wish to grow with a company (we promoted our last assistant to an account coordinator and one of our assistants became a partner in the company).
