LaunchSquad identifies and communicates stories for companies we love. You’ve probably heard of a few: SuccessFactors, Quidsi, iHeartRadio, Coursera. From consumer and enterprise technology start-ups to lifestyle and media companies, we partner with our clients, immerse ourselves in their product or services and build strategic communications campaigns and original content programs that reach and resonate with key audiences.

 

It’s our job to help our client partners find the right message and engage the right audiences.

From original content creation and social media marketing to media and influencer engagement and experience management, we drive the awareness and engagement that leads to lasting loyalty.

 

We don’t have a formula for our work. Every client partnership provides an opportunity to try something new. It all starts with the story. From there, we work together to develop, build and produce original programs. We brainstorm and concept, but we also plan and execute.

About the Public Relations Account Manager Opportunity:

 

At LaunchSquad, Account Managers lead four client accounts and teach junior teammates the core hard and soft skills necessary to produce program work, delight clients and grow individual and team capabilities.

They guide client counsel and oversee the day-to-day operations of account teams.

 

As a team manager, they have a masterful command of content creation and media and influencer relations as well as the ability to use holistic, integrated thinking to meet clients’ needs. As a team leader, they know how to empower and motivate a team and carve out the time required to truly develop a team.

Like their teammates, Account Managers love what they do and strive to get better, be better, do better.
