Hannah Cranston Media (HCM)
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 3/20/2026

Job description

Are you obsessed with storytelling that moves markets and brands that actually matter? At HCM, we build visibility for the companies shaping what’s next in innovation and culture—and we’re looking for a PR Account Executive who’s ready to make an impact.


We’re not your typical agency. We move fast, think big, and partner with bold, visionary consumer brands that are redefining wellness, tech, femtech, fertility, and lifestyle. This role is for someone who’s energized by the fast pace of agency life, thrives in a collaborative, creative environment, and knows how to land headline-making coverage. If that’s you, let’s talk.


What You’ll Do


  • Support the day-to-day PR execution across a portfolio of high-growth tech and innovation brands
  • Pitch and secure coverage across top-tier tech, business, and culture outlets
  • Draft and refine press releases, media alerts, and founder bios that capture each brand’s voice
  • Monitor media, track trends, and identify opportunities to insert clients into timely conversations
  • Build and maintain relationships with journalists, editors, and producers in tech and startup media
  • Research and draft speaking, award, and partnership opportunities for client visibility
  • Collaborate closely with Account Managers and Directors to shape strategy and deliver results
  • Help prepare and lead client updates, coverage reports, and performance tracking
  • Bring creative thinking and fresh energy to every brainstorm, pitch, and campaign


You’re a Fit If


  • You have 2–4 years of PR experience, ideally with tech or innovation-focused clients
  • You’ve worked with startups, VC-backed brands, or fast-moving consumer tech companies
  • You have media relationships or know how to build them fast in the tech and business space
  • You’re a strong writer and communicator who can turn complex concepts into punchy stories
  • You’re organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, with a reputation for getting things done
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where ideas turn into action quickly
  • You’re hungry to learn, grow, and take ownership as part of a team that’s shaping what’s next
  • You’re located in NYC, SF, or LA


Why You’ll Love HCM


  • You’ll work with category-defining tech brands changing how we live, work, and connect
  • You’ll join a high-energy, no-ego team that values initiative, creativity, and ownership
  • Hybrid NYC office designed for collaboration and culture
  • Competitive salary, full health benefits covered by the company, 401k, and fast growth potential
  • A culture built on honesty, ambition, and impact that celebrates big ideas and bigger execution


This is your seat at the table if you’re ready to tell the stories shaping the future of tech.
