Publicist

Publicist: AI, Fintech and Health and Wellness

Shift Media's client roster is growing faster than our team. We need a seasoned publicist who can start soon and land earned media, TV segments and podcast bookings for founders and CEOs in AI, fintech, and health and wellness.

About Shift Media

Shift Media is a boutique PR and media agency with offices in Florida, New York and Los Angeles. We place clients in national business, tech and lifestyle press. We handpick our clients, and therefore every account gets senior attention. We provide a white glove service from start to finish.

About the role

You will own media relations across two to three client accounts. We are looking for someone who rolls up their sleeves, thinks outside the box and gets the job done, because the measure of this role is clients who are extremely happy with their results. In your first month, success looks like a steady flow of placements for each account: publications, plus podcasts or broadcast segments.

What you'll do

• Pitch and secure earned placements in business, finance, tech and health press, from national outlets to the trade publications that matter in each sector
• Book founders and CEOs on TV and broadcast segments across business, finance and national news
• Book podcast appearances that reach each client's customers and investors
• Keep up with the news, especially in AI and fintech, and pitch timely stories when the news creates an opening
• Handle follow-up and coordinate each secured opportunity through to publication or air
• Send a clear weekly update on pitches, media interest and results

What we're looking for

Required:

• At least five years of media relations experience, at an agency, in-house or freelance
• Placements for AI, fintech, or health and wellness clients from the last two years (ideally all three), with links
• Your own existing relationships with journalists, editors, TV bookers and podcast producers that you can call on from day one
• TV or broadcast bookings for founders or executives that you can point to
• Podcast guest bookings for founders or executives
• Capacity for two to three accounts, starting within two weeks

Preferred:

• Launch campaign experience (a new company, location or product)

Compensation

$70,000 a year. Remote, with offices in Florida, New York and Los Angeles.
