ABOUT YOU

• Extensive experience building and maintaining media relationships and pitching to achieve results; strong contacts in the food space are a must! 
• Strong writing skills; whether it be a client concept deck, media releases, pitches, op-eds, blog posts or backgrounders 
• High attention to detail
• Confident and professional presentation skills
• Solid project management skills and a track record in delivering campaigns on time, to budget and to brief.

THE PERKS
