Senior Publicist

SEEKING A STRONG, CAPABLE PR PRO TO JOIN OUR PUBLICITY TEAM

Perception PR is looking for a new team member in our lean, mean publicity department. Must be currently operating at a Senior Publicist level or above with the ability to develop and implement comprehensive awards and film/series publicity campaigns for a diverse roster of entertainment industry clients. Good press relationships are a must. Good relationships with editors and journalists that cover the awards space is a plus. Excellent candidates would have at least 5+ years experience working at a publicity firm, studio, network or streamer. While we have both film and television clients, if your experience aligns more with one or the other, you may still be a great fit for our team if you meet the rest of the criteria as described.

Candidates must be organized, detail-oriented with a professional demeanor who can work well in a fast-paced environment. This job is based in Los Angeles with a work-from-home policy. There will be an in-person component by attending screenings, events, interviews and other client-related and industry events. This is a boutique company with a small team and a “no snark” policy. Our creative, team-oriented culture highly values one another and enjoys digging deep to get the best results for our clients. At the same time, we strive for a healthy work-life balance, value our personal time and highly encourage taking vacations / time off to recharge.

We offer a competitive benefits package, and we work with some of the most accomplished and exciting creators in the industry. We work hard and go above and beyond for our clients.
