This is a senior role with a requirement of around 5-7 years of PR or media experience.

<p>Looking to make a mark in gaming culture?&nbsp;London or EU-based? Let's chat.</p> <p>The Story Mob is the world’s leading international communications consultancy focused on gaming culture, esports and digital entertainment. We work with brands, teams and publishers to shape meaningful communications and engage in authentic conversations with gaming fans. This is the most exciting and fastest growing culture in the world - and communications are helping mold the future of it.</p> <p>We’re a hungry and ambitious company, where each team member wears a lot of hats and the ceiling for growth is, well... sky-high. Our culture is open-minded, fast and flexible. Great ideas are celebrated, especially if you’re open to helping execute them or learning the skills to get them off the ground.</p> <p>We are specifically looking for candidates with demographic identities or life experiences that add different perspectives to our work. So we encourage any individuals who identify as Black, indigenous, persons of color (BIPOC), women, low SES, or disabled to apply. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard for race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other basis prohibited by law.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, if you’re an ambitious comms pro and excited about gaming, this could be your opportunity to join the world’s first group of gaming-focused communication leaders.</p> <h3 id="strategic-communications-planning">Strategic communications planning</h3> <ul> <li>Independently develops and manages communications strategies behind client priorities, from launches to seasonal and long-term campaigns</li> <li>Helps broader team stay up-to-date on industry trends, communication best practices and emerging tools or platforms as part of ongoing strategic efforts</li> </ul> <h3 id="client-support">Client support</h3> <ul> <li>Drives day-to-day and tactical work in support of a cross-section of existing clients&nbsp;</li> <li>C﻿onstantly demonstrates full ownership of the account, and is able to work in 100% client-facing role</li> <li>Reflects on client issues, anticipating problems and solving them&nbsp;</li> <li>Manages and maintains weekly and monthly activity reports, with an eye on key milestones and current activities&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h3 id="creative-storytelling">Creative storytelling</h3> <ul> <li>Produces and manages creative concepts (pitches, storylines, and activations) and presents them to both clients and media in a meaningful way</li> <li>Identifies, tracks, and secures leadership opportunities (speaking engagements, awards, and expert or contributed content opportunities) that differentiate clients from their counterparts&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h3 id="media-relations">Media Relations</h3> <ul> <li>Independently handles media relations activities across client announcements, trend pieces, and evergreen stories</li> <li>Has strong relationships with journalists across esports, gaming, sports, tech, business, and entertainment verticals&nbsp;</li> <li>Is a resident expert on the stories, angles, and assets that help media produce well-researched and authentic coverage across our client portfolio</li> <li>Crafts and edits media materials with minimal input or review from the senior team&nbsp;</li> <li>Helps prepare and advise key spokespeople before and after media interviews and speaking engagements&nbsp;</li> <li>Monitors and tracks both media output (features, segments, and mentions) and social media sentiment to compile coverage recaps as agreed upon by the client and</li> <li>Curates and manages project-focused and master press lists&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h3 id="team-management">Team management</h3> <ul> <li>Help manage junior team members on client projects and plans the team’s capacity</li> <li>Leads with purpose and keeps the Mob’s values central to their management of direct reports</li> <li>Celebrates individual and group achievements</li> <li>Works in a non-hierarchical way - mucking in when it gets busy&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h3 id="business-development">Business development</h3> <ul> <li>Actively contributes to new business proposals with a specific focus on creative initiatives and media strategy development</li> <li>Assists agency leadership with content marketing initiatives aimed at elevating The Story Mob as an industry leader and expanding the company’s new business pipeline&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h3 id="crisis-comms">Crisis comms</h3> <ul> <li>Can craft messaging for crisis situations and escalate to senior managers, when required&nbsp;</li> </ul> <h3 data-v-4d35f70e=""></h3> <p>About you</p> <h3 id="youre-a-connector">You’re a connector</h3> <p>We are looking for natural storytellers who have a history of working with the media.
