The Role

This isn’t your typical comms job. We’re looking for a creative, scrappy PR pro who loves variety—someone who’s just as excited to pitch a playful Blippi campaign to consumer press as they are to position Moonbug as a leader in advertising, gaming, and music.

One day you might be helping families fall even more in love with Blippi through a big brand moment. The next, you’re shaping how the industry sees Moonbug at an advertising conference or in a gaming trade story. You’ll wear many hats, move fast, and constantly find new ways for our brands and our business to break through.

If you thrive on juggling different projects, learning new industries quickly, and solving business problems with communications, this role is for you.
