Cher Hale Creative PR is hiring an independently contracted administrative assistant.

We’re a national boutique PR agency that believes in using our skill set as a mechanism to drive social change. Instead of contributing to the headlines regaling us with Richard Branson's ultimate entrepreneur morning routine, we prefer to place stories centered around diverse women — how the Korean-American entrepreneur infuses culture into her jewelry, how the black lawyer tends to her mental health, or how the LGTBQ+ author uses her platform to lift other marginalized communities up.

We’re more than just publicists who send galley letters and mass messages. We’re all about creating warm, personalized, and genuine connections. In fact, a host of a top-rated podcast in the self-help vertical, says that we produce “the gold standard for pitches.”

Job Description

We’re hiring one independently contracted administrative assistant to add to our agency that works between 8-12 hours per week and would be able to start as soon as February 2020. Our clients are authors, entrepreneurs, and brands in the wellness and lifestyle spaces such as a licensed counselor, a lawyer for influencers, and relationship experts.

Some of the books we’ve helped bring to market include Bare by Susan Hyatt, By Hand by Nicole Miyuki Santo, The Beauty of Conflict for Couples by CrisMarie Campbell and Susan Clarke, and How to Be an Inclusive Leader by Jennifer Brown.

• Track success by using search engines, alerts, and social media to ensure all client placements and mentions are monitored, captured and interpreted

• Correspond with clients to schedule interviews and update them on monthly and weekly progress

• Update client assets regularly to reflect new placements and interviews

• Liaise with hosts, producers, and journalists to supply them with all necessary client assets

Why We’ll Love Working With You

• You have some experience: You have at least one year experience working as an assistant.

• You’re detail-oriented: Typos keep you up at night, off-kilter formatting makes you shudder, and you never hit send without proofreading what you’ve written for clarity.

• You’re flexible: You love working in fast-paced environments and do your best, most creative work when faced with new challenges.

• You pride yourself on having excellent communication skills: You’re not afraid to respectfully speak up when you disagree, and you routinely request feedback.

• You’re culturally informed: You’re always up to date on the latest trends (especially with sustainable fashion and clean beauty), have a pulse on niche news within the wellness and lifestyle spaces, and know exactly when Instagram is rolling out new features.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• We’re flexible: As a growing team, we’re creating our company culture from the ground up. As a member of that team, you’ll have the ability to suggest and weigh in on new company policies, explore new industry verticals, and help us make decisions about how we give back to our community. 

• Location Independence: You can work from home. 

We are an inclusive company dedicated to walking our talk.
