Description:

First, a little bit about us:

LPR is a boutique communications agency based in Hoboken, NJ. Named to PRNews 2024 Agency Elite Top 100 and PR Week Best Places to Work for the last three years, we are known for our results-focused approach and exceptional client service. We are savvy storytellers, media matchmakers, and influencer trendspotters; big thinkers and bold doers. We love what we do – and have a lot of fun doing it. We’re in search of two exceptional Account Coordinators to join our team and represent some of the world’s most iconic brands in the consumer, toy, lifestyle, and publishing industries.

Note: LPR has a hybrid work policy. Employees are required to work in our Hoboken co-working venue every other Thursday and for as-needed client meetings. LPR provides employees with a laptop, monitor, and software to work from home; the agency also pays for employee cell phone bills.

Now, a little bit about you:

You’re ready to kick start your career in public relations. You’ve gained at least one year of relevant experience through PR-related internships and/or your first post-grad position, and have an educational background studying public relations, communications, journalism, marketing, or a related field. You love what you’ve learned so far and are eager to take it to the real world.

You know what makes a great pitch. You have a keen interest in news media and have a list of outlets you read daily. You have media relations experience from your previous positions including building media lists, writing pitches, and even establishing potential connections with relevant contacts.

You’re social media savvy. From Instagram influencers to the latest viral TikTok videos, you have a knack for discovering social media stars and identifying who could be a good fit for a brand or product you’re working with. You tend to know which trends or products are hot before they go viral and are eager to connect creators and your client(s).

You’re a creative writer and thinker. From brainstorming unique news hooks and inspirational brand campaigns to clever ideas for product mailers and pitches to influencers, you have a flair for creativity and add it to all your work.

You have an innate love for research. You’ll monitor for media and influencer placements, research reporters to create media lists, uncover new influencers across social platforms, and dig deep to learn about the industries your clients are in!

You’re passionate about pop culture. You love to get lost in a good news story, you’ve got your eye on trends and celebrity gossip, and stay up to date on all kinds of entertainment: books, movies, TV, celebrities, and fashion.

You’ll be the foundational support for your team and know how to prioritize. You’ll keep your team organized to a tee, as you’ll be responsible for maintaining coverage trackers, assisting with client reports, and more. You also pride yourself on being diligent about deadlines and know how to shift gears from client to client (which can happen, very quickly).

Why you’ll love it here:

We believe life comes first. Hybrid work policy, flex hours, paid holidays, generous paid vacation time, up to 20 weeks parental leave, and time to rest and recharge while the agency is closed between Christmas and New Year’s. We do not count sick days (for physical or mental health) and you get to choose one month each year to “Work from Anywhere,” fully remote. Oh, and did we mention that you get PTO for your birthday and the agency closes at 1pm on Fridays – all year long?!

We have fun. A lot of fun. Our co-working venue boasts its own barista, monthly lunch mixers with a DJ, and a view of the Manhattan skyline. We love to get together in and out of the office and find lots of reasons to celebrate (and eat snacks) throughout the year. A day at the salon, a murder mystery “date night,” and an annual holiday party tradition are just a few examples!

We celebrate each other and our community. There is a dedicated ‘Big Thinkers, Bold Doers’ chat where employees share kudos and gratitude. We host monthly LPR Happenings, a catered lunch where we highlight recent successes and share helpful insights. We also pay it forward; employees are encouraged to participate in agency-led volunteer projects throughout the year.

Your voice will be heard. We strive to provide a collaborative, creative environment where each person feels encouraged to contribute to our processes, decisions, planning, and culture.

We provide room for growth. We invest in our team and are seriously committed to professional advancement (our weekly StormShops and monthly Litzky Labs provide the foundation). Need proof? The President of our agency started as an LPR intern!

We offer great benefits. In addition to a competitive salary base and compensation plan, we offer a great health insurance program. Employees are eligible for long and short term disability benefits, life insurance, commuter benefits, a medical flexible spending account, and a 401k program.

The anticipated salary range for the Account Coordinator position is $40,000 - $45,000, commensurate with experience. Base salary is one component of LPR’s total compensation package, which also includes financial contribution toward health insurance, generous time off including paid holidays, year-round half-day Fridays, and vacation that scales with tenure, a 401(k) program, reimbursement for cell phone bill, and more.

If you’d like to be considered for a position at LPR, please send a resume to with the subject line ACCOUNT COORDINATOR. Please include a few sentences about your relevant experience and why you are interested in joining our agency.
