Account Executive, Consumer Brand

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is a leading global communications agency built to navigate the complexities of a hyper-connected world. We represent the icons and innovators shaping culture—from global heritage corporations and high‑growth tech startups to the non‑profits, creative legends, and visionary founders who define the global discourse.

We operate at the intersection of entertainment, social impact, corporate reputation, and consumer lifestyle, executing seamlessly across traditional media, social‑first outlets, brand partnerships, and influencer ecosystems. Whether we are navigating complex crisis management, elevating advocacy campaigns, or launching global consumer brands, we are storytellers at our core.

We fly under the radar by design—preferring to let our campaigns, and our results, speak for themselves. If you’re driven, intentional, and ready to do good, we’re ready for you!

We are looking for a high‑energy, multidisciplinary Account Executive in our New York City office. You have been in the industry for about 2–3 years and have developed a clear understanding of how to move a story through today’s complex media landscape. You are a modern storyteller who understands that in 2026, a brand’s reputation lives at the intersection of earned media, social ecosystems, and cultural influence.

• Daily Execution: Own the daily execution for a roster of 4–6 clients. You are responsible for active media outreach, securing impactful placements, and identifying creative windows where our clients can authentically join the cultural conversation.
• Modern Storytelling & Pitching: Architect moments that coordinate earned media with social‑first content and creator partnerships to ensure every campaign has a cohesive impact.
• Account Stewardship: Manage the essential foundation of your accounts. Own the agendas, meeting recaps, and activity reports, keeping them meticulous, up‑to‑date, and client‑ready for senior leadership.
• Event & Experience Support: Provide critical support for media‑specific events, including press conferences, influencer activations, and red carpets. Own the logistics: managing invite lists, wrangling media on‑site, and ensuring every detail is executed with total precision.
• Content Creation: Draft creative pitches, press materials, blog content, and briefing notes. Translate a complex brand mission into a clear, persuasive narrative that captures the attention of editors and digital‑first audiences.
• Cultural Radar: Monitor the news cycle and social platforms daily. Look for “vibe shifts” and trending topics where our clients’ missions can provide a meaningful voice.
• Team
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Partner with Account Managers and Directors to achieve client deliverables. Thrive in a “we, not me” environment and learn the art of long‑term strategy.
• Relationship Driven: Lead by example in every interaction—with teammates, clients, and journalists—prioritizing integrity, transparency, and professional poise.

• The NYC Hustler: 2–3 years of experience in PR or communications across a variety of industries with a proven track record of securing results and managing the moving parts of a fast‑paced account.
• The Modern Strategist: Live on social media and understand the creator economy. Know which platforms are driving conversation right now and translate that knowledge into a smart pitch or brainstorm idea.
• High EQ: Possess high EQ and great judgment. Read a room, handle last‑minute client requests with ease, and maintain a calm, solution‑oriented attitude under pressure.
• A Strong, Fast Writer: Write concisely and creatively. Whether it is a 140‑character pitch or a deep‑dive briefing note, your writing is sharp, persuasive, and error‑free.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: Love a good brainstorm and aren’t afraid to suggest a new platform or bold story idea. Have an innate curiosity about the world and how brands can make it a better place.
• Meticulously Organized: Excel at managing multiple tasks simultaneously. Take genuine pride in the accuracy of your reports and the thoroughness of your media research.
