Senior Account Executive, Events & Entertainment PR

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is a multi-sector communications agency representing the icons and innovators across entertainment, social impact, consumer brands, technology, and lifestyle. We are storytellers at our core, weaving narratives through every medium available to the modern landscape.

You may notice our digital presence is purposefully understated. While our clients are global household names, we believe the best work happens when the spotlight stays firmly on those we represent. 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 smart, scrappy, and relentlessly hardworking Senior Account Executive to join our bi-coastal media relations team. This isn't a "behind-the-desk" PR role—you are at the center of the action, from the high-pressure environment of red carpets and festivals to the strategic backend of nonprofit galas and sporting events. In addition to events, you may also work on consumer or lifestyle clients.

The ideal candidate lives and breathes entertainment culture. Your social feed is a mix of industry trades (Variety, THR, Deadline) and the talent who fill them. You don't just know the outlets; you have the relationships at People, Access Hollywood, and beyond to ensure our clients aren't just seen—they are the story.

• Media Relations: Lead the media relations lifecycle for award shows, concerts, and festivals. This includes everything from strategic credentialing and press pit management to securing high-impact "tune-in" and feature coverage.
• Story Telling: Build and execute integrated communication strategies that go beyond the traditional press release. You’ll rethink concepts, drive digital/offline engagement, and create "out-of-the-box" opportunities for talent and influencers.
• Client Service: Act as a trusted partner for a roster of 4–6 accounts across entertainment, nonprofit, and lifestyle sectors. You’ll respond to client needs with speed, precision, and a "solutions-first" mindset.
• Creative Writing & Pitching: Craft compelling press materials, media alerts, and pitches that cut through the noise.
• Mentorship: Guide and elevate junior staff, sharing your expertise in the nuances of red-carpet etiquette and client management.

• The Connector: You possess a growing list of entertainment and consumer media contacts. You know who to call to get a camera crew on-site.
• The Strategist: You understand the "ins and outs" of event logistics and can navigate the needs of talent, vendors, and partners without missing a beat.
• The Professional: You are exceptionally detail-oriented and can multi-task across several high-profile projects simultaneously.
• The Hustler: You take genuine pride in over-delivering. You are comfortable with the travel and non-traditional hours (evenings/weekends) that come with the entertainment territory.

• Experience: 4+ years in an agency setting or relevant industry role.
• Proven Track Record: Tangible experience working red carpets, premieres, and live events.
• Collaborative Spirit: Expert at working across different geographies and time zones.
• Project Management: Highly organized with the ability to manage complex backend logistics.
