Ecosystem PR Associate

EoT Labs and flagship project peaq were founded under the belief that a better trajectory for humanity exists. We’re focused on harnessing the power of modern technology to build a global, borderless, machine economy that works for all humans on earth – the 100%, not just the 1%.

Today, more than 20 industries are already being positively shaped by this next generation of apps built on the peaq network. This is an opportunity to join a team of performance-driven entrepreneurs, engineers, and creatives, on a mission to unlock the Age of Abundance.

As PR Associate, you will write press releases that will hook journalists in from the very first line and pitch them to a wide variety of Web3 and industry-specific publications. You will work with founders, builders, and visionaries to position them as thought leaders through written content and interview opportunities, foster ties with journalists, and keep a sharp eye for relevant commentary ops. While working in-house, you will have agency-style exposure to dozens of exciting projects and will help them navigate the world of PR and media relations with professionalism and style.

Responsibilities

• You will communicate with the projects across the peaq ecosystem to identify news and updates that have a high likelihood of generating coverage.
• You will write press releases, clear, concise, but still painting a colorful story.
• You will map the relevant media outlets and journalists for every story and look for the best approaches to them.
• You will write killer pitches that do a ton of work with only a handful of words and dispatch them to your target bank.
• You will seek out relevant commentary and interview opportunities, work on thought leadership and executive positioning, and monitor the media for newsjacking opportunities.
• You will keep an eye on the latest industry trends and the buzz on social media, looking for creative ways to make the peaqosystem known.

• Excellent communication and relationship management skills.
