• Research and maintain knowledge of emerging award programs and media platforms relevant to architecture and design.
• Oversee relationships with design publications to secure coverage, guest features, and collaboration opportunities.

Content Development & Storytelling

• Collaborate with design teams to craft accurate, engaging project narratives, case studies, and firm profiles for publication and presentations.
• Ensure all public-facing content (press materials, website updates, brochures, social posts) aligns with the firm’s brand standards.
• Support the preparation of communication materials for events, exhibitions, and speaking engagements.

Internal Communication & Coordination

• Act as a liaison between design, marketing, and leadership teams to ensure consistency and accuracy of information shared externally.
• Manage information flow for new project announcements, press approvals, and award submissions.
