Social is a defining part of the job, not a side task: this person will own how Droga5 shows up on Instagram and LinkedIn, and needs to bring real social media instincts to that ownership, not just a willingness to post.

• Build and maintain agency relationships with external award show managers and key trade reporters.
• Help manage and execute Agency of the Year submissions and other awards, such as Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, Effies, Webby’s, WARC, and more
• Oversee asset collection and case study video creation for all relevant entries, working with client teams, production, and creative resource managers to manage resource availability.
• Support campaign launches by filling out key dates, messaging, and credits
• Secure speaking opportunities at major industry events (Cannes Lions, SXSW, ANA, 4A’s, CES).
• Prepare briefs and tip sheets the PR team can use for Droga5 employees’ media interviews and speaking opportunities, and coordinate with assistants on scheduling and travel needs.
• Monitor and track news and social media for conversations about Droga5 employees, campaigns, clients, and industry trends.
• Manage and update cloud drives with assets, both for comms (headshots, bios, logos) campaign launches (videos, credits, stills), etc.
