• Pitch stories, secure press coverage, and support the creation of press kits and EPKs.
• Liaise with journalists, influencers, and content creators across vertical drama, TV, streaming, webnovels, and BookTok spaces.

Event Planning & Execution

• Lead logistics for local activations : venue scouting, vendor coordination, RSVPs, live social coverage, and post-event follow-up.
• Support press junkets, premieres, creator Q&As, and media days.

Messaging Oversight & Brand Safety

• Share insights and recaps with cross-functional teams to refine future activations.
• Work closely with development, social, production, and marketing to ensure campaign cohesion.

Qualifications :
