Embracing professionalism, innovation, excellence, and simplicity, we aim to assist our clients in achieving remarkable global performance and enable consumers to enjoy a seamless, effortless lifestyle.

Overview

The Public Relations Manager will be a strategic storyteller responsible for raising TP-Link’s brand awareness and credibility through creative, high-impact communications. This role will craft compelling narratives that differentiate our technology and products, while securing meaningful visibility across Tier-1 to Tier-3 media. Partnering with internal teams and agencies, this leader will drive standout campaigns for consumer electronics launches and thought‑leadership initiatives that advance TP-Link’s voice in the market. Success will be measured through clear PR outcomes including share of voice, sentiment, impressions, and message pull‑through.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end PR strategy and execution for new product launches, including briefing timelines, embargo management, and coordinated messaging.
• Craft compelling, media‑worthy storytelling and differentiated messaging to drive consistent, high-volume coverage that captures top-tier interest and reinforces TP-Link's unique market position.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive media guides and briefing materials (product fact sheets, key messaging, spokesperson Q&A, competitive positioning) to ensure accurate, consistent coverage across all media tiers.
• Manage the product seeding and review program — coordinating sample allocation, tracking loaner units, setting review timelines, and following up with media/reviewers to secure timely, high-quality coverage.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to monitor user sentiment, quickly respond, transform insights into PR actions, and optimize user experience and brand image.
• Align and integrate PR efforts with companywide goals and cohesive storytelling, integrating cross‑functional resources (marketing, sales, etc.).
• Measure performance using data‑driven metrics — share of voice, sentiment, impressions, message pull‑through, and increasingly, AI citation/visibility tracking — to optimize results and demonstrate impact.

• 3+ years of PR experience, ideally in consumer electronics or technology, leading successful media relations and product launch programs.

• Strong existing network and media intelligence to proactively secure high-quality coverage with Tier-1 to Tier-3 outlets across consumer tech and business press.
• Proven success driving product launches and thought‑leadership initiatives that elevate brand awareness and credibility.
• Skilled in PR analytics and performance measurement, including media impressions, share of voice, sentiment, message pull‑through, and business outcomes, with the ability to optimize campaigns based on data.
• Creative, proactive mindset with strong problem‑solving skills and the agility to respond quickly in fast‑moving situations.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
