You must have a background in launches and seeding products—where relevant—to tastemakers and influencers.

    In addition to very strong PR experience and writing skills, you must bring your own contacts in the fashion and lifestyle space and be ready to build new relationships. These contacts should include reporters, editors, market editors, top stylists, relevant influencers/ tastemakers, and aligned brands for potential partnerships.

    WHAT YOU'LL DO
    • Oversee the day-to-day PR operations of the fashion division and collaborate with the cofounders to grow the business.
    • Serve as strategic lead of all fashion accounts, develop client strategy, and serve as the primary point of contact for clients.
    • Direct client accounts, working closely with the team to ensure seamless execution.

    • Expand and diversify the network of journalists, tastemakers, and influencers, ensuring a broad reach for our clients.

    • You've worked within an agency setting and have a proven track record of successfully leading accounts, building trust and instilling confidence by acting as a trusted advisor and partner.
    • You're excited about the opportunity to leverage your experience in fashion PR to elevate brands that are redefining the industry and pioneering a more sustainable approach to fashion.
    • You have exceptional writing skills and the ability to craft compelling pitches.
    • You're able to craft thoughtful narratives and you're up for the challenge of sharing nuanced fashion stories that aren't solely product-focused.
    • You have a proven track record of successfully executing PR events and product seeding.
    • You've developed the ability to proactively identify client needs, and get creative in solving problems when you - or your team - seems to hit a dead end.
    • You're able to do the high-level strategic work, but you're still able to get in the weeds with your team to oversee partnerships, manage events and run press previews.

    QUALIFICATIONS
    • 8-10 years of experience in PR, working with premium fashion brands.
    • Key relationships and proven track record within the industry a must.

    ABOUT US
    No. 29 was the first agency to focus exclusively on sustainability and social impact, and have launched some of the most recognized fashion brands and designers in the space (VEJA, Rothy's, Busayo, Mini Rodini, ONE OF, unspun, Circ, and Chava Studio). With teams in New York, Paris, and Los Angeles, No. 29 was founded on the belief that we can elevate positive change with thoughtful storytelling, strategic partnerships, and meaningful activations.

    The brands and people we represent challenge the status quo, and we ensure the work stands out. Whether a heritage brand founded with sustainability at their core or the launch of new innovators in the space, our team is experts at identifying thoughtful storytelling opportunities, delivering coverage, building brand awareness and community.
