2. How JESS3 Drove Tens of Thousands of Eyeballs to Amnesty International
3. How we got over 200 outlets to embed one of our infographics
4. How JESS3 Drove 200,000 Views to a Video
This person will pitch JESS3 products and client projects to bloggers, journalists, and social media users, with the goal of getting coverage both in major news outlets and within the long tail. He or she will also be involved in the editorial process, helping our clients craft engaging content on blogs and social media platforms.
Who we’re looking for: While a background in PR is a plus, we’re most interested in candidates who are firmly entrenched in the online community — whether it’s someone who maintains an active Daily Kos diary, guest blogs for DCist, or has written online for mainstream news outlets. A background in journalism is always great. Just simply having a Twitter and Facebook account won’t cut it. We’re looking for someone with a wide knowledge of which bloggers and journalists cover certain topics. Can you name off the top of your head five tech, progressive, conservative, and entertainment bloggers? One of our first questions to you during the interview will be: “Who do you read and follow?”
