We’re looking for a star. We don’t have openings for PR account executives very often (we usually grow them organically from the inside) so when we do, we’re pretty selective. If you want in, you need to bring the following to the table:

4-5 years solid agency experience
Experience working with local, regional and national media – online and off
An understanding and interest (perhaps even passion) for social media
Proven ability to create plans with measurable goals
Proven ability to then measure your work and show positive outcomes
Be able to write, well
A real team player
An open, creative and positive attitude
Experience in consumer pr

Here’s what we bring:
A supportive, learning environment
As much autonomy as you can handle
Great clients
Great team
Competitive salary with vacation, medical, 401K and profit sharing
The opportunity to be a part of a growing, dynamic agency
And, of course, life in San Diego, which doesn’t suck

Exciting news! We’ve added five new people to agency, rounding out our creative team.

Ian Graham is executive creative director (most recently CD and senior partner at Ogilvy, Los Angeles). He’s worked on Cisco Systems, ARCO gasoline, am/pm stores, Nestle, e*trade, the California Lottery, Dewar’s Scotch, A&E, NBC, and MGM Mirage Casinos in Las Vegas. Ian’s been responsible for pretty amazing work here, heading the creative team, and our literal integration of offices and workstations, giving a much-needed (literal) volume pump-up.

Art Director Nik Helgaas and Copywriter Lindsay Cliett form the newest creative team. Both attended Miami Ad School and are from out of market. Not only are they concepting smart work for our clients - they’re funnier than heck.

Francis Floro has been hired as a designer. This guy has not only taught at the New York School of Visual Arts, he was also a dancer for Malashock, and a truck driver (who are you?!).

Callan Green is an advertising and public relations account coordinator. She’s rocking our social media efforts, especially for Vet-Stem.

You can officially consider Bailey Gardiner a creative agency.

Amazing how difficult it is to find talent, no matter what the level. Some agencies are taking quite the creative route to lure the right fit.

My road less traveled:  if you’re a student and want to be considered for a paid pr internship this summer, write a creative comment on why you should be considered, along with your contact information, and I’ll get back to you - if you’re a fit, that is.
