After 21 years, RLM PR is changing it up; finding new clients and sectors; and looking out into the world for aggressive pitchers.

Our new clients have stories we love. These are tech firm – digital media– and they are fantastic stories.  Yes, visionaries. That is what we do each day: create a strategy and go out there and develop stories in all sorts of media. Can you do that with success? Have you been able to score? Is that a yes? 

RLM is run by Richard Laermer, co-host of notorious Bad Pitch Blog and author of “Full Frontal PR” and “TrendSpotting,” whose approach to PR is envied by some, mimicked by many, and equaled by 0.

We are hiring two AEs who get what it takes to pitch and know how to make decision on the fly. Also, got a grasp of how “social” works.  If you are passionate, can really write, live for the pitch…then send a cover letter and CV to Nancy at nyjobs@RLMPR.com or contact us on Twitter @RLMpr. Let’s see your pitch. And your salary requirements. Just be creative, but be on point too.

If you don’t like to pitch–find it boring or above your pay grade–and would rather strategize all day, please don’t bother.

We will pay from $35K to $70K depending on several obvious criteria. And we also hire freelance.  

There is potential to grow as we grow—and to learn from people who actually love PR. Let’s get the job done.
