Job Description:

First and foremost we are professional and polite to everyone we work with. The assistant should be available to attend live music shows, and other work-related functions and events occasionally. Public relations/music industry experience helpful, but not required. Assistant works only on professional projects and tasks (no personal assisting). I expect employees to get their work done during their shifts and not have them staying late to get things done.
Fly PR has an eclectic roster of clients including:
- art rock
- proto punk
- metal
- women and feminist artists
- singer/song writer
- alternative rock
- punk
- hard rock/stoner rock
- experimental and avant-garde
We also work with filmmakers, authors and others. See our website for more details.
Duties Include:
Pitching media outlets via phone and email; concentrating on tour press and fanzines; set-up interviews; exhaustive and result generating follow-up with media contacts and others; researching appropriate press and media contacts for campaigns; tracking all work in database and update reports exactly as prescribed in the protocol; updating data-base continuously; interfacing with labels, managers, artists and other clients; administrative support and some office management duties; assuming responsibility for Fly PR Internship Program; tracking all media coverage, processing all press clips electronically and sometimes cutting and pasting clips, duplicating and archiving press materials; running errands locally (copy shop, post office, Staples, etc.); organizing press packages; implementing mailouts/handling fulfillment; writing press materials; handling day-to-day publicity tasks; interacting with all levels of industry associates (from the editors of fanzines and indie blogs, to label heads and prominent musicians and journalists); creating a positive and energized work environment.
