  • Speaking and awards: Create and update yearly calendars with speaking and awards opportunities, pull together abstracts and awards submission drafts, and submit the abstracts to nominate the company or product
  • Media relations: Monitor editorial opportunities and flag them to the team, research media contacts, compile media contact lists for pitching, draft media pitches, reach out to reporters, and create reporter briefing sheets
  • Social media: Research and draft content to submit to client social media platforms
  • New business: Pull together preliminary research to contribute to new business pitches
  • Spirit committee: Be part of the Hoffman spirit committee to help plan company events or special treats
  • Content creation: Draft press releases and PowerPoint presentations for client speaking programs
  • Reporting: Compile monthly metrics reports and end-of-the-month reports
