About Creo Collective

Creo Collective is a full-service marketing agency. We partner with technology companies to help them stand out from their competitors, connect with prospects and customers in a meaningful way, and contribute to their bottom-line results.

Our mission is to change how people think about a marketing agency.

The Opportunity

Creo Collective is building our public sector bench and looking for experienced PR practitioners who thrive in complex, multi-stakeholder environments — government agencies, public authorities, destination marketing orgs, and economic development entities.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop strategic communications plans alongside board-level clients.

• Pitch proactively to regional, national, and trade media.

• Draft press releases, op-eds, public affairs correspondence, and board-ready reports.

• Manage media inquiries and prepare spokespeople under tight turnarounds.

• Support public affairs strategy — community engagement, speaking opportunities, stakeholder relations.

• Track and report earned media performance.

What we are looking for:

• 8+ years in PR/communications with meaningful public sector experience.

• A track record of placing stories — not just issuing releases.

• Comfort in quasi-governmental environments and public records contexts.

• Senior-practitioner mindset: you own your workstream.

• Experience in tourism, hospitality, economic development, or government a plus.

Performance Expectations

Though a contract position, to succeed in this role, we expect:

• Availability during working hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m. ET).

  • Note: We can be flexible on working hours pending your geographical location, as long as client and team coverage is maintained.

• Must maintain consistent visibility and responsiveness across email, internal communication tools (i.e. GChat), and client channels.

• Transparent and honest communication with your entire Creo team regarding availability and accessibility.

Why join Creo Collective?

• Join a kind, talented, and collaborative team that values both results and relationships.

• Work with forward-thinking B2B clients across a variety of industries.
