Media Relations Officer

We are not your typical agency

Rebel Marketing is a quirky team of marketing communication professionals that banded together in 2017 to elevate how agencies amplify the potential of brands through creative strategies, hands-on execution, and agile interventions. We are a sharp and lean team of unorthodox communication consultants who are determined to establish the role of communications in accelerating meaningful impacts through our work.

What you will get yourself into

As a Media Relations Officer, you are expected to provide overall support in generating strategic media coverage and media placements, securing media partnerships, organizing media activities, and growing Rebel's relationships with its media partners. Make no mistake, however, that this is just about counting pick-ups and advertising value equivalents. This is about making corporate and consumer brands newsworthy, culturally-relevant, and responsive to the needs of the Filipino audience.

You will be working closely with Rebel's Media Director who is also one of the Founders. He is involved in day-to-day operations to ensure that Rebel's distinctive way of taking care of its media partners and clients is delivered in all touch points.

In the course of being involved in overall media relations and management work, you will receive bespoke coaching and mentoring from the Media Director (and other partners too) to bring up your potential and for you to become more independent in doing things.

What we are looking for

Exceptional smarts, skills, and drive define a Rebel. While we welcome applicants from different educational backgrounds, hometowns, and histories, we are on the lookout for these qualifications and qualities:

• Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, psychology, or social sciences or other courses (we're open to possibilities)
• Professional experience in relevant and related work or disciplines would be a huge advantage; entry-level applicants are very much welcome
• Thorough, accurate, and timely in delivering work outputs
• Genuinely driven and has natural flair to build and nurture relationships
• Exceptionally collaborative in working with colleagues and partners
• Superior listening, reading, writing and speaking skills
• Naturally curious and an avid follower of news, lifestyle trends, and audience behavior across traditional and digital media titles
• Must be eligible for work in Manila
