• Executive visibility:Prepare leadership and creators with briefing docs and media training; coordinate thought-leadership, panels, and speaking opportunities.
• Integrated marketing:Coordinate closely with Social (organic + paid) and Creator/Influencer partners to align drops, exclusives, and amplification.
• Events & red carpet:Plan and execute press days, critic/partner screenings, festival activations, and red-carpet logistics with photo/video capture.
• Issues & crises:Establish escalation paths; manage sensitive news, embargoes, leaks, and reputational moments with speed and judgment.
• Budgeting & measurement:Own PR budgets and agency/vendor SOWs; instrument tracking dashboards; report KPIs, coverage quality, and ROI to leadership.
• Compliance & governance:Ensure approvals and compliance (embargoes/NDA, guild/union and festival rules, credits, music/licensing, FTC disclosures).

What you’ll build in your first 180 days

• Publicity playbook (messaging house, templates, review/approval flow) and media list strategy.
• Launch-ready press kits and asset pipeline aligned to Film & Social calendars.
• Agency/freelancer bench (unit publicists, photographers, event partners) with clear SOWs.
• Coverage dashboard with KPIs/benchmarks and an executive-ready reporting cadence.
• A repeatable campaign rhythm for trailers/teasers, premieres, festivals, and beats across priority titles.
