* Twice a year, manage, plan and execute press conferences with high-profile talent and executives as part of the semiannual Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour (travel and overtime required);
* Additional duties, as assigned.

Qualifications include:
* Minimum of 3 years of experience in digital marketing, audience engagement and/or publicity including experience managing digital marketing campaigns across platforms;
* Strong writing skills, including campaign reporting, media pitches, press releases, copywriting for ads, social, blogs, and more including SEO;
