Overview

Unison Media, based in New York City, is a market-leading, integrated music PR and digital agency, trusted by some of the most iconic arts organizations, ensembles, festivals, and venues around the globe. We promote the people and institutions making beauty in a world that very much needs it.

Unison is expanding! We're looking for a Publicity & Marketing Account Manager—someone who can juggle clients, media, timelines, emails, crises-that-aren’t-really-crises, and social feeds with grace, wit, and near-superhuman organization. You’ll work closely with some of the country’s leading arts institutions, helping them shape their public presence, tell better stories, and reach new audiences.

If you love classical music, publicity, narrative, strategy, and the dopamine hit of a great piece of press coverage, then read on, dear friend...

What You’ll Do

Media Relations & PR Strategy

• Serve as day-to-day contact for a roster of institutional clients who adore clarity, competence, and the occasional meme.
• Develop long-term PR strategies, messaging arcs, and angles compelling enough to make journalists actually reply to emails.
• Pitch and coordinate stories with national and local press across print, radio, online, and “we swear this actually gets good engagement” social platforms.
• Manage press on-site at events, concerts, and festivals—making sure everything runs smoothly while looking effortlessly calm.
  ‍

 Client Management

• Be the first call, the trusted sounding board, the steady hand, and the person who always knows what’s happening when.
• Communicate with in-house marketing and communications teams, keeping projects aligned, informed, gloriously successful and blissfully drama-free.
• Help clients understand what will actually make an impact, gently rescuing them from ideas that definitely won’t.
  ‍

Digital & Social Media

• Oversee and grow clients’ social media channels, digital campaigns, and overall online presence.
• Build content plans that actually move the needle (or at least make someone pause mid-scroll).
• Collaborate with clients and our internal creatives to assemble and distribute photos, videos, graphics, and all the other shiny assets that make the people go wild.

‍

Who You Are  

• A world-class communicator with charisma, tact, empathy, and the ability to write emails that people genuinely enjoy reading.
• A natural storyteller who can translate institutional initiatives into narratives that resonate.
• An excellent writer who enjoys toggling between press releases, social copy, pitch notes, speeches, and “quick edits” that somehow become full rewrites.
• Highly organized, efficient, and detail-oriented, with a borderline-romantic relationship to workflows, systems, and checklists.
• Someone with a solid understanding of classical music and its ecosystem - you know the outlets, the players, the timelines, the cycles, the vibes...
• An emotionally intelligent human who works well with others, stays calm under pressure, and knows when to bring levity and when to bring gravitas.
• Tech-savvy, adaptable, self-motivated, and allergic to the phrase “that’s how we’ve always done it.”

‍

The Practical Stuff  

• Experience: Bachelor’s degree + ~5 years of relevant experience (PR, communications, digital strategy, arts administration, or similar).
• Schedule: Full-time, in person (three days per week in-office in Greenpoint, Brooklyn), with flexibility for nights/weekends when clients have events.
• Compensation: Annual salary $60,000–$70,000, commensurate with experience.
• Benefits: Health, dental, vision, pet insurance (because your corgi deserves coverage), flexible scheduling, paid travel for events, and as much live music as your heart can handle.
• Growth: Tons of room for creative thinking, new ideas, and experimenting with approaches that haven’t been tried before.
