SixSpeed
As a Director of PR, you’re a PR leader with a creative strategic soul, energized by the intersection of story, action, culture, and community. You don’t just pitch press releases, you shape the story arc from the spark of an idea through its real-world echo. Your experience lies in using earned media to amplify branded content, social, and experiential actions. You’re a natural builder who’s ready to own and grow SixSpeed’s PR capabilities inside a fiercely creative agency environment.
You’re trend-aware but insight-driven. You bring deep relationships, but more importantly, you bring the ability to make things feel relevant. You’re an internal champion, a client whisperer, and a strategic doer, excited to help creative ideas punch above their weight.
