  • Multitasker: If someone sends you a message with three questions, you answer them all and quickly. You’re adept at juggling multiple projects and deadlines. 
  • Constant Communicator: You know how to talk to and get responses from clients, the media and stakeholders, whether you’re picking up the phone, sending an email or typing up a text. You ask the questions needed to get your work done.    
  • Creative Writer: Your written communications are strong and strategic on any subject – and your loyalty to the AP Stylebook is unwavering. Your cover letter for this job will be as witty and clever as you are.   
  • Social Butterfly: You’re on the apps. You understand how each social media channel works, differs and how they would best work for clients. You notice trends and have creative ideas for social content creation – whether it’s highlighting superheroes or community leaders. 
  • News Junkie: The print and online newspapers, magazines and other media you read/listen to are bookmarked to inspire future campaigns. 
  • Task Master: This position also provides critical marketing and administrative support to the agency, including social media (this role leads JWC’s social media channels) and website management, phones, and general office tasks.  
  • Good Vibes Only: You take your work seriously, but also maintain a good dose of humor. (If you don’t like “The Office,” you may not be allowed to work here ….)

Not required but big pluses include: Digital marketing/advertising/SEO knowledge and experience and/or bilingual Spanish capabilities/fluency.
