WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
EXECUTION
- Build and maintain relationships with liberal Russian-speaking and international media, mostly operating from outside Russia
- Prepare comments and background material for editorial teams and PR partners
- Write and distribute press releases, contributed pieces, and other PR materials
- Initiate placements, find strong story angles, and turn product context into news hooks
