Account Coordinator (Praytell Australia)

Praytell is a creative communications agency built by strategic minds and spirited hearts who believe original storytelling, unexpected ideas and an instinctive recoil from anything remotely boring can shape culture and make people...well, give a sh!t. We partner with brands to create timely, integrated and headline-worthy campaigns rooted in smart strategy, creative excellence and a deep understanding of what's resonating right now.

We were born in Brooklyn, New York 10 years ago and have been cooking up award-winning work ever since (3x PRWeek Agency of the Year and Best Place to Work 8x times and counting…!). Here in Australia, we’re just warming up.

Our work is collaborative, fast-moving and driven by curiosity, grounded in how we show up for our clients and for one another. If you're looking to join an ambitious, deeply supportive team that's focused on doing great work with great people, we'd love to hear from you.

The Gig

Praytell is looking for an Account Coordinator to join our team in Melbourne. This hands-on role will offer you the opportunity to develop your media, influencer and social skills as you learn the fundamentals of strategic communications and brand storytelling. You’ll be working across an enviable roster of consumer accounts as part of a dedicated and tight knit team that takes the work seriously, but not ourselves. You’ll ideally have some internship, agency or relevant industry experience, be up with the news cycle, curious about cultural trends, and eager to make your mark in an ever-changing industry.

No two days look the same, but you can expect to spend your time:

• Working on a brilliant mix of global, emerging and much-loved consumer brands across retail, travel and tourism, sports and lifestyle, tech/entertainment, and more.
• Working with account leads and team mates that you’ll love learning from to support PR and creator programs from go to woah.
• Learning the fundamentals of media outreach, identifying stories to tell, trends to tap into and sharpening your skills with each successful send.
• Pitching to journalists and building your network of friendly contacts, immersing yourself in media daily to understand what makes something newsworthy.
• Supporting influencer campaigns, leveraging tools and tapping into communities to identify fresh and interesting talent, building relationships with creators across the country.
• Supporting admin tasks, media and influencer reporting and the delivery of robust gifting programs with detail orientation and supreme organisation.
• Bringing your unique perspective and bright ideas to creative brainstorms, and energy and optimism to problem solving big and small.

Who We Are

• We’re a global agency that’s just warming up in Australia. We work under one global P&L – which means access to world-class thinking, tech and tools, global insights, networking and mentorship, along with the mandate and ambition to build something uniquely Australian (and awesome) championed by our growing local team.
• Creative isn’t just a department here. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the way we work, challenge the status quo, and leave the industry a little better than we found it. That culminates in our global DEI initiatives, including the Praytell Intownships program here in Australia.
• We work hard to foster a thoroughly flexible working environment and operate a hybrid schedule, including 2+ days a week from our much-loved Cremorne office.
• On Fridays we operate a ‘flexi Friday’ schedule, designed to keep Fridays meeting-free for focused work and to give you space to support your personal wellbeing while delivering great client service.
• With offices across the U.S., U.K. and Australia, as well as many sister agencies across our Project Worldwide network, opportunities for global collaboration and immersion are plentiful – including our recently launched global mentorship program (matching you with a brilliant mind to learn, grow and be inspired), and our personal favourite, Camp Praytell.
• We have a time off policy which includes the mandated 20 days annual leave per year, plus Christmas to New Year’s Day as gifted holidays.
• We offer parental leave benefits and flexible return to work arrangements that we’re proud of, as well as Employee Resource Groups (BEACON, Compañeros, elevAsian, Herizon and Prism) and access to our employee assistance program, which includes mental health support and counselor access for you and your family.

Equal Opportunity Employer

We are an equal-opportunity employer. We welcome everyone at Praytell and do not discriminate. Period. All qualified applicants will receive consideration in accordance with state and federal legal requirements, and because it’s the right thing to do. We take the responsibility of caring for our employees seriously and offer benefits that prove it - flexible schedules, hybrid work, employee resource groups - and so, so, so much more.
