Description
We are an LA-based visual media and creative agency assembling an agile, community-first consulting team for an upcoming multi-faceted public communications and outreach initiative.
The Role
We are seeking a sharp, culturally grounded Strategic Communications & Implementation Lead to drive our written narrative, public relations, and publication strategies. You will work side-by-side with our creative media production team and community engagement partners to shape how regional environmental initiatives are communicated to local residents, grassroots organizations, and civic stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Narrative & Strategic Planning: Develop clear, cohesive communications work plans, audience-specific messaging guides, and quarterly editorial calendars that highlight community benefits and ecological investments.
- Public-Facing Publications: Write and edit compelling newsletters, community fact sheets, executive summaries, and digital articles that break down technical environmental projects into engaging, plain-language stories.
- Media & Press Outreach: Draft press releases, media advisories, and talking points; coordinate outreach with hyper-local, community-based, and regional Southern California media outlets.
- Stakeholder & Engagement Support: Collaborate on public survey design, synthesize community feedback from listening sessions into actionable summary reports, and ensure language access priorities are met across all communications collateral.
Who You Are - Rooted in Los Angeles: You understand the cultural, geographical, and social fabric of Los Angeles County communities—especially urban corridor neighborhoods that have historically lacked green space and environmental investment.
- A Master of Plain-Language Translation: You can read a dense technical or civic project brief and immediately spot the human story that matters to everyday working families.
- Collaborative & Responsive: You thrive in agile creative teams, value direct and honest collaboration, and can hit deadlines reliably.
- Experienced Communicator: Demonstrated background in public affairs, community advocacy, nonprofit communications, journalism, or boutique PR. Prior experience with public agencies, open space initiatives, or community development is a major plus.
Requirements
Submission Requirements for Proposal Teaming
Because this role is being submitted as part of a formal agency procurement package, prospective partners must be ready to provide:
A brief cover note highlighting your connection to LA community storytelling.
A current resume or professional bio.
2–3 relevant writing samples (e.g., press release, newsletter, community fact sheet, or published article).
Your standard hourly consulting rate.
We are deeply committed to building a diverse, culturally representative team that reflects the vibrant communities of Greater Los Angeles. Local independent consultants, community advocates, and storytellers are strongly encouraged to apply.
