At 360PR+, we’re passionate about helping brands lead conversations that matter. As one of the industry’s most respected independent agencies — and a proud B Corporation — we bring creativity, curiosity, and an entrepreneurial spirit to everything we do. For nearly 25 years, we’ve been trusted by some of the world’s best-loved brands, recognized not just for the work we deliver, but for the culture we’ve built together.
As an Account Executive at 360PR+, you are fully entrenched in agency life, with direct responsibility for a variety of day-to-day activities including playing a prominent client-facing role. You’ll have an opportunity to play a key role in developing and executing media strategies, events, and more for consumer and lifestyle brands across a variety of sectors. Your positive, energetic attitude and proactive “modus operandi” demonstrate that you avidly seek new challenges and embrace new assignments for clients and the agency. These traits, combined with your entrepreneurial mindset, fuel your eagerness to master this level and continue forging ahead.
What You’ll Do

- Drive highly organized day-to-day activities such as media tours and brand ambassador programs
- Share your know-how and lessons learned with AAEs, ACs and interns, as well as peers across the agency, to help further their growth, as well as your own
Your career journey at 360 will allow you to master the above skills and create the ability to proactively identify trends that go beyond the obvious story opportunities to garner attention. You’ll be given ample opportunity to directly engage with agency leadership, colleagues, clients, influencers, and other partners to develop a deeper level of critical thinking necessary to advance your career.
