PR & Earned Media
  • Build relationships with tier 1 journalists and influential industry publications most relevant to our customers.
  • Drive earned media around our flagship lists and research to expand their reach and strengthen CB Insights' authority.
  • Develop timely media angles around the markets and companies our analysts cover and rate, helping amplify their point of view and build credibility.
  • Turn major partnerships into broader stories that strengthen our credibility, and introduce CB Insights to new audiences.
  • Shape the CEO's external communications and point of view across major company, market, and industry moments.
  • Prepare executives and analysts to represent CB Insights effectively in interviews, with clear messaging, strong talking points, and practical coaching.
What You Bring to the Table
  • 5+ years of experience in public relations and social media, ideally focused on technology.
  • Strong creative instincts and a track record of developing unconventional ideas that break through.
  • Exceptional editorial judgment and an instinct for finding the story inside data, research, and conversations.
  • Excellent writer who can make complex ideas clear and interesting.
  • Proven ability to build strong journalist relationships and earn meaningful coverage.
  • Deep understanding of how to build an audience through social and earned distribution.
