Media Strategist
Who We Are
Stu Loeser & Co. Strategy is an opinion-influencing strategy firm working across the country and around the world to help companies, organizations and individuals navigate the world’s most complicated news markets.
Led by legendary media guru Stu Loeser, we are a team of strategists best known for leveraging traditional and digital media to secure validation in top-tier national and local outlets and providing corporate intelligence, crisis communications and digital targeting. Our clients include some of the most prominent global technology companies, Fortune 100 corporations, thriving startups, high-profile industry thought leaders and issue advocacy coalitions.
We take pride in the talent we attract, train and retain.
Who You Are
Our media strategists think beyond traditional public relations and communication strategies to help us provide research, ideas and opinion-shaping implementation to a diverse range of clients, from startups and advocacy groups to investment funds and C-suite executives. You’ll be expected to draft written content, track news trends, navigate open-source records, follow paper and money trails and help come up with new ways of solving our clients’ problems,
The ideal candidates will be strong writers with a keen interest in some combination of new media, tech, business and politics. You need not have a communications or research background, but you should be interested in gaining exposure to a variety of industries and our clients' internal functions. Please note that though we work with some great nonprofits and help some amazing philanthropic projects, most of our company’s work is and will continue to be done for for-profit corporate clients.
