Involve is seeking a talented public relations account manager with integrated agency experience to provide strategic insight, execute multifaceted PR initiatives within integrated marketing campaigns, manage client relationships, and track results.

This role requires a rock-solid public relations background, high level of creativity, flair for strategy, in-depth knowledge of current PR tools, and demonstrated media results.
