Event Activator position requires a strong, enthusiastic individual with a clean, polished appearance who pays great attention to detail. Activator will serve as an ambassador for client and PR company and should be friendly, approachable, and outgoing. It is essential to be a quick, on-your-feet learner who can adapt to last minute changes and other common event mini-crises.

The event activator position plays a crucial role in that process and on our team. This person must be able to help develop and execute a clear strategy, ask the right questions upfront, negotiate the best deal, then clearly communicate logistical information to the right parties while helping develop great relationships, planning for the unexpected, and taking advantage of opportunities on-site.
Events take a lot of due diligence and follow up. Number of events vary per month, though usually there will be a maximum of three per month. Events will usually require approximately 1-2 hours of prep time, 3-5 hours for actual execution, and 1-2 hours for breakdown and wrap up. This position pays on a project-by-project basis.
