Assistant Account Executive

ABOUT MORNING WALK

We build Performance Branding Ecosystems that turn brand creativity into measurable business outcomes — work designed to create both emotional impact and real-world results. We serve household-name brands across hospitality, CPG, and manufacturing.

We’re Midwest-rooted and nationally recognized — a collaborative, senior-led team that brings big thinking to some of the most recognized brands in the country.

THE ROLE

The Assistant Account Executive, Integrated Communications will serve as a hands-on contributor across social media, influencer marketing, and public relations programs.

This role is well-suited for a communicator who is building their foundation — someone eager to learn how great content moves audiences, support influencer programs from research through delivery, and assist with earned media efforts alongside a senior-led team.

This role is client-adjacent and team-supported; you’ll work closely with senior team members to execute programs and develop the skills to grow into greater ownership over time.

• Write copy across formats including captions, short-form scripts, and story concepts under senior guidance
• Monitor platform trends and cultural moments; surface relevant insights for the team
• Help track and compile social performance data for reporting

Influencer Marketing

• Assist with influencer program support — talent research, vetting, tracking, and deliverable coordination
• Conduct content reviews to check for brand alignment and FTC compliance before content goes live
• Help maintain influencer tracking documents and organized talent lists

Public Relations & Earned Media

• Support earned media programs through media monitoring, coverage tracking, and media list upkeep
• Draft pitches, press releases, and supporting materials with guidance from senior team members
• Help manage inbound media responses in coordination with the broader team

Team & Administrative Support

• Keep project management tools, trackers, and team documents organized and current
• Contribute to a collaborative team culture with a positive, can-do attitude
• Support senior team members on day-to-day program needs as they arise

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

Skills & Qualifications

• Working knowledge of major social platforms and an eye for what makes content perform

• Comfort creating content — behind or in front of the camera — and a willingness to roll up your sleeves
• Foundational PR knowledge: familiarity with media relations, pitching, and monitoring tools a plus
• Strong writing fundamentals with an instinct for tone and brand voice
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks at once
• Proactive, communicative style — you flag issues early and ask good questions
• Collaborative energy and a genuine desire to learn in a fast-paced agency environment

• Bachelor’s degree in public relations, marketing, communications, or a related field preferred
• Experience in lifestyle, consumer, wellness, hospitality, or a similar category a plus

Physical Requirements

Day-to-day, you’ll be at your desk — writing, researching, coordinating, and communicating. When the work calls for it, you’ll also get out in the field for shoots, events, or in-person collaboration with clients and the team.

Bonus: You’ve already worked on a campaign, influencer activation, or social strategy — even as an intern — and you have something to show for it.
