- 💪 Embrace Challenges. We see obstacles as opportunities to invent better solutions.

- 💡 Think Differently. We get a thrill from finding better solutions others haven't seen.

The role We’re hiring a freelance publicist to feature Short Story where our customer reads: shopping roundups and gift guides at Real Simple, InStyle, Good Housekeeping and People, and stories in places like Harper’s Bazaar, The Cut and WSJ.

What success looks like • 8+ placements in shopping roundups and gift guides, at least 3 in priority outlets • 2+ features or expert quotes in top-tier fashion and lifestyle press • New links from fashion and lifestyle sites • A clear monthly read on what coverage drives in signups

You’re a fit if • You have 6+ years in fashion, beauty or lifestyle PR • Shopping editors answer your emails today • You’ve landed commerce placements recently and can show us • You know affiliate networks and what a fair deal looks like • You tell us what will and won’t land, even when we don’t want to hear it • You enjoy teaching. You’ll work alongside our coordinator and help her build real PR skills

The details • This is a freelance contract role. You’ll invoice monthly, set your own schedule, and work from your own setup. • About 10 to 15 hours a week, heavier in the first two months • Clear weekly milestones. • Remote, US. Starting in November • You’ll work closely with our CEO, Director of Growth, and Community & Marketing Growth Operator.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
