Independent Media & Influencers Outreach

We are seeking a part-time freelancer to lead outreach to independent media outlets and influencers in support of our documentary and campaign work.

This position is specifically for someone who already has established relationships and contacts within the independent media and/or influencer space. We are not looking for someone who will be starting from scratch. The ideal candidate already understands these ecosystems, knows who to approach, and has a proven track record of successfully pitching projects, securing coverage, and building media or influencer partnerships.

The freelancer will identify, cultivate, and manage relationships with independent journalists, podcasters, content creators, and social media influencers whose audiences align with our social justice and political storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a media and influencer contact database
• Identify relevant journalists, podcasters, creators, influencers, and independent media outlets for specific projects and campaigns
• Pitch Brave New Films projects, films, campaigns, and social content through email, DMs, calls, and other outreach
• Develop and maintain relationships with media and influencers
• Help create and execute outreach strategies for documentary releases and social media campaigns
• Track outreach, responses, coverage, partnerships, and engagement results
• Provide regular updates on outreach efforts and results

Qualifications

• Existing relationships and established contacts within independent media, journalism, podcasting, or the influencer/content creator space are required
• Demonstrated experience successfully pitching projects, securing media coverage, or developing partnerships
• Strong understanding of the independent media and influencer landscape
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to clearly and persuasively represent Brave New Films' mission and work
• Comfortable working independently and managing outreach with minimal supervision
• Experience in political, documentary, social justice, or advocacy-related media is a strong plus

This is a remote, part-time position (approximately 20 hours/week) with a flexible schedule.

Hourly Rate: $30/hour
