Rare Ideas is a women-run strategy and branding agency for F&B, hospitality, and retail brands. We work closely with founders and businesses who want to build brands that are fresh, strategic, and rooted in purpose.

Role Overview

We are seeking a PR & Collaborations Specialist with deep experience in earned media, brand storytelling, and influencer engagement. Prior work with F&B, hospitality, or lifestyle brands is highly preferred. This role is about building credibility through strategic PR and high-impact collaborations—while managing every detail, from outreach to event execution.

• Secure relevant press coverage across digital, regional, and national platforms
• Identify and build partnerships with niche F&B creators, tastemakers, and complementary brands
• Execute influencer campaigns with clear deliverables and KPIs
• Manage barters, paid deals, and ambassador relationships
• Plan and execute brand experiences: launches, tastings, pop-ups, and bar takeovers
• Handle end-to-end coordination including vendors, budgets, guest lists, and RSVPs
• Manage press and creator presence at on-ground events
• Prepare monthly reports covering reach, PR coverage, ROI, and relationship mapping
• Maintain and update contact databases (media, creators, vendors) in shared systems

Who You Are

• Minimum 3 years of experience in PR, influencer marketing, or event management
• Agency or in-house experience with F&B, hospitality, or lifestyle brands preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Skilled at relationship-building and negotiation
• Highly organized with experience managing budgets, logistics, and timelines

Why Work With Us

• Shape the public image and credibility of emerging and established lifestyle brands
• Lead meaningful collaborations that blend creativity, strategy, and cultural insight
• Work closely with founders, creatives, and strategists in a high-growth environment
• Be at the center of experiential branding, tastemaker marketing, and earned media impact
