Fireside Campaigns is a values-first firm that integrates public relations, digital strategy, data-driven analytics, and design to create full service communications for movement partners.
The firm supports exciting progressive candidates and non-profit clients across the country. You can read more about us and some of our clients on our website. Fireside Campaigns works to transform our country into one that truly lives by the best values that it professes. We've personally expressed our commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion through our work on behalf of progressive clients and movement partners since the day we were founded. We understand that we've sometimes fallen way short of ensuring that same diversity within the ranks of our own firm and are actively seeking to remedy it. That is why we are redoubling our commitment to promoting racial equity inside our organization, its operations, and its management processes. We want Fireside to be a place where everyone feels welcome, everyone has an environment where they can feel confident and safe, and where everyone can succeed.
That is why equal employment opportunity is a guiding principle for us. We are committed to ensuring a workplace where employment and promotional opportunities are based upon individual capabilities and qualifications without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status or any other protected characteristic as established under law.
About the RoleWe are looking for a creative self-starter who is excited to learn about digital programming, and how it supports our clients' especially email. You should be a strong writer who can turn things around on tight deadlines. More than anything, you should be excited to work with our clients and learn from our team.
