Strategic Communications (Public Relations) and Multimedia Producer
The Creative Company | Madison, Wisconsin
Who We Are
The Creative Company was founded 37 years ago in Madison, Wisconsin, by our founder and President, Laura Gallagher. Over the last three and a half decades, we have become one of the most trusted and well-respected creative firms in Madison. Our foundation was built on public relations, on words that matter, and on building trust and doing good in the community we call home.
We work with community-minded, values-based leaders, businesses, and nonprofits on a mission to help, heal, or change the communities they serve. Through strategic communications, branding, public relations, and digital marketing, we help them build trust, increase visibility, and drive meaningful growth.
The Opportunity
We are seeking someone who can communicate effectively across multiple media and who preferably has a background in journalism or public relations.
You will step into active client work, writing, pitching, producing, and coordinating, while helping maintain the quality, responsiveness, and results our clients expect. You will own, drive, and deliver creative and PR work. You'll also produce short videos, documentaries, and TV commercials.
This place will challenge you, help you grow, and expect more of you than most places do. However, the work we do makes a real difference, and we're confident you'll be glad you made this choice.
