NES Creative is a creative communications agency specializing in media relations for design, interior designers, architects, hospitality and cultural institutions. We work with a range of clients—from AD100 firms to emerging studios.
We’re seeking a New York–based Freelance PR Manager to join our team. This is a client-facing role that requires strong editorial contacts, instincts, deep familiarity with the design and architecture media landscape, and an ability to lead campaign execution with polish, precision, and creativity.
