Media Researcher at Scribe Media
Scribe Media helps authors create, publish, and market their books.
Are you news obsessed?
Do you really enjoy discovering new podcasts, TV shows, or magazines?
Is Google your best friend when you come across something you’re unfamiliar with?
At its core, this role is about amplifying our authors’ message. What you do is research the media outlets that are a perfect fit for them (whether that be a podcast, journalist, influencer, news outlet, conference, etc.). You do it by understanding an author’s strategy and being obsessively concerned with getting tasks done.
Here’s how it works:
An author and their Impact Specialist work together to create a stellar campaign strategy that helps the author achieve their marketing goals. This is where you come in:
You start by connecting with the Impact Specialist to understand the author’s strategy and what types of media contacts they’re looking for. Then you take off and are free to do what you do best: research!
Here’s a sneak peek at what your day-to-day will look like:
- You’ll receive a research assignment
- You’ll take time to dive into the necessary materials (author background, media strategy, and details of the research assignment)
- If needed, you’ll check in with the Impact Specialist with any initial questions you have
- You’ll use your masterful sleuthing skills to complete the research
- You’ll enter your research finds directly into Scribe’s media contact database
Basically, you are the ignition to an author’s media and outreach strategy. You do the initial work that makes an author’s media success inevitable!
Necessary Skills & Qualifications
Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this career:
- Courageously Curious & Communicative: You want to know how everything works and you’re not afraid to ask questions when learning a new skill. You’re naturally communicative and collaborative because curiosity is what drives you.
- You Are Organized & Task-Oriented: This is not a job for someone that is sloppy with details. You are an expert at juggling multiple projects at once, and you’re able to get things done and keep up with your projects.
- Impeccable Attention to Detail: Yes, you see the big picture. You see the small picture, too. If anyone's ever looked over your shoulder to find a missing item, they were elated when they realized, nope, nothing to catch because you handled it! In fact, impeccable attention to detail is so important, on the application when it asks you “what is your favorite animal” we want you to put “attention to detail is my middle name”.
- You Are Self-Motivated and Very Good at Getting Things Done: This is an absolute must. You must be the definition of a doer and very self-motivated. You thrive when you can manage yourself and your workload without someone looking over your shoulder. NOTE: Hard work does not mean endless hours. It only means accountability. There is no coasting and no hiding here. If the idea of being held accountable to achieve real results excites you, this is the right Crew for you!
- Strategic and Critical Thinking: Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, embrace the unknown, and adapt to a quickly changing environment without losing the thread on project goals. You can accurately analyze and assess the needs of an author and quickly identify potential media opportunities for them. You set clear expectations for yourself and others for successful outcomes and you can easily assess and pivot to meet those expectations.
