We make cool stuff. We generate interactive, experiential, and experimental ideas. We’re all about conversing with the consumer, not advertising to them. We are conversation changers. What’s new is old: we concentrate on what’s next.
We’re brand consultants as much as we are brand stewards. And our ideas meet at the intersection of creativity and application. We believe in using creativity to solve our clients’ business problems, which makes us more than just advertisers.
Who You Are.
You have a solid background in Account Planning, having worked for 3-5 years in a planning department at a creatively-driven agency. You know the basics of how to write a creative brief and you've worked directly with clients and creative teams in the development of advertising. You have a passion for the planning discipline and possess a natural curiosity in people and culture. You are smart, articulate and are willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in wherever needed. Perhaps most importantly, you're a self-starter with an affable personality and a good sense of humor!
Optional, but important, we're looking for candidates with experience working on brands that are a natural part of youth culture and/or a person with a deep understanding of social media, from both a user's and marketer's perspective.
The Job.
• You'll be an important addition to our planning team on T-Mobile, supporting two planning directors in the development of major campaigns, and work more autonomously as the lead planner on several exciting and high-profile assignments (new device launches, sports sponsorships, and the like.) You’ll touch everything from up-front information gathering, strategic development and ideation, creative development through to campaign effectiveness assessment.
• You'll spearhead a quarterly consumer and cultural trends presentation given to agency staff, supported by two junior-level planners.
• In addition, this position will be an important go-to member of the new business team when we're pitching new business.
The Opportunity.
We’re surrounded by the Googles, Nintendos, Microsofts, Amazons, Starbucks and rivers, lakes and mountains. In short, we’re naturally drawn to the Next Big Thing.
The Perks.
Comprehensive benefits package includes: medical, dental, vision, pet insurance, company-matched 401(k), paid vacation and sick days, 12 company-paid holidays, 2 Floating Holidays, 3 Summer Fun Fridays, Flexible Spending Accounts, and discounts at vendors such as T-Mobile and Apple.

Ever worked for one of those companies where you check your watch every five minutes, willing it to say “time to go home”? Where happy hour is always hours away? Where making instant coffee is often the highlight of the day?
Yeah, we’re not one of those companies. Work with us, and the average day might find you pitching the world’s best reporters on a super stealth start-up, building a Facebook page, dreaming up a new brand tagline, and handling a breaking crisis. All before lunch.
LEWIS is a global boutique tech PR firm, meaning we offer our clients global scale with plenty of personal attention. In San Francisco, we represent leaders in the worlds of digital entertainment, gaming, consumer tech and B2B. We’ve launched many of these to the public, and work tirelessly to keep them front of mind with their key audiences, through a variety of channels, including social media.
Unlike some other firms though, we don’t view social media as a separate entity. We firmly believe it has to be integrated into a strategic communications campaign, that has compelling content, and smart people, at its core. So, we hire smart people and get them to create great content that can be spread virally through both traditional channels (like press) and emerging channels (like Twitter), to reach the right people at the right time in the right way.
Of course, that starts with being obsessively, compulsively in love with great content, and consuming it any chance you get. Blogs, TV, print, online, viral, radio, semaphore – we want you to be voracious in your media appetite.
We work and play hard, because we love what we do. Want to get on board? Read on.
What we can offer you:
The Account Executive role at LEWIS rewards a proactive nature, enthusiasm and drive. Your professional skills will be enhanced every day you spend at the company, and you’ll be working with a team that has your back. Every time.
You will play a key and visible role in the execution of integrated PR programs for a range of B2B and consumer tech clients at LEWIS. You will primarily be focused on proactive engagement and relationship building with media, bloggers and social media influencers, leading to positive awareness and coverage for each client.
Want to learn how to translate all that media goodness into measurable results? By working with us, you’ll get a deep insight into how PR and social media can deliver tangible ROI, using sophisticated tools to monitor and measure results, awareness levels and where the key influencers are.
If you can talk your way out of a parking ticket while explaining how the meter works, you’re just what we’re looking for. Add in killer writing skills and the ability to work as part of a close team, and we’d like you to press the button where it says ‘apply’.
What you can offer us:
You’re bright, personable and technology-savvy, with a passion for both traditional and social media, and a broad range of experience and interests. You will need a bachelor's degree in a related field with an above average GPA, knowledge of technology (either enterprise technology or gaming/digital entertainment are important) and have excellent multi-tasking/organizational skills. Usage and an avid interest in social media channels will also get you through the door.
We’d love you to have a minimum of one year of relevant public relations experience, and hope you will be articulate, detail-oriented, creative, energetic and ambitious. Oh, and a strong sense of humor is key. Please.
Salary & benefits (otherwise known as the good stuff):
We reward people who reward us. It’s that simple. Salaries are highly competitive, and the benefits are generous. Highlights include:
• 100% paid health
• Vision and dental insurance
• 401K plan
• 16 paid vacation days
• 11 public holidays
• 2 personal development days

•Company-organized outings, including parties, charity events and volunteer days
•Great travel perks
•Vibrant startup atmosphere, yet the stability of being part of Expedia, Inc.
•Opportunities to grow
•An all-inclusive, diverse culture
As you can see, it's different here. If you're the type of person who thrives on delivering solutions to develop our industry niche, as well as your future, you're landing at the right place.
Welcome. Now prepare for career take-off.
Job Description:
Have you been living in spreadsheets your whole working life (or at least some significant part of it) and find yourself lacking … meaning or ownership? What if you could take your ability to analyze data and make good decisions and apply it to a fast and growing business? This business – Search Engine Marketing (SEM) for Hotwire.com – would be yours and yours alone. You own the analysis and decision-making for the program. You own the budget. You own the return on that budget. You own the words behind every single ad. You own the testing and optimization of those words.
But wait, it gets better. What if Hotwire had just deployed a market leading tool to make it light years easier to grow your SEM business? This new tool ties up-to-date financial information with search term data (from Google, Yahoo, and such) to allow you to optimize performance far faster and more accurately than was possible in the past. It takes what was a manual, line by line process and turns it into something scalable. More search terms, more dollars per search terms. More money.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, we are looking for a competitive, analytical superstar to grow the heck out of our Search Engine Marketing program. Past experience in SEM is preferred. If you lack direct experience, but still have the core capabilities, we should talk. We’ve found in the past that direct experience works. But we’ve also found that folks from investment banking, consulting or even PhD research programs have been a good fit. And you don’t get killer travel discounts working for an investment bank or consulting firm, do you?
Core Responsibilities:
• Grow the profit associated with the SEM program through superior campaign management and project management.
• Support Search Engine Marketing through analysis, optimization, and new keyword acquisition
• Build search engine volume and efficiency forecasts as part of the annual business planning process
• Conceptualize and initiate tests (keyword bids, ad copy, and landing pages) in order to continually improve key metrics (click, search, convert) across campaigns
• Make recommendations on keyword selection and prioritize expansion efforts
• Manage relationships with search engine marketing partners
• Stay informed of industry trends and best practices
• Investigate and implement new technologies, services, automation capabilities, and/or vendor solutions that enhance SEM
• Act as the Search Engine Marketing point of contact on technical development
Requirements:
• Minimum 3-5 years of business experience. 2-4 years of search engine marketing experience preferred. Online retail experience is a plus
• Strong applied analytics. To us, this means you love data, gleaning insights from data, and making decisions based on data. You need to have demonstrable history of doing this. You need to want to keep doing this. Applied analytics should make you happy. Seriously.
• Ability to work on multiple things at once while staying focused on the details. We move at a fast pace and generally have 3-5 projects going at any one time.
• Curiosity. You ask what, why, how. Like “What are our competitors doing?”, “How are consumers thinking about this?”, “Why aren’t I getting the placement I thought I would get with this particular term and bid?”. You just have to know.
• An entrepreneurial spirit. We’re going to give you a business to own.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
Hotwire, an equal opportunity employer, offers an exciting opportunity for qualified career-motivated professionals. We provide competitive compensation, performance bonus and the chance to work with talented people in a winning, successful, and pleasant environment. We offer many premium benefits including 401(k) with an employer match, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation and sick time and much more.
