German Digital PR Consultant - Freelance

The mission for the role:

We're looking for a tenacious and well-rounded Freelance Digital PR Consultant for the German market, equally capable across brand creative and performance-driven approaches. As Popsa's founding Digital PR specialist in Germany, your mission is to establish a presence in this market, help shape the strategic direction of our PR efforts and lay the foundations for sustainable channel growth. You'll work closely with other market-specific PR leads and draw on support from our central editorial team to ensure consistency in quality and storytelling.

You'll be adept at balancing steady, high-quality output with careful management of brand risk and will consistently aim for best-in-class execution. As an individual contributor, you will use your existing network of PR contacts in Germany to help elevate Popsa's brand message and product awareness.

You'll collaborate confidently with teams across Creative, SEO and beyond, moving quickly across multiple communication channels to deliver impactful work.
