Our Open Roles

We are always looking for motivated talent. At MAPR, we’re focused on telling the stories that matter to audiences of importance. From content and PR to digital marketing to creative and web services, our energetic team of problem-solvers and storytellers practice what public relations should be. Do you think you have what it takes? Come work with us!

Internship

We believe that greatness can come from anyone, anywhere, anytime! Are you ready to intern at MAPR, one of the coolest PR agencies in the Rocky Mountain region? With us, the most important thing you’ll do here is learn. Working closely with our seasoned professionals, interns will gain experience on a number of client projects, and will be expected to help research, write, create — and most importantly — do the work. Never heard of a media list? No problem. We’ll teach you the why, how and what we do for our clients — a skill that will take you far in any industry, but especially in your path to becoming a kick-ass PR pro.

Not to bury the lede here, but we think you should know that this is a paid gig. No one does their best work for free, and we want your best.

Some of the cool stuff you’ll learn to do:

• Research. From everything to researching competitors to becoming a subject matter expert on a particular issue, the foundation of public relations is targeted research. We’ll show you how we do it and how to use that research.
• Identifying and pitching the media. Getting media coverage doesn’t happen by accident. You’ll learn how to put together appropriate media contacts and develop great pitches to generate media coverage.
• Thought leadership. You’ll help research industry trends so we can develop thought leadership pieces for our clients — things like blog posts, contributed articles and online comments.
• Prioritization. You’ll juggle multiple tasks in a single day and might work on four or five different clients in as many industries in a single morning.
• Media monitoring. You’ll find when our clients are in the news and share the good fortune with the team and the client.
• Social media. You’ll monitor social media for opportunities where clients can contribute valuable perspective.
• There’s more. There’s always more.

This might be the right job for you if:

• You have a degree in public relations, communications, journalism or a related field.
• You are really good with computers, the internet and can easily navigate through any modern app.
• You have an internship or two under your belt — or you might even have a year or two of experience and be looking for your next challenge.
• You are an excellent communicator and understand that includes being a good listener.
• You have to stop yourself from correcting grammar on your friends’ Facebook posts — and sometimes you just CAN’T stop yourself.
• You don’t mind an occasional “adult word” dropped around the office (and you can drop them yourself when appropriate).
• You realize we’re a small company and are willing to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done, whether that’s telling a prospect how amazing we are or emptying the dishwasher if no one else is available at the moment and there are clients coming in.
• You take good notes when needed and ask questions when something is not clear.
• You are good at keeping a schedule and know that deadlines are not merely suggestions.
• You proofread things you write — and are happy to do so for others — and you’re really good at it.
• You know your way around an AP Stylebook really well (bonus points if you can stump our CEO on AP Style trivia. Betcha can’t).
• Bottom line: you get sh*t done, and done well.

And here’s what you’ll enjoy:

• Competitive salary and flexibility to keep you balanced — all MAPRagency employees enjoy unlimited flextime!
• Quarterly Mandatory Fun programs. That’s what we call them: Mandatory Fun.
• A great benefits package with health insurance, dental, vision, a 401K plan and more!
• A fun, casual, hard-working team to spend your days with!

Account Coordinator

We’re looking for someone to support team members, from Account Executives to company officers, to provide world-class client service and results. You’ll understand public relations from either classwork or internships — ideally both, but we also need someone with a healthy dose of “geek” to lean on. If you’re looking for an agency that works with travel or fashion or fine wines or skincare — well, they’re out there, but we’re not one of them. We like to say that we do the hard stuff — technology, professional services, business-to-business and all things connected. Think IoT and AI are pretty cool? So do we.

Some of the cool stuff you’ll do:

• Researching the best possible media targets — from traditional media to online influencers — for each client you work on, and helping your team figure out how best to get their attention.
• Finding and cataloging editorial calendars so our clients can get featured in roundup stories and focused features throughout the year.
• Helping to research industry trends so we can develop thought leadership pieces for our clients — things like blog posts, contributed articles and online comments.
• Pitching the media members and influencers you find to inform them about our clients and work to get coverage ranging from feature articles to quotes to product reviews.
• You’ll juggle multiple tasks in a single day and might work on four or five different clients in as many industries in a single morning.
• You’ll find when our clients are in the news and share the good fortune with the team and the client.
• You’ll develop social media posts and respond to inquiries on behalf of our clients on communities like Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter and more.
• Execute research on potential new clients to help us continue to grow.
• You’ll work with content on clients’ websites and make sure everything is up to speed.
• There’s more. There’s always more.
