Public Relations Account Executive

Who We Are: Foxglove is a communications consultancy with expertise in publicity, marketing, and brand strategy. Foxglove was founded by Gia Vecchio, a strategist and storyteller with over a decade of experience across hospitality, travel, beverage, and fashion brands that range from savvy startups to global, household names.

The Foxglove philosophy is rooted in a few simple truths:

• The best media results happen when you combine old-fashioned relationships with a new-school approach to PR. Read: no jargon, antiquated releases, or generic efforts.
• PR should drive more than reputation. When done right, it should open the doors to new partnerships, generate revenue opportunities, and solve for business challenges.
• You must take a holistic approach at storytelling to arrive at bespoke solutions.
