Overview

OVERVIEW

Meraki (mer-ä-kē), v. Greek. To do something with soul, creativity, and passion. Meraki Communications Group is a full-service communications and marketing agency with a passion for telling stories—whether that’s through brand development, graphic design, content creation, stakeholder engagement, and media relations to meet the unique needs of government agencies, non-profits, and private-sector companies.  Guided by the principles of inclusion, empowerment, and change, our team brings decades of combined experience to our client’s priorities connecting the dots and pairing strategic communications and marketing solutions with meaningful impact, reach, and engagement to meet client needs.

Our agency was born out of a vision to serve the interests of populations that have been historically underestimated, underserved, and underrepresented by amplifying voices and causes that might otherwise be overlooked. That vision propels our work, which—at its core—seeks to bridge the gaps and connection points between awareness, access, and opportunity.

We are seeking an Account Executive (AE) who is passionate about using artful communications to effect lasting change for our clients. The AE is a strategic thinker, effective communicator, taskmaster, and organizer with a prowess in project execution. The ideal candidate will build, manage, and execute multi-channel integrated marketing and strategic communications deliverables and campaigns. The Account Executive is driven to go above and beyond for our clients and our internal team.  Essentially, the AE is a foundational player for the internal agency and external client teams.
