About The Role

Idea Hall is seeking a hands-on Director of Public Relations and Integrated Communications to lead client programs and help grow our agency. You’ll guide integrated PR and communications work for a select portfolio—pairing strategic counsel with day-to-day execution—while mentoring a talented team across managers, associates and coordinators. You’ll also contribute to new business through prospecting, pitching and showing up at industry and client events.

What You’ll Do

Client leadership & strategy

  • Own the PR / integrated communications strategy and implementation for your accounts—setting clear objectives, building plans, and ensuring quality delivery across media relations, content, digital and stakeholder communications
  • Build trust with senior client partners by understanding their goals, surfacing insights, and proactively recommending new, strategically aligned program opportunities that drive results
  • Establish measurement frameworks, review performance regularly, and “re‑merchandise” wins to show ROI—optimizing throughout the year

Crisis & issues management

  • Lead readiness and response : risk scans, scenario planning, holding statements, media Q&As, escalation protocols and executive coaching
  • Serve as a steady counselor during fast‑moving moments; coordinate with legal / HR / operations as needed to align facts, messaging and channels

    • Team leadership

  • Lead and develop a team of managers, associates and coordinators, providing clear direction, constructive feedback, and growth opportunities; model our One Team culture and coach with empathy
  • Maintain high standards for writing, client communications and deliverables (e.g., bylines, press materials, messaging, strategic plans, recap reports)

    • Operations & growth

  • Practice diligent financial stewardship—scoping smartly, forecasting accurately and managing budgets to plan
  • Help identify and pitch new business; nurture referrals; represent Idea Hall at networking and client events (some evenings)
  • Champion Idea Hall’s people‑centered culture and core values : One Team, Relationships, Leadership, Hustle & Grit, Growth Mindset, Make an Impact

    • What You’ll Bring

  • Agency experience (required) leading PR / integrated communications programs and managing client relationships
  • Demonstrated crisis communications experience (issues planning, rapid response, executive counsel, media handling)
  • Proven ability to develop integrated strategies and translate them into compelling work that earns coverage, moves stakeholders and meets KPIs
  • Excellent writing across formats—bylines, press materials, messaging, Q&As, op-eds and recap decks—with sharp attention to detail
  • Strong collaborator who elevates cross-disciplinary work with creative, digital and marketing partners; solutions-oriented and calm under pressure
  • Comfort with proposals, budgets, scopes of work and presentations
  • Nice to have : APR or other relevant certifications; familiarity with EOS

    • Work Style, Schedule & Travel

  • We work together in our Costa Mesa office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with occasional local client visits and events (some evenings)

    • We’re not including extraneous site notices or boilerplate. This posting reflects the responsibilities and qualifications for the role.
