1What this role really is

This isn't a 'sit back and watch' kind of job; you're right in the thick of it, learning the ropes of how we get our stories out there. You'll be the backbone of our media team, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes so our more senior folks can focus on landing those big stories. Think of yourself as the team's air traffic controller for all things media, keeping track of pitches, coverage, and journalist contacts. It's a busy role, sure, but it's also where you'll pick up the foundational skills that'll set you up for a cracking career in PR.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Media List Accuracy
The percentage of pitch emails that don't bounce back because of outdated contact information.
Target · <5% bounce rate

If you send 100 pitches and only 3 bounce back, that's a 3% bounce rate, which is great. If it's 10, we'll need to work on your research skills a bit more.

Coverage Report Timeliness
How consistently you deliver the daily or weekly media coverage reports by the agreed-upon deadline.
Target · 100% delivered by 9 AM (or agreed time)

If the team expects the daily news roundup by 9 AM, we'll track how often you hit that. Missing it means the team starts their day without crucial info, so it's a big one.

Pitch Support Volume
The number of pitches you draft or significantly contribute to, ready for review by a senior team member.
Target · 10-15 pitches per month

You'll draft a pitch based on a template for a new product launch. We'll count that as one. The goal isn't just quantity, but that they're solid enough for a quick edit, not a complete rewrite.

Media Monitoring Alert Management
The speed and accuracy with which you flag important media mentions or potential issues from our monitoring tools.
Target · Actioned within 30 minutes for urgent alerts

A negative story about a competitor breaks, or a key executive is mentioned. You spot it in Meltwater and flag it to the team straight away, giving us time to react.

Proactive Learning & Initiative
How often you ask thoughtful questions, seek out new tasks, and show a genuine desire to understand the 'why' behind what we do.
  • You're asking 'Why did we target *that* publication?' or 'What's the goal of this campaign?' during team meetings. You're suggesting improvements to a process, even if it's small. You're not waiting to be told what to do next, but actively looking for ways to help.
Team Support & Reliability
Your ability to be a dependable team member, responding promptly to requests and completing tasks accurately, even when they're not the most exciting.
  • When someone asks you to pull a report, you get it done without needing a reminder. You're quick to offer help if someone's swamped. People feel they can rely on you to get the basic, but crucial, stuff done right the first time.
Adherence to Process & Brand Guidelines
How well you follow our established procedures for media outreach, reporting, and ensure all communications align with our brand's tone and messaging.
  • Your drafted pitches always use the correct boilerplate. You remember to get Legal's sign-off before sending anything sensitive. You're not cutting corners on our internal approval processes, even when deadlines are tight.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning & Development

You'll be asking 'why' a lot, soaking up knowledge from more experienced team members, and actively seeking out new skills. Every day is a chance to learn something new about media, communications, or our industry.

You're constantly taking notes during team meetings, asking your manager for feedback on your drafts, and maybe even doing a quick online course on media ethics in your own time.

Contributing to the Bigger Picture

Even though your tasks might seem small, you'll get a real kick out of seeing your accurate media list lead to a successful pitch, or your coverage report highlight a major story. You like knowing your work is making a tangible difference to the team's success.

You feel a sense of pride when a story you helped facilitate appears in a major publication, even if your contribution was 'just' making sure the journalist's email was correct.

Being Part of a Dynamic Team

You enjoy working closely with others, collaborating on projects, and sharing ideas. The energy of a busy communications team, especially when a big story breaks, excites you.

You're happy to jump in and help a colleague with a task, you contribute to team discussions, and you enjoy the camaraderie of working towards a common goal.

What frustrates people
  • The black hole of pitches: Spending ages crafting a perfect pitch, only for it to get no response.
  • Tedious admin: Updating media lists or sifting through irrelevant news clips can feel like a grind.
  • Lack of immediate impact: It takes time to build relationships and land stories, so instant gratification is rare.
  • Strict adherence to process: Sometimes you'll wonder why we have so many approval steps, but they're there for a reason.
  • Internal stakeholders not understanding PR: Explaining why 'getting us in Forbes' isn't as simple as making a phone call.
What this role does not give you
  • Instant gratification or constant praise for every task.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic decisions (that comes later).
  • A quiet, predictable 9-5 routine – the news cycle doesn't care about your schedule.
  • The chance to be the primary company spokesperson (not yet, anyway).

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the efficiency and accuracy of our media outreach. Your meticulous work ensures our pitches land with the right journalists, our coverage tracking is precise, and our team has the data they need to show our impact. Get it right, and we save valuable time and build better relationships. Get it wrong, and we could miss opportunities or, frankly, look a bit disorganised to the outside world.

Inside the business
  • Media Relations Specialist (your direct manager)
  • Senior Media Specialist (who you'll often support)
  • Product Marketing team (for basic product info)
  • Legal team (for review processes on public statements)
Outside the business
  • Journalists (indirectly, through accurate contact info)
  • Media monitoring vendors (like Cision or Meltwater)
  • News distribution services (PR Newswire, Business Wire)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • A proven ability to conduct thorough research and synthesise information effectively.
  • Demonstrable organisational skills, with experience managing multiple tasks or projects.
  • A genuine interest in news, current affairs, and the media landscape.
  • Basic proficiency with common office software (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Media Monitoring & Analysis

Moving beyond basic keyword alerts to crafting complex Boolean search queries that capture nuanced sentiment, identify emerging themes, and accurately track message pull-through. This means getting much more sophisticated with tools like Meltwater or Cision.

Boolean Logic for Search · Sentiment Analysis Nuances · Topic Modelling · Competitor Benchmarking

  • This week: Ask your manager to show you how they build advanced search queries in Cision/Meltwater. Take detailed notes.
  • This month: Practice building your own complex Boolean searches for a hypothetical campaign and compare your results to existing reports.
  • Month 2: Take an online course or webinar offered by Cision or Meltwater on advanced search and reporting features.
  • Month 3: Propose a new, more refined set of search queries for one of our ongoing campaigns to improve accuracy.

Quick win: Start by trying to refine one existing search query in our media monitoring tool using more advanced Boolean operators. See if you can reduce irrelevant mentions by 10%.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry publications (e.g., PRWeek, Campaign, The Drum) to stay on top of trends and news.
  • Attend industry webinars or virtual events to learn from experienced professionals.
  • Network with peers and more senior professionals in the PR industry (even virtually).
  • Seek out mentorship opportunities within the team or through industry associations.
  • Take online courses on topics like advanced Excel, data visualisation, or AI prompting for communications.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering for PR Tasks

AI tools like ChatGPT and similar LLMs are becoming incredibly powerful for drafting, summarising, and brainstorming. The people who know how to 'talk' to these AIs effectively – how to write great prompts – will be significantly more productive than those who don't. It's about getting the AI to give you exactly what you need, not just generic output.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Media Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

Roles this leads to

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, there's a fair bit of grunt work in media relations, especially when you're starting out. But what if you could offload some of that to a smart assistant? We're all about using AI to make your job less about the tedious stuff and more about the interesting, impactful work. Think of AI as your personal intern, but one that never sleeps and learns incredibly fast.

For a Media Coordinator, AI isn't about replacing you; it's about making you incredibly efficient. It helps you get through the repetitive tasks faster, so you can spend more time learning, building relationships, and actually understanding the media landscape. We want you to be an AI power-user from day one, not just someone who occasionally dabbles.

Pitch Personalisation Assistant

Imagine AI scanning a journalist's last 50 articles and their social media. It then drafts a few unique, hyper-personalised pitch angles for you, tailored to their exact beat and recent interests. You'll still review and edit, of course, but it cuts down the initial research and drafting time significantly.

Instant Journalist Briefing Generator

Before a big meeting or call with a journalist, just type their name into our AI tool. It'll spit out a one-page summary of their career history, key coverage areas, recent articles, and even their general sentiment towards our industry. No more digging through multiple tabs for an hour.

Predictive News Trend Spotter

Our AI constantly sifts through real-time media and social data. It can help you spot emerging narratives – both good and bad – before they blow up. This means you can flag potential issues to the team hours or even days earlier than manual monitoring would allow, giving us a crucial head start.

Drafting & Summarisation Buddy

Need to summarise a long news article for a daily report? Or draft a quick internal update? Our AI tools can take a chunk of text and condense it into key bullet points or a concise paragraph, saving you time and ensuring you don't miss anything important. It's also great for generating initial drafts of internal comms.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Media Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 12 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Media Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Public Relations Communications

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role – storytelling, media relations, crisis management, and strategic communication – are highly transferable. You could move into in-house communications for almost any industry (tech, finance, healthcare), or join a PR agency, or even transition into broader marketing or public affairs roles. The core ability to manage reputation and communicate effectively is always in demand.
