Ensure each show has:
- A clear PR narrative aligned with its brand positioning
- Distinctiveness within the Cirque portfolio
Guide and support show‑level PR managers and agencies, without centralizing execution unnecessarily
Reduce fragmentation and inconsistency across markets

4. Media Relations & Executive Visibility

Maintain senior‑level relationships with key media outlets across North America
Oversee:

- Feature placements
- Profiles
- Reviews and editorial opportunities
Coordinate executive and creative talent visibility where relevant, in alignment with brand and corporate narratives
Act as a senior spokesperson when appropriate

5. Crisis & Reputation Management (Regional)

Ensure fast, coordinated, and on‑brand responses in high‑pressure situations
Act as the regional escalation point for issues related to shows in North American regions

6. Agency & Partner Management

Define and manage the North America PR agency ecosystem
Set clear expectations, scopes, and KPIs for agencies across markets
Ensure promoters and venues operate within Cirque PR guardrails where applicable

7. Measurement & Performance

Define and track PR success beyond impressions:
- Impact on demand and awareness
- Contribution to launch momentum

Partner with marketing and analytics teams to connect PR activity to business outcomes
Regularly report insights and recommendations to the CMO and leadership team

Profile & Experience

Required
