72Point is the news generation arm of SWNS Media Group with a mission to create stories, content and coverage that reflects the values and voices of our clients, who are both brands and top-tier PR agencies. 72Point leverages its strong media relationships — which we’ve built through our wider media group — to distribute quality, topical survey-led news stories. These are created for some of the top brands in the U.S., but we do not distribute press releases; instead, we create page-ready news content.
Our aim is to put our engaging content in front of digital editors of top-tier publications to garner unbeatable coverage for our clients. Our stories receive daily coverage in national publications like Bustle, Forbes, Martha Stewart and Entrepreneur.
We’re looking for an exceptionally talented writer, a creative thinker and a real “doer” to join our busy editorial team.
Our new editorial hire will join a genuinely friendly little team doing great things and become part of something that’s really growing fast. We also have offices in California and Texas, and we are expanding all the time — so the opportunities to impress really are there for the right person. We are a flexible work environment, where you have the autonomy to work in person at our Brooklyn office location or remotely from home; however, you must be a resident of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Florida or Texas at the time of employment.
