Part-time PR Consultant responsible for securing earned media placements, pitching wellness and lifestyle press, managing product sampling, developing editorial calendars, supporting founder bylines and awards, tracking PR performance, and identifying disease-claim risks. The role requires strong consumer PR experience, media relationships, personalized pitch writing, and knowledge of FDA and DSHEA structure-function claim rules.
Apothékary is looking for a part time PR consultant to help with earned media placements related to hero products, new launches, thought leadership, and preparation for holiday gift guides and "best of " lists.
- Objectives: Deliver one major placement per month tied to brand story, founder (Shizu), or a hero product (Blue Burn, Wine Down, Take the Edge Off)
- Weekly pitching cadence - target 5 personalized pitches to a curated media list each week (not mass blasts)
- Manage weekly product sampling/mailers to press, podcast hosts, and media-adjacent tastemakers
- Build and maintain an editorial calendar around seasonal wellness moments (Dry January, New Year resets, summer wellness, holiday gifting)
- Maintain and grow relationships with tier-1/tier-2 wellness, lifestyle, and beauty press
- Source founder byline opportunities, award submissions, and "best of" roundup placements
- Monthly reporting: placements secured, impressions/UVM, sentiment, share of voice vs. competitors
- Flag any coverage or quotes that risk disease-claim language before it runs
- Reporting on misses, not just wins. Pitches sent, response rate, reasons for passes.
- Package every placement for reuse: pull quote, logo asset, and link delivered to the content team within 48 hours for site press bar, paid whitelisting, and creator briefs
Requirements
- 3–5+ years consumer PR with a proven earned-media portfolio (not just agency management), ideally in wellness/beauty/CPG or supplements
- Active, current relationships with tier-1/tier-2 wellness/lifestyle/beauty press, podcast hosts, and "best of"/gift guide/awards cycles
- Strong personalized pitch writing, editorial calendar planning, and founder byline development
- Working knowledge of FDA/DSHEA structure-function claim rules, with ability to flag disease-claim risk in coverage before it runs
- Remote work opportunity, but LA or NYC based (or strong LA/NYC media relationships) preferred

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
