Toronto Ontario, Ontario, Canada kg&a Full time

We’re currently looking to hire a Communications Strategist to join our team of strategy experts. We are interested in hearing from a range of applicants at different experience levels, from early career to more experienced candidates. If you think this role sounds exciting, we want to hear from you. Successful candidates should be entrepreneurial self-starters with strong strategic thinking, leadership, and communications skills.


WHO IS KG&A

kg&a is an award-winning communications strategy firm specializing in city building and the urban landscape. Over the last 15+ years, we’ve earned our reputation as communications and public relations experts across the residential and commercial real estate, architecture, planning, and placemaking industries.


Regardless of sector, we work closely with our clients to help them communicate their message so that they can rise above the noise. That’s not only a matter of clarifying what our clients are saying, but where, when, why, and how they’re saying it. We know the landscape inside and out, and understand that landing a story is great, but building our clients’ brand story is better.


While experience in communications, marketing, or a related field is an asset, we define experience broadly. We’re looking for people that can help us connect the dots and make sense of our unique position at the intersection of multiple industries. As a result, we see a diversity of professional and educational backgrounds as one of our organizational strengths—and that’s why our team includes former journalists, urban planners, political advisors, economic development leaders and even sports media professionals, alongside seasoned public relations, communications, and social media experts.


Above all, we value proactive, creative problem solvers who are passionate about cities, design, real-estate, urbanism and making a positive impact, and will bring their own unique point-of-view to the role.


Tasks:

  • Develop and assist in the delivery of communication strategies and tactics that support client goals in collaboration with Account Directors and internal consultant teams
  • Participate and lead regular project and client meetings, delivering insights and counsel that advance objectives
  • Proactively identify emerging issues to inform decision-making, proposing new approaches to meet needs
  • Develop, write and edit press releases, media pitches, presentations, social media content, and other communications materials ensuring implementation and delivery of key messaging
  • Develop and manage external relationships with relevant media, stakeholders, and influencers, identifying and fostering new relationships to support client needs
  • Develop event concept and social media strategies and coordinate logistics with internal events and digital teams
  • Source and coordinate campaigns with third party vendors (photographers, videographers, graphic designers)
  • Monitor and measure campaign KPIs and communicate results to clients
  • Contribute to new business initiatives in conjunction with agency leadership
  • Champion firm’s goals and values, fostering culture and team dynamics


Requirements:

We welcome applications from individuals across various experience levels, ranging from early-career enthusiasts to seasoned professionals. Our ideal candidates possess a background in public relations, communications, or public affairs, or holds equivalent expertise in fields such as city building, real estate development, architecture, planning, or economic development.


  • Bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations, Communications, Journalism, Marketing, or a discipline related to what we do
  • Strong planning and project management skills with the ability to prioritize tasks, lead teams, and meet deadlines
  • Strong storytelling and writing skills to develop dynamic content
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to communicate with various audiences in a clear and concise manner
