Assistant Account Executive / Account Executive
Wine, Food & Travel Marketing Communications
Remote or Hybrid
Do you know the difference between pét-nat and Prosecco? Do you peruse Instagram and TikTok for trending dishes? Text the group chat about restaurant openings, wine discoveries, and cooking shows? Get excited by media wins and a perfectly-timed pitch email?
Nonni Strategic Marketing is a boutique marketing and PR agency serving imported wine and specialty food brands and regions, with a side of place-branding and personal PR to celebrate the terroirs and thinkers behind our clients’ premium products. We’re looking for an Assistant Account Executive or Account Executive (depending on experience) who is organized, curious, culturally plugged-in, and ready to grow.
You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, encouraged to think creatively, and given the flexibility to manage your time in the way that works best for you.
The Role
Support media relations for wine, food, and hospitality clients
Draft pitches, press releases, media alerts, and creative story angles
Build and maintain media lists

Have a demonstrated record of earned media placements for wine and/or food stories
Love food, wine, restaurants, travel, and hospitality culture
Are detail-oriented

Understand that PR is part planning, part timing, and 100% relationships
Have 1-5 years of experience in PR, hospitality, media, events, marketing, or a related field
Can speak and write in Spanish, Italian, French and/or German (an advantage)
What Makes This Role Different
Flexible schedule and location, but availability during Eastern (USA) time work hours is essential, and proximity to a major market for wine and food is preferred
PT/FT and freelance/staff options
A team that genuinely likes one another
Meaningful work with exciting wine, food and related brands
Space to grow quickly if you’re ambitious
Compensation & Perks
Competitive salary
Paid time off (for staff position)
Flexible work environment
Health club/co-working space access (depending on location)
Professional growth: ongoing formal PR training with enrollment in a recognized industry course
Occasional team gatherings (roughly quarterly), usually with wine and food tastings
Please note there is no relocation or work visa sponsorship
If you’re the kind of person who reads restaurant openings for fun, knows which editor just changed publications, and can keep calm during a trade tasting running 20 minutes behind schedule, we’d love to hear from you.
Please send your resume and a brief note to hello(at)nonnimarketing(dot)com telling us what restaurant dish, wine style, or lifestyle influencer is currently inspiring your next splurge.

About NSM
Since Nonni Strategic Marketing was founded in 2014 in New York City, the agency has served as a strategic partner to producers of quality food, beverage and travel experiences on their communications and commercial goals. Our international brands now benefit from our international footprint, from our NY-metro headquarters - a gateway to the USA - to our team spread across the US, UK and Europe. Our excellent trade and media network in targeted sectors and deep food, beverage and travel product knowledge support brands with expertise and efficiency.
Distinct from those of a public relations firm, our deliverables are not restricted to press coverage and events, though we produce both well. We work closely with our clients and commercial partners at all levels of product distribution to ensure that our clients’ marketing investments work to support their sales objectives. We focus on the strategies that build brands and the tactics that drive sales.
