Executive Marketing Assistant

Our Values

• We Refuse To Settle For Mediocrity. No matter what it is we are doing, we strive for nothing less than excellence. This excellence not only applies to everything we create; but in our interactions with others, with the world, and in what we do outside of our work. We communicate clearly and honor the time of others.

• We Are Lifestyle Focused. We like to say that "Lifestyle Focused" is one step farther than "story focused." "Story" has almost become a cliché in today's media landscape. Every form of media has a story, but a lifestyle is more about the actual real people living that story every day; that is our focus.

• We Always Love People First. This is not complicated, and we don't try to make it complicated. The core behind everything else that we do is that people are always number one. Nothing we will ever do will come before people. Every brand, client, team member, or anyone else we work with, will always come before any product, service, or paycheck.

• We Are Willing To Challenge. Challenging is more than any one particular thing; it is about growing as humans. We want to challenge our skills, storytelling, and worldviews, and not just add to the noise of the media landscape.

This IS NOT THE PLACE For You, If you:

• Prefer a Strict 9 to 5. You will be paid for every second you work but if you are looking for a cubical to clock into, then this is not for you.

• Lack Passion: We're dedicated to our craft, our clients, and our company. Apathy has no place here; you have to care to work here.

• Struggle with People. We work with people 100% of the time. Whether it is clients, contractors, or staff, we are having to deal with people and if the concept of doing people-focused work makes you sick, please don’t apply.

• Can’t Meet Deadlines. NN is a startup and everyone is dependent on the work others do, so if you are unable to or uninterested in managing your time to meet the necessary deadlines this will not be a good fit.

• Communicate Poorly. Communication is the backbone of everything we do at NN. If you aren’t able to ask for help, communicate project statuses, or respond to messages then you will not be a fit at NN

03 - WHY THIS ROLES MATTER

Narrative Now is a mission-driven storytelling and social-enterprise studio with several brands under one umbrella. Our CEO steers multiple creative, impact-oriented ventures at once; your work will be as a generalist—equal parts fixer, translator, organizer, researcher, and communicator—who can drop into almost any task, learn at lightspeed, and make order from chaos. If you thrive on variety and love turning “I’ve never done that before” into “Done—what’s next?” you’ll fit right in.

• Project Coordination: Track tasks for campaigns, shoots, podcast drops, and cross-brand initiatives—organizing agendas, capturing action items, and following up so deadlines are always met.

• Research & Reporting: Rapidly gather data on industry trends, prospective partners, vendors, and tools; distill findings into bite-sized briefs, slide decks, or one-pagers to inform strategic decisions.

• Client & Vendor Interaction: Act as a friendly point of contact for LM’s clients and contractors—fielding inquiries, scheduling sessions, and relaying critical information to keep relationships thriving.

• Office & Event Logistics: Arrange travel, on-site shoots, team off-sites, and client visits; manage Lancaster office supplies and tech needs during in-office days so the workspace stays collaboration-ready.

• Organization & Knowledge Management: Maintain impeccably organized digital filing systems (contracts, brand assets, KPIs) and keep project files easy to locate, boosting team productivity.

• Culture Champion & Confidentiality: Embody LM and Narrative Now values—people-first, lifestyle-focused, excellence-driven—while safeguarding sensitive information with absolute discretion.
