PR consultant with expertise in media relations and communications.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated PR consultant with extensive experience in media relations and editorial performance, specializing in both Korean and English communications. My journey began at Kookmin University, where I earned my BA in Political Science and International Relations, which laid the foundation for my understanding of social and cultural subjects on an international level.
Currently, I work at Edge Communications, where I manage localized media communications in South Korea, focusing on sectors such as ICT, mobile payments, and defense. My role involves media relations management through various channels, including paid-advertorials and interviews, while also assisting in PR projects related to international trade and commerce. Previously, I served as the International Press Distribution Manager at Korea Newswire, where I honed my skills in translation, editorial revisions, and press release distribution.
