JOIN THE TEAM
WE’RE HIRING
Culture:
THEPRBAR inc. is run by 2X entrepreneur, PR & Business coach, and podcast host Lexie Smith. The entire brand is meant to be fun, approachable, credible, and celebratory. While there are high expectations for output, the work environment is otherwise very casual. Mid-day activities or “working from anywhere there is an Internet connection” is totally fine as long as the client is being attended to and the job is getting done efficiently. This will be THEPRBAR inc.’s first in-house hire, and thus the candidate will have a unique opportunity to help craft the current and future culture.
Core Brand Values
- Empowerment: Everyone who works for and with THEPRBAR should feel empowered
- Results: While the brand is fun, it’s 100% value-driven and focused on achieving results
- Knowledge: We believe that knowledge is power and one should always be a student of business and life.
- Celebration: We believe in the power of celebrating all of life’s wins, no matter how small
- Individuality: We believe in creating custom-tailored solutions that enable clients to grow authentically and sustainably in their own way. There is no ONE right way to grow.
- Kindness: Being kind is non-negotiable.
