Account Manager, Fashion

About AZIONE

AZIONE is not a traditional PR agency. We operate at the intersection of culture, media, and brand, building relevance, not just awareness. Across fashion, retail, lifestyle, and contemporary design, we help brands shape conversation, enter culture, and drive measurable business impact through strategic storytelling, media relations, partnerships, experiential activations, influencer, and cultural positioning.

Job Description

We’re looking for an Account Manager to join AZIONE’s Fashion Division on the Media + Brand team, supporting a portfolio of consumer fashion, retail, and contemporary designer accounts. This is not a traditional publicity role. It’s a strategic, culturally plugged-in position for someone who understands how fashion brands build relevance today across media, retail, celebrity, partnerships, and consumer conversation.

You should have a strong pulse on the evolving fashion and media landscape, from luxury and contemporary fashion to retail disruption, creator influence, and cultural storytelling. You know how to translate a brand’s product, founder story, business growth, or campaign into meaningful editorial opportunities and culturally resonant moments.

You understand the modern media ecosystem across:

• Fashion + retail media
• Business + consumer press
• Thought leadership & Founder positioning
• Cultural relevance + commercial impact

You don’t simply react to trends, you anticipate where the conversation is headed and position brands at the center of it.
