Associate Trainee — Digital Marketing & Communications

The Opportunity

If your social feed reads like an editorial mood board — fashion, beauty, wellness, design, tech and a healthy obsession with what’s next — keep reading.

Access Communications is on the lookout for bright, media-savvy graduates to join us as Associate Trainees in our Singapore office. Think of this as your real-world MBA in boutique PR, marketing and events — minus the textbooks, plus the launches, campaigns and brand moments you’ve been watching from the outside.

• Life at a boutique communications agency, from the inside
• PR and social media fundamentals — what works, what doesn’t, and why
• Writing skills, content generation and storytelling for brands
• Working with media, influencers, vendors and partners
• Management and interpersonal skills you’ll use for the rest of your career
• Creative and commercial awareness — how ideas turn into business
• Team leadership and how to take ownership of an account
• Presenting an Access Communications new-business pitch

• Plan and execute campaigns alongside the account executives
• Use traditional and digital tools (Facebook, Instagram, online resources) to support the team
• Research and identify the right reporters, journalists and news contacts
• Build and maintain relationships with media and key community stakeholders

• Organise media interviews and briefings
• Help coordinate press tours, events and review programmes
• Draft press materials and compelling content across traditional and digital channels
• Track, measure and report on media relations activity

• A recent graduate (or final-year student) with genuine interest in arts, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, tech and social media
• Independent, resourceful, observant — comfortable figuring things out
• Positive energy, great attitude, and a strong work ethic
• Comfortable juggling research, writing and admin in the same afternoon

• Real ownership from day one — not coffee runs and photocopying
• Exposure to global lifestyle, luxury and consumer brands
• Direct mentorship from senior PR and marketing practitioners
• A small, collaborative team where your work is visible
• Strong potential for a full-time Junior Associate offer (with revised package) on successful completion
