Publicist / Media Relations Specialist

Organization: JakeyMac Foundation

Location: Remote / Global

There is a quiet crisis stealing the minds of an entire generation, and almost everyone is looking the other way.

Right now, tech companies are spending billions of dollars optimizing algorithms designed to do one thing: hook children to screens. They are engineered for addiction. The result? A massive surge in youth mental health struggles, short attention spans, and an unprecedented rise in online child exploitation.

Parents feel helpless. The system is broken.

But while others complain, a 14-year-old entrepreneur named Jake McArthur did something about it. He founded the JakeyMac Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to taking back childhood. We’ve built SmartFast—a high-retention, screen-free, gamified audio education app that turns learning into an immersive adventure without a single pixel of screen time. We are empowering the Moms Fight Back movement to protect kids, fight tech-driven exploitation, and give parents their children back.

We have the technology. We have the viral blueprint. We have the mission.

What we lack is the megaphone. That is where you come in.

The Opportunity: Your Masterpiece Campaign

We aren't looking for someone to draft standard, boring corporate press releases that get buried in an inbox. We are looking for a Strategic Storyteller and Publicist who views media placement as a chess game.

Your ultimate mission? Help us pitch, angle, and land major national features—up to and including powerhouse platforms like The Oprah Podcast and top-tier national news outlets.

You will own our narrative. You will translate our cause into high-stakes, irresistible hooks that journalists cannot ignore. You will turn a grassroots non-profit into a household name.

Who You Are (The Core Convictions)

• • The Attention Architect: You don't just email reporters; you understand exactly what makes a story viral. You know how to tie a non-profit’s mission to breaking cultural trends, youth protection, and technology news.
  • The Ultimate Connector: You have an active, trusted network of journalists, producers, and influencers across parenting, tech, education, and national news.
  • The Maverick Operator: You don’t need hand-holding. You operate with urgency, precision, and an entrepreneurial spirit. You understand how to market an early-stage startup non-profit with limited initial resources but massive viral potential.
  • Mission-Driven: You are genuinely angered by what screen addiction is doing to kids, and you want to use your professional superpower to fight back.

Key Responsibilities

• • Craft Irresistible Hooks: Develop cutting-edge, high-concept media angles that position the JakeyMac Foundation, SmartFast, and founder Jake McArthur at the center of the screen-addiction debate.
  • Targeted Media Outreach: Pitch and secure high-impact features, interviews, and guest spots on major podcasts, TV networks, digital publications, and print media.
  • Movement Building: Align our PR strategy directly with the Moms Fight Back movement to maximize organic, grassroots public relations and community advocacy.
  • Strategic Counsel: Work directly with foundation leadership to build a robust, scalable media kit and press room.

What We Offer

• • Absolute Autonomy: No bureaucratic red tape. If your idea is brilliant and moves the needle, we execute it immediately.
  • Unmatched Purpose: Your daily work directly protects children from exploitation and screen dependency.
  • Flexible Engagement: We care entirely about results, not hours logged.

How to Apply—The Filter

If you want to send a templated resume and a standard cover letter, please don't. We will filter it out immediately.

Instead, send us a brief message detailing:

1. 1. The Hook: A 3-sentence pitch on how you would position a 14-year-old non-profit founder fighting screen addiction to a major national producer (like Oprah's team).
   2. The Proof: Two examples of non-traditional or high-impact media placements you’ve personally secured.
   3. Your Terms: Your preferred engagement structure – we are a startup so (Volunteer, into Fractional, Retainer is what we are seeking).
