Job description

What We Do

We're transforming how the entire media ecosystem - publishers, journalists, and companies - work together. Alpha Story is a PR-tech startup backed by prominent individuals in the startup and media / marketing scene. Together with industry leaders from top PR firms, we've developed Alpha Echo, a platform which consolidates client brand analytics and campaign documents into one simple, easy to use interface for both clients and consultants to use. Our deep media partnerships have facilitated a simple marketplace for both earned and paid media, allowing us to guarantee our clients with media placements in specific publications of their choice.

On the back end, we're automating away all the repetitive and uninteresting admin work involved in trad PR, and letting PR consultants do more of what they love best - writing stories and interacting with new clients. We're moving faster than ever before in 2025, and we hope you'll join us for the ride - if even just to take a peek at what's under the hood of one of Singapore's fastest growing PR-tech startups.
