Associate Trainee — Digital Marketing & Communications

Roles & Responsibilities

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.

What You’ll Learn

Through on-the-job coaching, you’ll cover:

• 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

What You’ll Do

• 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

• Monitor news sources and flag breaking news relevant to our clients

• Identify strong news angles and media opportunities

• Support ongoing media features such as columns and Q&As

• Create insightful briefing sheets to prep clients for press moments

• 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

What We’re Looking For

• 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

What You’ll Get

• 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
