Capsul is Hiring an Experienced PR Professional
This is a short-term, results-based contract with potential to grow into an ongoing role.
⚠️ Requirements — Read Carefully Before Applying:
- Minimum 5 years of PR or journalism experience with verifiable placements
- You must have already placed stories in Tier 1 or Tier 2 outlets — live links required
- Earned media only. Guest posts, contributor articles, sponsored content, and pay-to-play placements do NOT count. If your portfolio is built on "Forbes Contributor" or similar guest contributions, please do not apply.
- We're looking for a real PR professional or working journalist with genuine editorial relationships — not someone who buys or self-publishes placements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Crafts sharp pitches and compelling brand narratives
