Account Manager, Talent & Influencer Integration

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is proud to represent clients across many industries including entertainment, social good, tech and lifestyle and we tell their stories through a variety of mediums. We’re proud of each and every campaign we execute, but you may be wondering why we don’t have more than a landing page as our website. While many of our clients are household names, our digital footprint is purposefully small. We fly under the radar and we like it that way. If you are fired up and ready to do good, join us!
