Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery builds training content that helps AI models handle media strategy, public relations, and brand positioning tasks. You will write questions and case studies that put those models through real communications scenarios, then review their answers for accuracy and industry fit. The contract is remote and runs about 20 hours each week, with schedule control and asynchronous collaboration. Your work informs how AI systems reason about message development, audience targeting, crisis management, and stakeholder engagement.
What You'll Do6
- 1Create media and communications questions plus case studies that push AI models on message development, audience targeting, media planning, crisis management, content creation, brand positioning, and stakeholder engagement.
- 2Design scenarios that reflect broadcast, digital, print, and social media contexts, then set a difficulty level that fits the training goal.
- 3Evaluate model responses against accepted communications practice and industry standards.
- 4Write detailed feedback that identifies errors, gaps, and weak strategic reasoning in each answer.
- 5Work with communications and technical teammates to adjust question difficulty and keep content challenging and educational.
- 6Review and validate model outputs so the training data meets accuracy and quality benchmarks.
Requirements8
- 1Bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, Public Relations, Media Studies, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 2Demonstrated work in media production, communications strategy, public relations, or journalism.
- 3Strong grasp of media platforms and communication channels, including how each shapes audience response.
- 4Excellent analytical, writing, and verbal skills with close attention to detail.
- 5Several years in media or communications roles across formats such as broadcast, digital, print, and social media.

- 7Experience with crisis communications, brand management, content strategy, or media relations.
- 8Familiarity with AI or technology-driven media and communications tools.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate brings a bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, public relations, media studies, or a similar field, plus hands-on work in media production or communications strategy. You have reviewed messaging across broadcast, digital, print, and social channels and can spot where an AI answer misses audience needs or industry norms. People with backgrounds in crisis communications, brand management, content strategy, or media relations tend to thrive here, while the role fits less well if you lack formal communications experience or cannot explain why a campaign choice works. Candidates often score low when they submit general writing samples instead of case studies that show strategic judgment. Another common rejection reason is a resume that lists platforms without proving depth in message development, audience targeting, or media planning.
