SickFit
Email

About us
SickFit is a veteran-owned and woman-owned compression sock company in Dallas-Fort Worth. We make socks for people who spend the day on their feet. Founder Paden Sickles spent 12 years in the Army as an Engineer Officer before starting SickFit. Paden is also a keynote speaker and hosts The Sickest Podcast, which tells the stories of people who weren’t supposed to win and exactly how they did it.

The role
You’ll get Paden and SickFit in front of the right audiences. That means pitching media, landing podcast interviews, and booking speaking gigs, panels and moderator spots. You’ll use Paden’s network and build your own. You report directly to Paden and see every result your work produces.

What you’ll do

  • Build target lists: podcasts, conferences, veteran and women’s business events, panels, local TV and news, and trade publications
  • Write and send pitches, and follow up until you get a yes or a no
  • Work warm relationships: reconnect with past contacts, ask for introductions, and turn one booking into the next
  • Track every pitch, reply and booking in a shared pipeline
  • Keep Paden’s speaker one-sheet, bio and headshots current and ready to send
  • Coordinate logistics for booked gigs: dates, travel details, AV needs, promo assets
  • Pitch SickFit stories to press: veteran-owned, woman-owned, and workwear for people on their feet
  • Send a weekly report: pitches sent, replies, bookings, coverage.
