An independently owned media company that is dynamic, locally focused and connects communities through the power of radio, digital platforms, and live events is looking for an Account Executive. With a strong portfolio of radio stations, a digital advertising platform, and community-driven initiatives, they have built a reputation as a trusted partner for businesses looking to reach and engage their audience in meaningful ways.
As an Account Executive, you will play a key role in driving revenue growth while helping local businesses thrive. You’ll be responsible for developing, selling, and managing cross-platform advertising campaigns across radio, digital, and event sponsorships. This is a client-facing role where relationship building, creativity, and strategic thinking are just as important as sales expertise.
They believe in the power of connection—between the stations and listeners, their clients and customers, and their teams and the communities they serve. You’ll be part of a collaborative, energetic team with the resources of a leading local media company, but the entrepreneurial spirit to create and grow new opportunities. They celebrate creativity, reward performance, and provide the tools and training you need to succeed.
Key Responsibilities:
- Consistently identify and develop new business opportunities to generate revenue across radio, digital media, and event sponsorships.
- Re-engage inactive or former clients to create new streams of revenue.

- Create and present compelling, customized advertising proposals and campaign strategies.
- Collaborate with clients to develop fresh advertising ideas and write engaging creative copy.
- Coordinate, organize, and execute promotional campaigns and sponsorship activations.

- Act as a trusted advisor to clients by providing insights and recommendations on media strategy.
- Build and maintain long-term client relationships through regular in-person meetings and consistent communication.
- Represent the company at community events, client functions, and station promotions to strengthen our presence and relationships.
- Assist with commercial production and promotional activities as needed.
Qualifications (including but not limited to):
- Proven success in outside sales, preferably in media or digital.
- Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills and the ability to thrive in fast-paced environment.
- Self-starter with the ability to prospect, close deals, and manage client accounts independently.
