Do you love the thrill of landing a new client? Are you energized by prospecting, building relationships, and turning opportunities into revenue? If you're a competitive sales professional who loves the challenge of winning new business, we want to meet you!

We're looking for a driven, entrepreneurial Digital Account Executive to grow our digital marketing business by bringing innovative advertising solutions to local businesses.

You don't have to be a digital marketing expert to succeed here. We're looking for a proven sales professional with a hunter mentality, strong business development skills, and the desire to win.

  • Open Doors & Build Relationships: Connect with business owners, marketing decision makers, and key influencers to uncover opportunities and establish new partnerships.
  • Sell Solutions, Not Products: Learn about each prospect's business goals and challenges, then present customized digital marketing solutions that deliver value.
  • Win New Accounts: Lead sales presentations, develop proposals, negotiate, and close new business.
  • Grow Revenue: Consistently achieve and exceed new business revenue goals and sales activity targets.
  • Build Your Pipeline: Maintain a strong pipeline of qualified prospects and manage opportunities from initial contact through closing.
  • Become a Trusted Advisor: Stay informed about digital marketing trends and industry developments to bring fresh ideas and solutions to prospective clients.

What Makes You a Great Fit?
