About Axios
Axios, majority-owned by Cox Enterprises, earns from labeled ads in its newsletters, site, podcasts and app, sponsored events, Axios Pro industry subscriptions, branded content made by its Smart Brevity Studio, and paid job and event listings. Selling sits in Client Partnerships, with a separate Client Success team that runs campaigns after the contract, and the current openings split between Washington issue advertising and the Axios Local city newsletters, of which its site lists more than 40 editions. Four of the 7 sales postings are local: account executives in Denver and Miami, hired as market builders who bring their own network, start with no house accounts and run a high-volume pipeline of $5,000 to $15,000 deals with restaurants, health systems, law firms, real estate firms and dealerships, plus two remote account managers, one owning post-sale campaigns, media plans and renewals, the other running Local Marketplace, a semi-service listings product for smaller Charlotte advertisers. In D.C., a director and an associate director hunt budgets from advocacy groups, associations, nonprofits and their agencies (7 and 5 years of experience asked), and a business development associate prospects and organizes inbound interest for the core media team.
