About BDA
BDA's sellers run merchandise programs for big brands and sports properties: promotional products, premium gifts, uniforms, limited-edition collectibles and licensed goods for retail, designed, sourced and shipped by the agency on behalf of the client's marketing team. Nearly every opening is a farmer's seat on existing enterprise accounts, with a written plan per client, quarterly and account business reviews and goals on both sales and gross margin, and the ladder runs from client service coordinator through account manager, senior account manager and national account director to directors who lead teams over portfolios of $10 million and more. Books are often cut by industry: an adult beverage account in Dallas with one to two days a week at the client's site, kids and family lines in Atlanta, and six sports seats, among them sponsorship programs in Atlanta, European club football from Paris, an EMEA partnerships director in the UK and an account director in Bavaria who sells NBA-licensed bags, accessories and home goods into retailers such as Kaufland, Carrefour and MediaMarkt. Of its 19 sales-titled openings, 13 are in the US (4 based in Atlanta, the rest in Woodinville, Indianapolis, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles and New York, the last at its Harper + Scott unit), 2 in Waterloo, Ontario and 4 in Europe. Two of the US count do not carry a book: a senior licensing manager who runs licensor approvals and royalty reporting, and a standing pool posting for future account managers that is tied to no open seat.
