The Company

A mid‑sized, fast‑growing, aspirational and innovative global media group which has won numerous industry awards and owns a leading portfolio of products spanning all platforms. They are a dynamic and friendly group of entrepreneurs who are launching new revenue lines all the time and they have a proud legacy of training and developing talent. They have a sociable and relaxed culture and look for individuals who will fit into that environment. Due to their continued expansion they are looking for a Business Development Manager to sell commercial opportunities across their entire portfolio.

The role of Business Development Manager

As Business Development Manager you will target the marketing departments of UK west‑end and independent agencies, US and international agencies. Many leading advertising agencies use our portfolio to promote their own work, innovations and achievements to prospect new clients. Therefore the purpose of your role is to sell them relevant multi‑platform digital and print advertising/content solutions. You will not be selling to the planners and buyers or targeting their client’s campaigns as the agency team manages that.

You will be a consultative sales professional and a naturally strong networker who can translate an agency’s objectives into relevant commercial solutions. You will have a sociable and outgoing personality which allows you to easily build strong relationships. You will look after existing clients as well as driving new business (which will be around 70% of the role). You will also be out of the office regularly meeting prospective clients.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years media sales experience
• Mature and consultative approach
• Stable career history

If you think that you could be the Business Development Manager that we are looking for, please send us your CV and a consultant from Media IQ Recruitment will be in touch.
