You would be selling client‑centric bespoke campaigns which may include digital advertising, conference sponsorship, content solutions, webinars, bespoke events and more. Clients span tech, finance, engineering, telecoms, transportation, governance, mobility, energy, environment and more (their clients include the likes of Microsoft, CISCO, VISA, AWS, Nokia, Dell, Intel).
