Job description

Advertising & Marketing Sales Executive
Print Digital Content Marketing
1099 Independent Contractor | Hybrid | Peachtree Corners / Norcross Area

About Us
We’re a locally owned media company connecting businesses with the communities they serve.

Through our magazines, websites, newsletters, podcasts, social media, and content marketing services, we help local businesses build awareness, tell their story, and generate real results. Every marketing program we create is tailored to the client—we’re not interested in selling “just another ad.”

We’re growing and looking for an experienced sales professional who enjoys meeting people, building trust, and creating long-term client relationships.

This Role

If you’re happiest behind a desk sending emails, this probably isn’t the right fit.

If you enjoy being out in the community, meeting business owners, asking thoughtful questions, uncovering opportunities, and helping clients grow, we’d love to talk.

You’ll spend several days each week visiting businesses, networking, attending local events, and developing relationships throughout Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Johns Creek and the surrounding area. The rest of your time can be spent working remotely following up with prospects, preparing proposals, and staying connected with clients.

You’ll work directly with the publisher to develop customized marketing packages that may include:

• Print advertising
• Digital advertising
• Sponsored content
• Social media marketing
• Email newsletters
• Podcasts
• Content creation
• Creative marketing services

No two proposals are exactly alike.

It’s designed for someone who wants to build a strong book of business and earn based on performance. For the right person who demonstrates consistent success, there’s the opportunity to discuss a modest base or draw after the first few months.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

We’re a small company, which means your ideas matter.

You’ll have direct access to the publisher, flexibility in how you work, and the ability to help shape marketing programs that genuinely help local businesses succeed. If you’re tired of selling one-size-fits-all advertising and would rather build solutions that make sense for each client, you’ll fit in well here.
