Job description

Springfield Rocks Media Group, a subsidiary of Saga Communications, is seeking a Full-Time Media Advisor to join our sales team in Longmeadow, MA.

"Advertising in 2026 is messy. Too many options. Too many opinions. Too many businesses wasting money because no one is actually helping them figure out what works. That\'s where we come in - and where you might, too. Springfield Rocks Media Group helps local businesses grow by making modern advertising easier to understand and easier to execute. We\'re not looking for traditional radio reps. We\'re looking for Media Advisors - people who can learn quickly, think clearly, and want a career where their ideas matter. As a Media Advisor, you\'ll work directly with local business owners, helping them reach new customers using a blend of powerful local radio and smart digital tools. You\'ll be backed by strong leadership, creative support, and a strategy that actually makes sense in today\'s world. Outside sales experience helps, but media experience is not required. If you can learn, think, and communicate clearly, we\'ll teach you the rest. What matters most is curiosity, resilience, and the desire to help real businesses solve real problems. This is a job where the effort you put in actually shows up in your paycheck - and where the work you do impacts real people in your own community." - Mike Ekblom, General Manager
