Job description

Apple Valley News Now (ABC) + Phase 3 Digital

What if your next job let you help local businesses grow—and bring their stories to life on TV, streaming and digital platforms?

At Apple Valley News Now and Phase 3 Digital, you’ll help businesses across the Yakima and Tri-Cities connect with customers through streaming TV, digital advertising, social media and, when it fits, traditional television. One day you might be learning what makes a neighborhood business stand out; the next, you’re brainstorming a campaign that brings its story to life. You’ll have plenty of variety, room to build relationships and the satisfaction of seeing local ideas make it into the world.

You can be based in our Yakima or Kennewick office.

What You’ll Do

• Get to know local businesses, ask smart questions and uncover what they want to achieve.
• Develop new client relationships and grow existing ones through thoughtful follow-through.
• Build and present advertising ideas across connected TV/streaming, digital video, display, social and other media solutions that fit each client’s goals.
• Work with creative, digital and sales colleagues to launch campaigns, review results and find ways to improve them.
• Keep learning as audiences, platforms and marketing tools change.
• Own your pipeline and work toward sales goals.

Who Could Thrive Here

You might come from advertising sales—but you don’t have to. If you’ve built trust, won business or helped customers make decisions in another field, we want to hear from you. That could mean business development, hospitality, retail, real estate, recruiting or another relationship-driven role.

You’re curious about how businesses grow, comfortable starting conversations, organized enough to follow through and excited to turn a client’s challenge into a compelling idea. You can explain your thinking clearly and enjoy learning new tools. Experience selling connected TV or digital advertising is valuable, not required to start the conversation. Experience with traditional TV advertising is welcome, not required.

Why media? Why us?

Media keeps changing—and that’s part of the fun. You can pair the reach of an established local ABC brand that has partnerships with the Seattle Kraken and Seattle Mariners along with digital and streaming options, bring creative people into the conversation and help businesses show up where their customers are. It’s a career built on relationships, ideas and learning, with support to grow your media and digital sales skills.

Compensation And Benefits

• Posted compensation range: $45,000–$100,000 per year, including supplemental pay such as commission. Actual earnings vary; commissions are uncapped.
• Monthly cell phone and gas allowances.
• Medical, dental, vision and life insurance.
• Paid time off; sick, vacation, holidays and a 401(k) with company match.
