Job description

Screenvision Media is a premier cinema, video, and media organization that curates powerful and uncluttered storytelling for brands, exhibitors, and audiences at movie theatres nationwide. Our goal is to create engaging, technology forward media solutions for all of our partners, both big and small. We take pride in a culture that values creativity, collaboration, and a passion for the distinct magic of the moviegoing experience, unrivaled in its impact and engagement.

Title

Account Executive

Company Overview

Screenvision provides cinema marketing solutions to its advertising clients through on-screen sight, sound and motion (Cinema Spots), still image advertising (Cinema Slides) and in-theater promotional opportunities (Cinema Extensions). Nationally, Screenvision is the largest cinema network, exclusively providing Cinema Spots to advertisers on more than half of the nation's available movie screens. On the regional level, the company's Screenvision Direct business unit offers Cinema Slide and promotional opportunities to small and mid-sized businesses in local markets around the country.

The Opportunity

Cinema is having a moment. Moviegoing is one of the last truly shared experiences left. A full-attention, big-screen, phones-down environment no other medium can replicate. The audience filling those seats is young, diverse and culturally plugged-in: the moviegoers who decide what breaks next in film, music, fashion and fandom. Screenvision Media connects brands to that audience across a national network of theatres, and this role puts you at the center of it. You will join a dynamic, entrepreneurial team that sits at the forefront of youth culture and entertainment. One that moves fast, sells creatively, and is helping shape what the next era of cinema advertising looks like. If you want to sell something people genuinely love, this is it.

Position Summary

The Account Executive is responsible for establishing and maintaining strong relationships with brands and agencies, client direct as well as across the strategy teams and video investment groups. This position maintains a book of business while prospecting new business, effectively positions Screenvision’s benefits to brands, builds integrated media programs from concept through sale, and orchestrates internal organizational resources to effectively deliver on all terms of contracts.
