The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Advertising Sales team in our Norwich office as Client Account Manager for Moneyfacts Magazine which has been published since 1988.
We are looking for a dynamic advertising salesperson with a proven track record in sales to take advertising and awards revenue to the next level.
You will be a tenacious, salesperson with a ‘can-do’ attitude. Always positive, you will relish the opportunity to own and grow your advertising portfolio, and you will be driven by success. You won’t be happy to see house ads in a magazine when you could be earning money from a paid advert!
You will love seeking out new opportunities, exploring, and developing relationships with existing and new advertising clients. Your clients and targets are the UK’s banks, building societies and financial companies. The Moneyfacts brand helps open doors, but you’ll need to be enthusiastic and think “outside of the box” to seek out and target advertising roles from Media Executives to Marketing Directors.
As well as being a team player you will be self-sufficient and be focussed on selling a whole range of print-based advertising space in a monthly subscription magazine as well as email marketing and awards sponsorships, awards table and seats and post-award logo packages.
You’ll also sell short-term Product Ratings logos to banks and building societies where our Data Experts have rated their products Best Buy, Excellent or Outstanding.
Moneyfacts as a company, is small enough to be friendly and fun, but large enough to be innovative and challenging. If you’re the type of person who would fit well with this ethos, we would like to hear from you.
This exciting role provides the opportunity to earn an excellent, substantial sales bonus on top of your basic salary.
