About Us
We help media professionals understand how AI is transforming the industry through our newsletter, podcast, and educational courses. Our audience includes thousands of journalists, media executives, PR folks, and other media leaders who rely on us for insights and practical guidance.
We're growing into a sizable and engaged audience, with over 12,000 subscribers to our newsletter, 60K+ social media followers, and a track record of successful partnerships with major brands, including Adobe.
About the Work
We have valuable ad inventory and leads, but lack the time and expertise to build a steady ad sales pipeline. We're looking for a fractional Sales Lead who can set our ad sales strategy and execute it directly to drive new revenue.
Specifically, you'll:
- Assess our current ad sales process and recommend improvements
- Develop and own a targeted outreach strategy for potential advertisers
- Qualify and follow up on leads from our network, inbox, and events
- Manage the full sales cycle, from first contact to closing deals
- Advise on pricing and packaging of newsletter, podcast, and website inventory
- Build and refine our sales pitch and media kit as needed
We're expecting this role to require about 10 hrs / week of work, with a base retainer of $2.5K - $3K / month, and a commission structure that, if successful, would bring total compensation to $5K - $7K or more per month.
About You
You MUST have:
- Significant ad sales expertise, you can set up the strategy and do the execution work all on your own
- This is a hands-on role. If you prefer to play a more strategic/advisory role, we won't be the right fit for you
- Significant media industry experience - you've sold ads that reach an audience of media/PR professionals, or for media industry publications, etc.
- Newsletter and/or podcast ads experience
- Based anywhere in the world but offer time zone overlap with Eastern Time
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience managing affiliate programs
