Job Summary/Description:
Are you a hunter who hates the word "no"? Do you look at local businesses and see a story waiting to be told-and a digital strategy waiting to be launched? We're looking for a Media Executive to join our team. This isn't just about selling "commercials"; it's about becoming a strategic partner for local businesses, helping them dominate their market across every screen from TV to TikTok, including Streaming TV, Streaming Audio, Paid Search, Email, Social, SEM, SEO, and Digital Out of Home.
Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Own your territory: Identify, prospect, and close new business across South Texas with a relentless "hunter" mentality.
• Craft multi-platform solutions: Build custom marketing campaigns that blend the massive reach of KGNS+ with the precision of our cutting-edge digital suite (OTT, SEO, Social, and more).
• Be a consultant, not a vendor: Deep-dive into your clients' business goals to uncover their real "pain points" and solve them with data-driven strategies.
• Drive real ROI: Manage your accounts from start to finish, ensuring every campaign delivers results that make your clients say, "let's do it again."
• Master the art of the pivot: Navigate tough negotiations with confidence, focusing on the value of our trusted local brand rather than just the lowest price.
• Collaborate with the pros: Work alongside our creative and digital teams to bring your clients' visions to life with high-impact production.
Qualifications/Requirements:
• A "scrappy" work ethic: You're self-motivated, high-energy, and you don't wait for leads to come to you-you go find them.
• Digital DNA: You understand the digital landscape and can explain the "why" behind an OTT or social media campaign as easily as a 30-second spot.
• Killer communication skills: You can command a room, write a compelling pitch, and-most importantly-you're a world-class listener.
• Negotiation chops: You know how to hold your ground on value and find the "win-win" that builds long-term partnerships.
• Resilience: You handle "no" with a smile because you know it's just a detour on the way to "yes."
