Advertising/Sales Director — Job Listing

News isn’t dying, it just needs a better model.

We are looking for someone who is a creative and detail-oriented individual who wants to grow with us, who sees opportunity in both legacy items like print advertising while developing and selling new ideas and products for both print and digital channels.

- Write advertising copy for various multimedia channels such as print, digital, podcasts, and/or video.
- Manage and update advertising records for accurate delivery of print and/or digital products.
- Track, reach and report on sales goal activity.
- Assist clients.
- Plan for both short and long term goals reach PULP’s growth goals.
- Assist in developing PULP in-house branding and sales materials for better client relationships.
- The ability to develop a team, direct staff, and manage sales positions to grow advertising and brand partnerships.
