Reaching new customers with solutions that actually work

If you’ve got at least 2 years sales experience and have a passion for selling solutions that actually work for your customers, then this might be the role for you…

This means we have unique data science that drives the success of our client work. It means that we steer client campaigns on to the right track and have real confidence in our ability to deliver results.

We don’t sell ads or space. We create novel, multi-channel, native advertising campaigns that make our readers want to take action and we’re looking for people to deliver them for our clients.

Here are a few of the ways that we’re different:

• Our average time on page is 6X the industry average
• We achieve 400% more conversions
• We have an almost unbelievable bounce rate of just 5.9%

About the role

This is a pure sales role where you’ll be building a robust pipeline of new business opportunities across all of the sectors we work in.

You’ll be using all of the cold outreach techniques at your disposal to identify prospective clients where we can add value, bringing to life the solutions we offer, demonstrating trust and value, and ultimately winning business.

This is a creative role where you’ll be coming up with campaign themes and ideas that suit your customer’s goals and demonstrating how this will achieve their business objectives, so you’ll have to understand marketing and the customer journey.

What you'll be doing

• Understanding our products, solutions and results
• Building a sales pipeline of qualified prospects
• Understanding customer's needs
• Performing cold outreach over the phone, email and LinkedIn
• Setting and attending meetings

• We’ll be asking you to demonstrate your skills and experience in sales and marketing during the application process
• If you have been closing deals, we’ll want to see your track record
• We’ll want to hear and see you in action – we’ll give you a pitch deck before we meet and see how you bring it to life when we meet
