We need someone who picks up the phone. Shows up in person. Builds relationships without being asked twice.

"If call reluctance is a thing for you, this isn't the role. If it's not — keep reading."

This role is built for someone who genuinely enjoys the hunt — prospecting, cold calling, walking into businesses, and starting conversations that turn into long-term client relationships.

  • Identify and develop new advertising clients across print and digital platforms
  • Present and sell integrated media packages to local businesses
  • Manage your pipeline and hit revenue goals consistently
  • Coordinate with our editorial and design teams to ensure campaigns perform
  • Show up at community events and represent CMC in the market
  • Proven sales track record — you can point to results
  • Comfort with digital marketing, geofencing, programmatic, and social media advertising
  • Strong communicator who can present confidently and negotiate effectively
  • Ability to work independently — this is not a hand-holding environment
  • Familiarity with publishing, media, or local advertising markets is a plus
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or equivalent experience
  • Valid driver's license — you'll be in the field regularly
