ADVERT EXECUTIVE AT HUNTACLAY MEDIA | ADVERT EXECUTIVE JOBS IN LAGOS

About Company:

Huntaclay Media is a digital communications company that uses storytelling, digital PR, and data-driven advertising to help brands grow. We power audience targeting through our proprietary platform, Huntaclay AdX, and run Goodnews Naija Podcast, our impact-focused media subsidiary showcasing inspiring Nigerian stories.

Job Description:

Are you a high-energy sales professional who understands that the future of advertising is in storytelling and community? We are looking for a smart Advert Executive to drive revenue for our rapidly growing podcast and digital content platforms.

This isn't a traditional "cold-calling" role; it’s about architecting partnerships. You will be the bridge between top-tier brands and our highly engaged audience. If you are a confident pitcher who thrives on performance-based incentives and knows how to turn a "maybe" into a signed sponsorship deal, this is your chance to own a high-impact commercial territory.

Requirements:

1. Strategic Business Development

• Brand Sourcing: Proactively identify and pitch brands that align with our podcast demographics, focusing on ads, sponsorships, and custom branded content.

• Deal Closing: Move beyond the pitch to navigate negotiations and finalize advertising contracts that meet both revenue and brand goals.

• Agency Relations: Leverage existing contacts or build new bridges with media agencies and SMEs to ensure our shows are on their media buying radar.

2. Creative Partnership Alignment

• Format Synergy: Work closely with the content team to ensure brand integrations feel organic and enhance the listener experience rather than disrupting it.

• Sponsorship Innovation: Develop bespoke partnership packages—ranging from host-read ads to fully integrated branded segments—that drive high ROI for clients.

• Relationship Management: Build long-term value by managing accounts post-sale, ensuring renewal and expansion of brand partnerships.

3. Performance & Revenue Governance

• Revenue Targets: Consistently hit and exceed monthly and quarterly sales quotas.

• Pipeline Tracking: Maintain an organized system for tracking leads, conversion rates, and deal status to provide clear visibility to management.

• Performance Reporting: Track the performance of live campaigns to provide brands with the data they need to justify continued investment.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years in advertising sales, media sales, or high-level brand sponsorships.

• Industry IQ: A deep comfort level selling digital media or "content-led" products (podcasts, YouTube, influencers).

• Network: Possession of an existing "rolodex" of brand managers or agency contacts is a significant advantage.

Core Competencies

• Pitching Excellence: Exceptional verbal communication with the ability to tell a compelling story about audience engagement.

• Negotiation Skills: Ability to handle objections and close deals that maximize value for both parties.

• Target-Driven: A self-starter mentality with a hunger for performance-based bonuses and commissions.
