Join Publisher Collective!
Publisher Collective is a strategic advertising partner, meaning we connect website publishers with advertisers who want to reach their audiences. Instead of publishers having to find advertisers on their own, we handle the technology, demand, optimisation, and relationships - making it easy for publishers to earn revenue while ensuring advertisers reach real, engaged communities.
The role
We have two exceptional opportunities for an ambitious person to sell advertising, digital media and digital multimedia to brands and agencies. This role is dedicated to growing revenue within the Publisher Collective commercial team across various categories including Internet services and Internet security, Consumer Hardware, Financial services/investments and Holidays/Travel.
This role involves charting growth from the existing Agency client base and developing new business relationships. This is achieved by building relationships with media planning and buying teams, generating briefs/RFPs, understanding Agency client opportunities, and determining the relevant transaction type.
Responsibilities include managing and organising commercial partnerships with both relevant agency partners and direct clients that have in-house media buying teams. This involves leading the process of partnership conversion and delivery with innovative and relevant strategies.
You will require both excellent communication and presentation skills both internally and externally to increase the visibility of Publisher Collective as an ad network with collective intelligence and performance without compromise.

* Present and sell Publisher Collective audiences to new and existing Agency advertising buyers/planners/marketers and in-house client media buying teams

* Daily maintenance of reporting/CRM tools to update sales management on account activity
* Provide revenue forecasting projection reports on a weekly basis
