Your Responsibilities:

Lead generation: Drive significant incremental direct advertising sales within the first year, based on comparable benchmarks.

Sales Presentations: Develop and deliver compelling sales presentations tailored to the specific needs of streaming platforms and CPG companies, showcasing how our Screen Portfolio can serve as a powerful marketing platform for their content.

Negotiation: Lead negotiations, close deals, and secure contracts with major streaming platforms and studios, effectively capturing a portion of their marketing budget for our brands.

Client Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with key decision-makers at streaming platforms, production companies, and CPG brands. Leverage your existing industry network to facilitate partnerships.

Market Knowledge: Stay informed on industry trends, competitor activity, and developments in the entertainment, pop culture, and streaming spaces. Use this knowledge to craft innovative and effective sales strategies.

Revenue Growth: Consistently meet or exceed sales targets and revenue goals, contributing to the growth and expansion of the Screen Portfolio.

Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams, including content creators, marketing, and ad operations, to ensure client campaigns are successfully executed and meet agreed-upon expectations.

Reporting: Generate regular sales reports, track performance metrics, and provide actionable insights to the management team to inform future strategies.

Experience and Skills:

Proven Sales Experience: A minimum of 2 years of successful sales experience in NYC or LA, with a track record of working with major streaming platforms (e.g., Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO), legacy studios, and CPG companies for marketing tie-ins.

Industry Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Hollywood production and streaming industry, as well as marketing and advertising trends within the entertainment sector.

Established Contacts: A well-developed network of contacts within the streaming and entertainment industry, including key decision-makers at major platforms, studios, and production companies. An existing address book of industry contacts is highly desirable.

Excellent Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate complex ideas effectively to different stakeholders.

Self-Motivated: A self-starter with a proactive approach to sales and a drive to achieve and exceed targets, who can independently lead business development initiatives.
