Mediaplanet Publishing House
Vancouver, BC
Full-Time

Mediaplanet was founded in Stockholm in 2002 by two Swedish entrepreneurs, Richard Båge and Rustan Panda. Today we operate from 27 offices in 15 countries, on two continents boasting around 300 employees of more than 20 nationalities and Mediaplanet Publishing House is growing by the minute. We are looking for educated, well rounded, enthusiastic, entrepreneurial and ambitious candidates.

 

As part of our team, you'll:
• Be responsible for an entire special section on a specific industry/issue/topic.

• We are partnered with the world's largest newspapers and in Vancouver we use the Vancouver Sun, The Province and The Calgary Herald as distribution partners.
• Manage your own leads and drive the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing deals.

• Through idea generation and talking to the industry, you will make a high volume (40+) of outbound calls to build relationships and attract advertisers.

This is not an AD sales job! We perform concept selling and we are looking for intelligent, savvy, business focused people.
• You are responsible for coordinating our pool of journalists and graphic design team in creating a special section. Currently, some examples we are publishing for Q4 of 2011 are; Natural Gas, B.C. Construction, Alberta Transportation, Travel B.C., The Future of Labour, Waste Management and Mining.
• Make national and provincial business clients more successful with the most effective print advertising opportunities available. This company is successful in every market we're in, and we are experiencing fast and exciting results in Vancouver.

We offer our employees solid base salaries; extensive training and a competitive compensation plan that provides key success factors:
• Competitive, yet consistent compensation not normally associated with sales positions; plus a stable base salary- you won't stress about your income fluctuating each month.
• A structured professional development program that provides a clear path to increased responsibility, career advancement, and of course, more money!
• After an initial 90-day training period, Mediaplanet offers competitive and comprehensive benefits and ongoing professional development.

Think you have what it takes? Well, here's what we're looking for in promising applicants:
• You are social by nature and great with people.
• Strong work ethic
• Positive attitude passion for what we're doing as a company
