Unlike many sales roles, you’re not selling a “cheap marketing campaign.”

You’re selling multi-platform campaigns and sponsor ships that clients can feel proud to be part of — and that produce real visibility, branding, and community credibility.

You’ll also have the opportunity to grow into leadership responsibilities as the company expands.

· Resume

· A short intro note (why this role fits you)

• (Optional) A brief example of a campaign you’ve sold (or a category you know well)
