Full-cycle, consultative sales expertise-from discovery and solution design through proposal development, negotiation, close, and accurate forecasting. Strong new-business development and prospecting background, with a track record of building pipeline through outbound outreach, agency relationships, and industry events. Media, advertising, and agency experience strongly preferred, with familiarity across digital advertising, branded content, sports sponsorships, and programmatic solutions. Experience using CRM and sales tools, with disciplined pipeline management and timely follow-up. Excellent verbal and presentation communication skills, business curiosity, and the ability to build credibility with clients and stakeholders.
