This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

NYC: Publisher Sales Account Executive by irishnyer

Groundbreaking Digital Innovator
New York, NY
Direct Hire

This game-changing digital startup (funded by a global media corporation) is seeking a Business Development/Sales Executive who can manage strategic partnerships among a rapidly growing group of Fortune 1000 clients.
Do you have the confidence and ambition to deal with the most successful brands in media? If so, this could be the ground-floor opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Nitty Gritty
This company has perfected a proprietary technology at the tech/social/news intersection that will shape the future of media for decades to come. Now, they’re on the cusp of massive growth and are looking for a technically savvy business strategist with strong sales chops who can set the pace and drive the company forward. This isn’t a risky, shoestring startup. It’s backed by the faith and resources of a media empire that thinks this company is a game-changer.
Are you a deal-maker and a team leader? Can you take on an independent command, build an organization and be the driving force for growth? This is your chance to own the entire sales process: you’ll craft the story and approach to position the entire company in the marketplace. As you grow, you’ll build a team to support your efforts and manage your clients. And you’ll be in a position to influence product development to support your clients’ needs.

Hired Gun Profile
This is a unique technology that every media company and every Fortune 1000 brand will be lining up for. But this is not an ad sales, ad tech, ad solutions or “ad” anything gig. You are technically savvy, with the ability to craft a story and bring in business. Top guns will be sales veterans with experience selling to media companies and killer presentation skills are gold. You’ll be working with executives and product leaders across the pond, so your communication skills need to be beyond excellent.

Inside Skinny
This is a front-line position dealing with the top names in the media business — success means making deals. Winners will quickly rise to the top of the organization.

Net Net
This is a big opportunity for closers who have always wanted to lead a swat team operating independently of the mother ship.
