Our company has a new vision to create the leading model for local news in America - driving innovation in media to make every Minnesotan's life better. We're looking for dynamic leaders to help create that model. We're excited to work with people who care about journalism and democracy and are eager to re-invent one of ;our state's most trusted companies for a completely new era of growth that embraces new technologies and strategies for excellence.

    Job Summary

    The Business Development Executive will drive new business leads and grow active accounts for the Star Tribune's creative agency, Foundry425. This not only includes developing revenue from current Star Tribune accounts, but also includes prospecting and closing new business.

    A successful Business Development Executive will have a high level of expertise in creative marketing, with an emphasis in content and digital marketing. The Business Development Executive will focus efforts on identifying and executing target initiatives that will successfully grow Foundry425's book of business. The ideal candidate will have a background in agency or creative marketing firm.

    Responsibilities

    • Prospect new accounts (that have not, or currently are not working with Star Tribune) that lead with Foundry425, but that also drive large media buys.

    • Attend creative-related discovery calls with Sales representatives and report findings to Foundry425.
    • Help ensure that creative proposals are aligned with those goals.
    • Help Foundry425 with account management. While Foundry425 has historically been good at retaining customers from the creative side of the business, this person will help manage customers in more traditional way. This includes routinely checking in with portfolio and digital sellers, and by proactively checking in with clients.

    • A consultative seller that thrives in a fast paced, creative environment
    • Ability to sell wide range of products and services
    • Ability to probe and develop a comprehensive understanding of customer needs
    • Past content or digital media experience is preferred
    • Proficient in PowerPoint, Excel and Dynamics is a plus
