Account Executive - Video Ad & Media Sales

Peoplevolve is helping a client hire an Account Executive with a focus on video advertising & media sales.

They are seeking an Account Executive to lead business development and account management for their growing video production team. The ideal candidate has a proven track record in media and advertising sales, understands the broadcast landscape, and excels at connecting clients with solutions.

You’ll work alongside a talented group of video creatives, marketing pros, and digital strategists to deliver exceptional client outcomes. This is a hybrid role; once the person hired is fully onboarded they will spend a mix of time either in office or meeting with clients.

You’ll take the lead on:

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities across industries with a focus on companies investing in brand, advertising, and communications.
• Seek out new business and serve as account manager—handling everything from discovery calls and proposals to ongoing client communications.
• Recommend video-first strategies that may include commercial campaigns, branded content, corporate storytelling, and more.
• Maintain a healthy and active sales pipeline via the CRM (HubSpot) with regular reporting and KPI tracking.
• Provide consultative insights that position you as more than a vendor, but also a creative partner.
• Collaborate closely with the Executive Producer to align creative concepts with client goals and budgets.
• Leverage existing broadcast/TV advertising sales experience to establish new client relationships and revive dormant accounts.

• 3 years of experience in media/advertising sales, preferably with a focus on broadcast television or traditional media
• A client-first mindset- your goal is to solve real business problems, not just pitch products
• Comfortable working independently but energized by team collaboration
• Familiarity with video production processes and timelines
• Proven ability to manage deals from outreach to close, and maintain long-term relationships
• Strong communication and presentation skills—you’re confident, persuasive, and a great listener

Who this role is NOT for:

• Someone who only wants to manage existing accounts—we’re looking for someone who loves prospecting and building
• Someone who’s uncomfortable working across creative and strategic conversations
• Anyone unfamiliar with or uninterested in the power of video as a marketing and branding tool
• Anyone who needs a rigid corporate structure—we offer support, but not micromanagement
