About The Position

We’re looking for a Sales Executive with a strong track record of driving revenue through relationship‑based, consultative selling. This role is well suited for someone who excels at understanding a client’s business goals, identifying growth opportunities, and translating them into effective marketing or partnership solutions—regardless of whether your background is strictly in media or digital advertising. You don’t need to come from a traditional media sales path to be successful here. If you’ve built and grown accounts, opened new business, and led strategic conversations with clients in industries such as sales, marketing, partnerships, technology, or services, we’re interested. In this role, you’ll prospect and develop new accounts, expand existing relationships, and deliver thoughtful, results‑focused proposals using our robust portfolio of marketing solutions. You’ll regularly meet with clients face‑to‑face (or virtually), lead presentations and proposals, and work closely with internal teams to execute campaigns that help local businesses grow. Success in this role comes from curiosity, strong communication skills, and the ability to learn and apply new products—not from having “checked every media box” on day one. The Sales Executive at LOCALiQ is responsible for driving advertising revenue by developing and maintaining strong client relationships, managing advertising campaigns across multiple platforms, and collaborating with internal teams to ensure client success. In other words, you become a local expert helping local and regional businesses grow and market their business better.
