Behind every news segment, popular sitcom or morning radio show is a team of media sales professionals working to help companies and organizations meet their business objectives and goals through media sales.


What is media sales?

A career in media sales means you are generating revenue by identifying and assisting clients with growing their businesses. Sales professionals sell advertising space distributed across many communication platforms such as television, radio and the internet. Through customized advertising or media campaign packages, media sales professionals work with a range of businesses to fulfill their clients' needs and goals. These needs and goals could include a campaign for a large regional or national brand or a local shop looking for more extensive exposure. From selling ads that air during the Super Bowl to helping a local business increase brand awareness, a career in media sales promises to be exciting and rewarding.
