Successful Account Executives with or without advertising radio sales experience will be trained and developed using real-world sales training methods. All our focus and client activity is on the local market we serve with rare overnight travel.

The primary role of the Account Executive is to meet daily with local or regional businesses to ascertain their business goals and challenges and then offer, present, and close effective advertising and marketing solutions using the local stations’ broadcast, digital, and event sponsorship programs. Our proven and sustaining local advertising programs are designed to increase client market share and revenue.

The Account executive position requires excellent verbal and written communications skills as well as a persuasive personal style that creates trust and confidence when meeting new prospects.
