WHO WE ARE:

The Davis Media Company is an innovative publishing company that partners with non-profit organizations across North America to deliver industry-leading print and online communications.

We are a leading print and digital media company focusing on the heavy equipment, construction, and mining sectors. Through our flagship publication, Coal Nation, and our growing digital presence, we connect industry leaders with the information they need to succeed.

In a world where anyone can buy advertising, our clients choose us for something more—trusted advisors who bring personality, perspective, and strategic direction that drives results. We are a high-energy team that values 'big thinkers' who can connect the dots. Our clients don’t just invest in advertising—they invest in the people behind it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

As an Account Executive, you will play a pivotal role in our sales efforts by inheriting a small portfolio of existing clients while also driving new business. This is a fast-paced, dynamic role where you will be selling advertising across five magazine titles and their associated digital communications simultaneously in any given week. You’ll need to be skilled at prospecting new advertising clients through phone and email outreach, with a daily call minimum of 40-60 calls.

You will be resourceful in finding new leads that will benefit from being featured in our media, helping to determine the ideal companies to prospect. Through consistent daily outreach, you will work diligently throughout each sales campaign to close new advertising accounts as required to meet your publication sales targets. You’ll also manage relationships with your existing advertising clients, collaborating with them to grow campaigns year over year. Additionally, you will actively work with our design, production, and digital departments to ensure your clients’ brands are best represented in our publications and digital platforms.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re seeking a resourceful hunter with expert time management skills, an ambitious mindset,



and a strong focus on new business development. Experience in meeting and exceeding sales targets is crucial for this role. You’ll need the drive and initiative to prospect, pitch, and close new advertising clients for our print and digital publications. You must be able to work independently in a remote setting, operate with high levels of professionalism, and handle tasks without distractions during office hours (8:30 am - 5:00 pm CST).

Solid client management skills are essential, as you'll be trusted with important marketing investments that require attention to detail and a consultative approach. You should have the ability to build trust and long-lasting relationships with clients.
