About the role
For The Inlet Current, a contract role with Story Monkey Productions Inc.
Are you a high-energy "hunter" with a passion for local news and digital storytelling? We're looking for an entrepreneurial Advertising & Partnerships Manager to drive advertising revenue for the Inlet Current. An excellent opportunity for self-employed enterpreneurs, marketing professionals, and those interested in a full-time or part-time commission-based contract. This is a golden opportunity for people who love sales!
This is a 100% commission-based contract role for a self-starter who wants to build their own book of business. There's no ceiling on your earnings; the more you sell, the more you make. And your sales do more than pay you. Advertising revenue flows up to support the Foundation for Local Journalism and therefore the Inlet Current’s independent reporting, so every deal you close helps keep local journalism alive.
This role is with Story Monkey Productions Inc., which manages advertising and commercial partnerships for the Inlet Current.
What You'll Sell
Display advertising: high-visibility banner and display placements across our desktop and mobile platforms.
Newsletter sponsorships: direct access to our subscribers' inboxes.
Sponsored content: clearly labelled branded/sponsored content that lets local brands tell their story to our engaged audience, produced separately from, and never presented as, our independent newsroom journalism.
Custom packages: tailored multi-channel campaigns for local businesses.
Responsibilities
Prospecting: identify and reach out to local businesses, agencies, and brands that align with our readership.
The pitch: confidently present the value of our audience and the impact of digital storytelling.
Closing: manage the full sales cycle from first contact to signed contract.
Relationship management: maintain long-term partnerships and high renewal rates.
Coordinate with the Foundation's fundraising: commercial advertising (your work) is distinct from philanthropic support to the Foundation. Coordinate, so there’s no duplicate or conflicting asks to the same local businesses.
Requirements
A proven closer: 2+ years in sales (media, digital marketing, or local advertising a big plus).
Resilient: you see a "no" as a detour, not a dead end.
A communication pro: you can explain the value of sponsored content versus a display ad with ease.
