• A proven track record in driving new business within digital media, ideally with agency and brand contacts ready to go.
• A passion for gaming and entertainment, and an understanding of what makes these audiences tick.
• Strong communication and presentation skills - you know how to craft a compelling pitch and close a deal.
• A self-starter mindset: you’re proactive, resilient, and thrive on hitting (and beating) targets.
• Confidence with data and insights to back up your recommendations and deliver results.
• The ability to juggle multiple opportunities and build long-term client relationships.
• A collaborative approach - you’ll work closely with internal teams to make sure we deliver what we promise.
