CHICAGO AEs: Bringing this one back to the top...I have a major Chicago SPORTS media network/team in need of 2 new hires. 1 senior AE and 1 junior AE. If you're a Media sales rep with contacts at the agency and brand level located in CHICAGO...and want to know more, DM me. Desire to work in Sports is always nice - but this is ultimately a brand partnerships role. Understanding the Chicago territory (agency and brand) is critical...understanding advertising partnerships, media, and sponsorships is critical. Once you land the gig - you can hook me up with tickets whenever my New York team is in town playing them, lol :)
