Drive new-business sales across North London by prospecting SMEs, conducting consultative meetings, and selling digital marketing solutions including paid social, display, video, and websites. Build and manage a qualified pipeline, develop client relationships into long-term accounts, create data-led proposals, coordinate with editorial and marketing teams, and meet revenue, activity, appointment, and conversion targets.
At LOCALiQ, part of Newsquest Media Group, we’re passionate about helping local businesses grow through smart, data‑driven digital marketing. As a Media Sales Consultant covering North London, you’ll play a key role in driving growth for SMEs by connecting them with effective, digitally led advertising solutions.
This is a new business - focused role, where you’ll be responsible for identifying, engaging and winning new clients across your territory. Over time, the accounts you onboard will form your own portfolio, giving you the opportunity to develop long‑term client relationships alongside continued new business activity.
You’ll work as part of a successful, collaborative team, partnering closely with colleagues across sales, editorial and marketing to deliver impactful campaigns and an excellent customer experience.
The role is hybrid, combining home working, time in the local office to review progress and support development, and regular face‑to‑face client meetings across North London. As travel is essential, candidates must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle for business use, and live within or close to the territory.
