Company 119 is hiring: Account Executive - Video Advertising & Media Sales in Ch

Do you enjoy helping businesses grow and understand the impact of compelling video storytelling?

Do you have a strong background in traditional media sales-especially television-and the ability to open doors and build lasting relationships?

About the Role

Video Dept., a subsidiary of Company 119, is seeking a sharp, self-motivated Account Executive to lead new business development and manage client accounts for our growing video production team. The ideal candidate has a proven track record in media and advertising sales, understands the broadcast landscape, and excels at connecting clients with creative solutions that drive results.

You'll work alongside a talented group of video creatives, marketing pros, and digital strategists-supported by the infrastructure of our parent company, Company 119-to deliver exceptional client outcomes.

Your mission? Find the right clients, uncover their needs, and guide them toward high-impact video strategies.

What You'll Do

You'll take the lead on:

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities across industries with a focus on companies investing in brand, advertising, and communications.
• Serve as both a hunter and account manager-handling everything from discovery calls and proposals to ongoing client communications.
• Recommend video-first strategies that may include commercial campaigns, branded content, corporate storytelling, and more.
• Maintain a healthy and active sales pipeline via our CRM (HubSpot) with regular reporting and KPI tracking.
• Provide consultative insights that position Video Dept. as a creative partner-not just a vendor.
• Collaborate closely with our Executive Producer to align creative concepts with client goals and budgets.
• Leverage existing broadcast/TV advertising sales experience to establish new client relationships and revive dormant accounts.

Qualifications

We're looking for someone with:

• 3+ years of experience in media/advertising sales, preferably with a focus on broadcast television or traditional media
• A client-first mindset-your goal is to solve real business problems, not just pitch products
• Comfortable working independently but energized by team collaboration
• Familiarity with video production processes and timelines
• Proven ability to manage deals from outreach to close, and maintain long-term relationships
• Strong communication and presentation skills-you're confident, persuasive, and a great listener
• A self-motivated, problem-solving attitude-Run Toward Fire™ mindset required!

Who This Role is For

This role is perfect for someone who:

• Someone with broadcast TV or traditional media sales experience who is ready to evolve with the changing landscape
• A strong communicator who's energized by consultative, value-based selling
• A self-starter who thrives in a small-team environment and is motivated by results
• Someone who understands how to translate business objectives into creative solutions
• A driven sales professional who wants autonomy, flexibility, and creative freedom

Who This Role is NOT For

• Someone who only wants to manage existing accounts-we're looking for someone who loves prospecting and building
• Someone who's uncomfortable working across creative and strategic conversations
• Anyone unfamiliar with or uninterested in the power of video as a marketing and branding tool
• Anyone who needs a rigid corporate structure-we offer support, but not micromanagement

What We Offer

Aggressive Salary & Benefits

• Aggressive base salary + commission structure
• 401(k) with company match
• Backing from Company 119's experienced digital marketing and operations team
• Creative and energetic team culture
• Generous PTO and flexible scheduling
• Medical insurance
