Overview:
The Hired Guns are seeking a freelance Digital Marketing Maven with Sales Development experience for our client, a major media company. These guys have a beloved print brand and have begun bringing digital into the mix; now they need your vision to help the sales force take their online properties to the next level.

Gun Profile:
You're a digital visionary with several years' experience developing integrated marketing programs for clients, either on the digital media side or the digital agency side of the biz. You're known as a proactive idea machine, crafting mind-melding marketing concepts that thrill your clients (and your bosses). And significant lifts in revenue are directly attributable to your ideation.

This is a brand that distributes its content and sells its advertising across various channels, so our dream Gun has cross-platform experience selling marketing ideas across print or broadcast and digital. You don't just get branded entertainment, you evangelize it. You're looking to be on the forefront of bringing full-service agency competency into media companies.

Nitty Gritty:
In this role you'll work under the head of Digital Sales and Marketing -- a digital visionary, he's a straight shooter who knows exactly what he wants to build. To hang as his sidekick (and a strong "number two"), you'll need to go one step further than visionary, rolling up your sleeves and getting big stuff done.

RFPs will be your world; the buck will stop with you in terms of getting them out the door, on time and well done. This is a lean ship here, so you will be charged not only with crafting the messaging and writing the RFPs, but also with overseeing the art direction and special "detailing" that will make them stand out from all the competition out there.

Inside Skinny:
The economy is tight, and every media company is duking it out for incremental revenue. If this kind of competition gets your heart beating fast -- and coming up with big ideas to win business means actual palpitations -- we're talking to you. An extra gold star for the Gun with an innate ability to go one step further and pitch alongside the sales team.

Net-Net:
This global media brand reaches a very broad mass audience; if you've got solid knowledge of how to sell to verticals (particularly consumer packaged goods) and a competitive streak in you, let's see a dynamic pitch letter.

How to Apply:
Email a cover letter (required) with your most recent resume attached to digitalmarksalesdevgig@thehiredguns.com. Please copy "Media Bistro, Digital Marketing Maven" in the subject line of your email. The cover letter should detail your experience relevant to this opportunity and include the reasons for your interest in the position.

No phone calls or faxes, please.
