Radio Sales Executive

DESCRIPTION

The North East’s newest radio group is seeking to recruit a Media Sales Executive that is ready to grow to lead commercial performance across the region. You will sell across our Tyneside and Wearside radio stations as well as oversee the Teesside operation. Our stations are brand new and unique, highly innovative and hugely proud to be local to respective patches and specialise in multi-media integrated advertising solutions for local and regional brands, whether audio, social and/or digital.

The Toon serves Tyneside, The Cat Wearside and The Red Teesside. Regionally all three currently broadcast to 1.2m adults across the North East. By 2025, this will be 2.3m. We have some BIG plans!
