The Guides Magazines have been connecting local communities across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay for more than 14 years. Through our five North Brisbane (Sandgate Guide, Redcliffe Guide, Chermside Guide, North Lakes Guide, Caboolture Guide), community magazines, websites, e-newsletters and social media, we help local businesses reach local customers while sharing the stories, events and people that make each community unique.
We're looking for an experienced Advertising Sales Representative to join our friendly team.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building genuine relationships with business owners, is confident starting conversations, and takes pride in helping clients find advertising solutions that work for their business.
About the role
This is a hybrid position based from our Chermside office, with work from home flexibility. We're open to either full time or part time hours because we're focused on finding the right fit.
You'll spend your time:
- Building relationships with new and existing advertisers
- Visiting local businesses across our distribution areas
- Prospecting for new business opportunities across North Brisbane
- Working with clients to create effective advertising campaigns across print and digital
- Attending networking functions and community events
- Managing your client portfolio and following up enquiries
- Working closely with our production and editorial teams to ensure campaigns run smoothly
About you
You'll already have experience in sales and enjoy working with people.
You're someone who:
- Builds rapport easily and enjoys meeting new people
- Is organised and follows through on commitments
- Is confident picking up the phone and introducing yourself
- Enjoys being out in the community as well as working in the office
- Understands that outstanding customer service builds long term relationships
- Wants to help local businesses succeed through effective marketing
- Is a supportive team player who is open to learning
Previous advertising or media sales experience would be highly regarded but isn't essential if you have a proven sales background.
Why join The Guides Magazines?
We're a small, supportive team that genuinely cares about the communities we serve. Many of our advertisers have been with us for years because we focus on building long term relationships rather than simply selling advertising.
We're not looking for someone to simply sell advertising. We're looking for someone who enjoys becoming a trusted part of the local business community.
If you're looking for a role where you can become a familiar face in the local business community, enjoy flexibility, and work with people who value collaboration and integrity, we'd love to hear from you.
