Company DescriptionExecutive Media is a long-established leader in niche-market advertising, with more than 50 years of continuous operation. The company produces bespoke print publications from concept to delivery, managing planning, content creation, advertising, design, production, printing and distribution.

With a dedicated team of editors, designers, advertising sales representatives and support staff, Executive Media works closely with clients to create publications tailored to each organisation’s specific needs. Our specialist sales representatives focus on highly targeted, non-mass-market audiences, helping advertisers reach the right decision-makers for their products and services. Executive Media also provides custom advertisement design services for clients who do not have finished artwork.

Executive Media also has independent, wholly owned subsidiaries operating in New Zealand and the United States. In addition to selling advertising in our Australian publications, there may be opportunities for the successful candidate to sell advertising in titles published in these jurisdictions.
