ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
As an Account Executive at the Boston Phoenix you get to...
…Dine at some of the best restaurants in town…and it’s your job!
…Go to concerts and entertain clients … and it’s your job!
…Hang out at happening bars and clubs … and it’s your job!
…Talk to clients about the ways to attract people to events … and it’s your job!
…Be up-to-date on all the fun events in the Boston area… and it’s your job!
To put it simply, you go out to businesses and you sell them advertising – print ads, online ads, email campaigns, promotional campaigns…whatever we can come up with that will help the client be more profitable. You manage the entire life cycle of the ad – work with art to create ads, with our other media outlets to create campaigns, with marketing to develop cross promotions, with traffic to schedule ads and plenty of others in getting the message out. You will be out of the office plenty – probably half your time – following up with clients, pitching ad proposals to prospects, attending promotional events, making sales.
STREET TEAM MEMBERS
Want to get out and see the best of Boston’s nightlife?
Does the thought of working back-stage and behind the scenes interest you?
Do you want to get the inside scoop on all of Boston’s hottest parties?
Well, then you should consider becoming a part of the Boston Phoenix Street Team! As a member of this team you’ll not only help to create a buzz about all of our events in the area, but you’ll also be the first to know what everyone is talking about the next day!
Since The Boston Phoenix is the area’s premier arts, entertainment, and nightlife publisher, it should not surprise you to hear that the Street Team assists us with the publicity for everything from the Brattle Street Theatre to Monty Python’s Spamalot to a swanky, 42 Below Vodka event at Saint.
Essential Functions:
Some of the job duties would include distributing flyers and merchandise; setting up tables and tents at events; and even attending some events to make sure they are well-attended, well-organized and successful promotions overall.
The majority of the events will take place in the evening, but help may be needed in the morning sometimes as well.
The job is not full time, but it is a very good way to introduce yourself to the Phoenix Media/Communications Group family, and if you turn out to be a regular Street Team rockstar, then the opportunity for more regular employment is possible in the future. This is also a terrific entrance into the fields of marketing and communications.
