Become The Carillon’s New Advertising Manager

Want to help out your campus newspaper, and make a few bucks while you’re at it?

Wondering where the Carillon staff has space for someone who’s personable, organized, and able to work independently while in a team environment?

Able to sell people not just on products but on ideas?

Well, we might have a spot for you.

The Carillon is looking for a motivated, enthusiastic person to fill the position of Advertising Manager for the rest of the 2011-12 publishing year!

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

• Selling ads to local and provincial customers for upcoming issues of the Carillon
• Ensuring ads are to correct measurements and submitted before the end of production
• Maintaining current advertiser relationships and building new ones
• Developing strategies to attract advertisers while representing the Carillon‘s strengths as a brand
• Ensuring that invoices and remittances are collected and distributed in a timely manner
• Communication with the Carillon Newspaper Inc. board of directors and the editorial board, especially the editor-in-chief and the business manager
• Working with Campus Plus, the Canadian University Press-owned national advertising agency
• Keeping regular office hours each week
• That you probably won’t look like Don Draper – or even be a dude in the first place – but you are nevertheless enthusiastic about the idea of selling advertising spaces in the only editorially and financially independent student-run newspaper in Regina, Saskatchewan

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US

• Strong commitment to editorial identity and building a brand based on quality journalism and compelling writing
• Support from editorial staff in tackling job-related issues
• Regular communication from editorial staff
• Assistance in developing attractive and compelling resources – like, say, a media kit for advertisers – from the business manager, editor-in-chief, and production manager
• Access to a Canada-wide network of fellow advertising representatives from other campus papers
• Probably some of the most fun you’ll ever have in an office environment
• Free food every Monday, which we probably can’t oversell
• Did we mention that the position is paid on commission
