The ideal candidate should have built a base of loyal clients through previous roles and have the ability to develop those relationships into new business opportunities for Sloka.

Key Responsibilities Identify and develop new business opportunities across Bangalore and other key markets. Build relationships with business owners, marketing heads, brand managers and senior decision-makers. Sell media space, advertising solutions and integrated marketing ideas across print, television, radio, outdoor, digital, social media and other relevant platforms.

Understand client business objectives and develop marketing solutions rather than simply selling media inventory. Generate leads through existing relationships, referrals, networking and proactive prospecting.



Leverage existing client relationships to bring new accounts and business opportunities to Sloka.

Prepare and present proposals, media plans, campaign ideas and commercial pitches. Work closely with Sloka's creative, media and digital teams to develop compelling solutions for clients. Manage the complete business development cycle from prospecting and pitching to negotiation and closure.

Maintain strong relationships with existing clients and identify opportunities for account growth and cross-selling. Achieve monthly and annual revenue and recent-business targets. Keep track of market trends, competitor activity and emerging opportunities in advertising and marketing.

What We Are Looking For 2–5 years of experience in business development / client acquisition in advertising, media or marketing. Proven experience in selling media space and/or marketing solutions to clients. A strong network of existing client relationships in Bangalore will be a major advantage.

Demonstrated ability to acquire new clients and close business. Good understanding of advertising and media — particularly print, outdoor, radio, digital and integrated campaigns. Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills.





Ability to understand a client's business challenge and convert it into a marketing opportunity. High energy, confidence and a strong commercial orientation. Self-driven and comfortable working independently with clear revenue targets.

Good interpersonal skills and the ability to build long-term relationships. Your client network matters. We are particularly interested in candidates who have developed strong relationships with clients during their previous roles and have a track record of retaining those relationships.

If you have clients who trust your advice, value your relationship and are willing to consider working with you in your new organisation , you will be strongly preferred.
