BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVE
Experience : 5–7 Years Agency Experience : Our work spans social content, digital campaigns, branded films, performance creatives, podcasts, and AI-led visual experiences.
We are looking for a Business Development Executive who can introduce eCultify to the right brands, create meaningful business opportunities, and help grow our client portfolio and presence in the market.
You should understand how an agency wins business, recognise what a brand genuinely needs, and know how to position creative solutions in a commercially relevant way.
Find the Right Business Opportunities
You will research brands, sectors, and marketing teams that could benefit from eCultify's capabilities. Your focus will be on identifying relevant opportunities rather than building a large but unfocused list of leads.
You will create target-account lists, identify decision-makers, follow industry developments, and recognise opportunities across content, campaigns, performance creatives, film, and emerging formats.
Own Outreach & Build Relationships
You will initiate conversations with prospective clients through thoughtful outreach, referrals, professional networks, meetings, and industry events. You will develop relationships with brand managers, marketing heads, founders, and other key stakeholders, building credibility for eCultify from the very first interaction.
You will ask the right questions to understand a prospect's brand, business objectives, audience, existing marketing challenges, budget, and decision-making process.
You should be able to recognise where eCultify can add value, explain our services clearly, and involve the right creative, strategy, media, or production specialists when a conversation requires deeper expertise.
You should be able to connect a brand's business problem with a relevant creative or digital solution, coordinate inputs, manage pitch timelines,
and ensure that what we present is both ambitious and realistically deliverable.
You will manage the sales cycle from initial outreach and discovery to meetings, proposals, follow-ups, negotiations, and closure. You will work within agreed commercial parameters, coordinate with leadership on pricing and contracts, and ensure a clear handover to the account and delivery teams once a project is won.
Business development is also about making the agency known for the right work. You will look for relevant networking opportunities, partnerships, industry conversations, and introductions that strengthen eCultify's visibility and reputation.
You should be able to speak confidently about our portfolio, capabilities, creative thinking, and evolving use of technology, while bringing back useful market insights that help us position the agency more effectively.
You will be expected to balance consistent outreach with thoughtful relationship-building and work towards agreed business development goals.
A Relationship Builder: You are genuinely interested in people and brands. Commercially Aware: You can connect creative work with business objectives and understand the importance of scope, budgets, margins, and timelines.
Curious About the Industry: You actively follow brands, campaigns, digital platforms, production trends, and how marketing requirements are evolving.
5–7 years of qualified experience in business development, new business acquisition, or client partnerships, with hands-on experience at a creative,
digital, advertising, or integrated marketing agency.
- You should understand agency services, pitch processes, commercial conversations, and client expectations.
- Proven ability to identify prospects, initiate outreach, manage client meetings, and develop qualified business opportunities.
- Working knowledge of social media, digital campaigns, branded content, performance marketing, video production, and related agency offerings.
- Strong verbal and written communication, presentation, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.
- Ability to understand client briefs and collaborate with strategy, creative, design, media, and production teams on pitches and proposals.
- Experience preparing credentials presentations, proposals, scopes of work, or other business development materials.
- Comfortable managing a sales pipeline, tracking follow-ups, and reporting progress using CRM tools or structured trackers.
- An existing network of brand-side marketers, founders, or industry partners will be an advantage.
You have no agency experience: You rely only on bulk outreach: You should be interested in a prospect's business problem before recommending a service.
Long-term client relationships depend on honest communication and realistic commitments.
Winning the right business requires close collaboration with founders, strategists, creatives, and account teams.
At eCultify, we are interested in building partnerships with brands that value ideas, craft, and meaningful business impact.
If you know how to open the right doors, understand what brands need, and turn those conversations into strong agency partnerships, we would like to hear from you. Share your CV and a brief note on the accounts, pitches, or business opportunities you have helped develop at [HIDDEN TEXT] & [HIDDEN TEXT] .
