The Sales and Partnerships Lead turns Journey of Objects brand, media kit, rate card and target list into regular revenue: advertising and sponsorship in Object, studio work for brands, exhibitions and partnerships.

- Start from our existing media kit, rate card and target-brand list, and turn them into a working pipeline.
- Build proposal templates and sales collateral.
- Build relationships with CMOs, brand heads, marketing heads and media buyers.
- Prospect, pitch, negotiate and close advertising, sponsorship, studio and exhibition deals.
- Design packages that combine print, digital, social, film and events, with sponsored work always clearly labelled.

- Strong written proposals and presentations.
- An eye for craft, design and culture, and the taste to represent the brand to luxury clients.
