New Business Ambassador

Urgent Content needs a creative business development ninja.  This individual will be responsible for identifying new business opportunities, developing pitch materials, and pitching to prospective clients.  This individual will be based in either LA/SF/NY and be flexible to be on the road traveling fairly consistently.  Instead of calling you “this individual” let’s just say “you.”  You will be thinking about Urgent Content’s unique core business proposition in terms of new clients, but also thinking creatively about how we can leverage our strategic position to open untapped opportunities for partnership and revenue generation.  You have a passion for social media, general media, and pop culture.  Ideally you have “traditional” or “digital” advertising agency background or you’ve worked within an innovative brand’s marketing group.  You come with 4-6 years of experience and a fairly robust Rolodex (errr… pda) of contacts.

This is a contract position with the potential for generous upside in success.
