Salem Media Group is hiring : Media Strategist in Elk Grove Village

Overview :

Salem Media – Chicago is seeking a driven and consultative Media Strategist / Account Executive  who thrives on creating real business outcomes, not just selling tactics. This role is built for a professional who understands that today’s business leaders don’t want “ads”—they want solutions that increase revenue, improve customer acquisition, and grow profitability.

Our Media Strategists work across multi-channel platforms  (broadcast, digital, OTT / CTV, SEO, PPC, and more) to diagnose client challenges, design growth strategies, and deliver measurable results. Success in this role will be defined by your ability to develop new business, retain and grow key accounts, and consistently exceed revenue goals  through an outcome-based consultative process.

Responsibilities :

• Consultative Selling :  Lead with discovery—analyzing a prospect’s customer journey, conversion bottlenecks, and revenue goals—to create data-driven strategies that solve real business problems.
• Business Impact Solutions :  Position Salem Surround not as a vendor of tactics, but as a strategic partner  delivering outcomes such as increased leads, higher-quality customers, improved ROI, and long-term growth.
• Client Engagement :  Build trust with business owners and marketing leaders through high-value conversations, clear recommendations, and ongoing performance reviews tied directly to client KPIs.
• Revenue Growth :  Consistently achieve monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets by opening new accounts, expanding relationships with existing clients, and providing solutions that scale.
• Strategic Presentations :  Craft and deliver compelling proposals that tell the full story—market insights, opportunities, cost of inaction, and a clear path to profit.
• Continuous Learning :  Stay current on digital marketing trends, category-specific challenges, and Salem’s growing portfolio of integrated media solutions.
