Integrated Media Specialist (Account Executive- Outside Sales)Territory-Based | Hybrid | Client-Facing Market Role Company: LocaliQ, powered by the USA TODAY Network
Location: Outside Sales, territory-based role in Port Huron, MI | Hybrid (Remote + In-territory)
About LocaliQ At
LocaliQ, part of USA TODAY Co., we help businesses grow by bringing together advanced
marketing technology, trusted audience reach, and the expertise to turn it into results. In this role, you'll work at the intersection of
digital marketing and one of the most trusted media networks in the country-helping businesses connect with customers across the full marketing funnel.
You'll partner with clients to understand their goals, build strategies that combine
performance-driven digital solutions with the reach of the USA TODAY Network, and deliver measurable outcomes. This is an opportunity to be part of a team that doesn't just sell products. We bring together the right mix of solutions to drive real business growth.
About the Role Our Integrated Media Specialist role is a consultative, relationship-driven sales position for someone who loves owning the full sales cycle-from
net-new prospecting through
long-term account growth-and who thrives in both hunting and managing client relationships.
In this role, you will
actively hunt for net-new business, while also
managing, growing, and expanding an ongoing book of clients. You'll create tailored marketing strategies, guide businesses from first conversation through ongoing performance discussions, and continually identify opportunities to deepen partnerships over time. You'll act as a trusted marketing partner-not a transactional seller-
balancing new business development with retention, upsell, and account expansion to drive long-term client value. Our Integrated Media Specialist role is partnered with a post-sales team that manages campaign performance, optimizes results, and prepares reporting. Additional support resources are available, including the Data and Insights team, Client Strategists, and other product-specific resources.
In your first 90 days, you'll gain confidence in LocaliQ's solutions, tools, and sales approach while building meaningful prospecting and discovery habits. By the end of this period, you'll be owning your territory and sales cycle end-to-end, with the support and coaching needed to set you up for long-term success.

- Build and present data-informed digital and traditional marketing proposals that connect strategy, tactics, and budget to client goals.
- Own the full sales cycle-from initial outreach through close-while maintaining accurate CRM activity, pipeline management, and forecasting.
- Partner with internal account management, creative, and strategy teams to support strong client outcomes.
- Stay engaged post-sale through reporting, optimization, and performance conversations that support renewals and continued growth.
Qualifications- 3+ years of B2B sales experience with success in new business development, account growth, or business development roles (experience level may vary by market and role level; Recruiter to update).
