Off Premise Sales Representative – Long Island, NY

Company Description

Inspira is a brand relationship agency. Did we make that up? Yes, yes, we did. But defining ourselves as a “full-service agency” just feels too generic. Instead, we focus on what people can expect every time they work with us: an integrated approach to cultivating deeper, long-term relationships between brands and consumers. The kind of relationships that don’t just drive sales, but help create powerful, active communities and long-term loyalty as well. Because the truth is, brands aren’t all that different from humans. The best ones are the ones people like getting to know better.

So, join us in driving meaningful impact for our clients, one relationship at a time.
