Senior Account Executive, Brand Integration

Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is proud to represent clients across many industries including entertainment, social good, tech and lifestyle and we tell their stories through a variety of mediums.  We know that even during the toughest times, our responsibility to our clients and each other can bring meaningful and long-lasting impact for those affected the most. We’re proud of each and every campaign we execute, but you may be wondering why we don’t have more than a landing page as our website. While many of our clients are household names (you know them, we’re sure of it), our digital footprint is purposefully small. We fly under the radar and we like it that way.

If you are fired up and ready to do good, join us! 

We have an opening for a Senior Account Executive on our Brand Integration Team. The ideal person for this role is someone who is excited to help develop and execute creative brand integration partnerships and campaigns. “You have a pulse on the latest brand marketing and entertainment industry trends” – (everyone says this but it’s true). This is a role for someone who has experience working on brand marketing and cause marketing campaigns and can sell brands on sponsorship opportunities. You are excited to create out of the box partnership ideas and spot trends in the entertainment and pop culture landscape.

Responsibilities Include:

• Developing and executing detailed strategies aimed at achieving client goals
• Managing integrated communications campaigns, including engaging with and pitching brand partnerships, sponsorships and paid integration deals
• Participating in new business processes and using data, analytics, and competitive research to inform strategic proposals

• You are learning how all areas of brand integration and communications (media relations, social media, creative, brand integration, talent integration) work together as part of a complete strategy, including when and how to best amplify a campaign utilizing different services
• You know how to “create news” for clients to achieve their goals while staying within their budget
• You have a track record of executing successful brand partnerships (both paid and in-kind)
• You have relationships with contacts and decision makers at brands across a diverse range of industries
• You are positive, proactive and solutions-oriented.

• You have secured and executed sponsorships for brands
• You have experience working with corporate clients and understand how to adjust to their specific needs
• You have experience working on paid integration opportunities in TV and Film and have a deep understanding of marketing opportunities with studios, networks and streaming services

• You are incredibly passionate about making a difference with your work and have experience working on cause marketing campaigns.
