At Facebook, our vision is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. We think this is having a profound impact on the way we relate to people, communities and institutions around us. As such, Facebook is a powerful way for companies to reach consumers and advertise their products and brands, leveraging the power of word of mouth recommendations. Facebook will continue to grow its client acquisition strategy through 2012 by recruiting experienced sales professionals with a working background in television, media & advertising sales. A highly creative, insightful individual capable of providing bespoke solutions specifically targeted to a client's identified target market is required. Facebook is seeking a candidate with extensive experience in selling cross-network marketing solutions to multichannel advertisers and a proven ability to reach and influence executive level customers and drive new business. Reporting to the market sales manager, the brand sales specialist will be responsible for increasing Facebook’s share of brand spend by working closely with direct advertisers/advertising agencies to drive/implement strategy that can be adjusted in line with corporate goals.
