Radio Reps Being Lured to Digital

It might be a GREAT time for Radio sellers to jump into the world of digital sales. Advertisers are ramping up their ad spend…..only this time….much of it’s going toward web. That’s why we’re stoked about all the amazing digital jobs now available…. to Radio, as well as all traditional media reps.

Feel free to stay where you are though. We hope you enjoy the feel-good speeches at the 2012 RAB Radio Show. We’re sure that’ll help your career. Not.

According to RBR-TVBRInternet Radio phenom; Pandora, is hiring radio reps that have established relationships with agencies and advertisers that use traditional radio.

Pandora believes this will lend more credibility to their fast growing service. Reps will be able to provide comparative answers to Radio vs. Pandora questions on metrics, reach, frequency, CPMs, etc.
