Pitchfork is seeking an experienced advertising sales professional for its Chicago office. We are looking for someone with a deep interest in independent and emerging music, online media, publishing, and creative marketing. The ideal candidate should have experience partnering with both direct and agency clients, developing creative advertising programs, building long-term client relationships, and managing all aspect of sales– from developing target lists to closing.
How many buzz words in here go against the DIY punk ethic? I’ll get you started:
1. marketing
2. sales
3. target lists
Marketing is debatable. Greg Ginn said marketing was important to Black Flag or something to that effect and they were one of the models of the DIY ethic.
