It’s a chance to help build a growing revenue stream within a modern media company.
This is not an Account Executive or Direct Sales quota-carrying role. This role will report to the Sr Manager, Creator Brand Partnerships.

Support the development and sale of creator-led advertising partnerships across Morning Brew’s portfolio.
-
Work with senior sales leaders to identify advertisers and agencies that are strong fits for creator-led opportunities.
-
Develop creative partnership concepts that connect brand objectives with Morning Brew creators, personalities, and content franchises.
-
Help build proposals, pitch decks, media plans, and other materials used to win new business.
-
Participate in client and agency pitches and presentations, increasingly taking ownership of portions of the sales process.
-
Identify opportunities to expand existing advertiser relationships through creator content, social, video, podcasts, events, and other integrated offerings.
-
Maintain an active pipeline of creator partnership opportunities and help move prospects from idea through close.
Strategy & Ideation
-
Develop repeatable creator packages and partnership frameworks that can be leveraged across the broader sales organization, and act as an internal resource for sales on creator partnerships and talent opportunities.
-
Bring forward proactive ideas tied to major cultural moments, tentpole events, and advertiser priorities.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
-
Partner closely with sales, content, creative strategy, production, and operations teams.
-
Help ensure creator-led programs are strategically aligned with both advertiser objectives and Morning Brew's editorial and brand identity.
WHAT YOU BRING
-
4–6 years of experience in media sales, brand partnerships, creator/influencer marketing, advertising, entertainment, sports, talent partnerships, or a related field.
-
Demonstrated experience developing and selling creative advertising or partnership ideas, ideally involving creators, social content, video, podcasts, or personality-driven media.
-
Strong understanding of the creator ecosystem, including talent, platforms, content formats, and emerging trends.
-
Strong presentation, writing, and communication skills.
-
Highly organized with strong attention to detail, comfortable managing multiple projects and stakeholders at once, particularly around campaign deliverables, timelines, and commercial terms.
-
Commercially minded with an understanding of how advertisers evaluate media partnerships.
-
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where processes and products are continually evolving.
-
Entrepreneurial and proactive — you see an opportunity and figure out how to make it happen.
SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE
In this role, you'll be successful if you can make creator partnerships easier to sell, easier to execute, and more valuable to Morning Brew and its advertisers.

BRIEF BREW HISTORY
Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.
In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
