A Media Sales Manager in KOLs.Asia comprehensively understands a company's offerings and expands its market reach, particularly in influencer marketing. This involves engaging potential clients through meetings and networking events, lead generation through cold calls, showcasing a clear alignment of client needs with the company's services. They craft tailored campaign proposals, present ideas, and manage client communication.

The manager collaborates with the Strat & Servicing team to translate client project briefs into actionable proposals, aiding the Campaign Management team's execution.
