TEGNA Inc. helps people thrive in their local communities by providing the trusted local news and services that matter most. With 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, TEGNA reaches more than 100 million people monthly across the web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.
KFMB-TV San Diego, the TEGNA-owned CBS affiliate in San Diego, is seeking a proven, results-driven Account Executive to grow new business and manage a book of advertising clients across one of the strongest cross-screen portfolios in the market. This is a seat for a closer who can walk into a business owner's office or an agency pitch, uncover what's really driving their marketing decisions, and build the multi-platform solution that wins the budget.
You'll sell the full weight of TEGNA: the mass reach and trust of CBS broadcast television paired with the targeting and growth of streaming. On the linear side, you'll connect advertisers to the large, engaged local audiences that tune in to San Diego's trusted news and programming. On the streaming side, you’ll leverage Premion, TEGNA’s streaming and CTV advertising business, to deliver premium, brand-safe connected-TV inventory. Premion’s curated marketplace includes 125+ OTT and CTV publishers, offering the same premium environments national buyers demand. Layered with digital video, display, and content solutions, it's a cross-screen story few competitors can match and in your hands, a clear advantage in every pitch.
We give experienced sellers the portfolio, the autonomy, and the support to build something significant. Top performers grow their books, their earnings, and their careers.
