Media Advisor

Looking for your next career move?

Illini Media Group is hiring Media Advisors to join our team of marketing pros! This is a client-facing, outside sales role for someone sharp, creative, and ready to help local businesses grow.

You’ll connect with business owners, simplify their marketing, and guide them through the full customer journey—from “just curious” to “ready to buy.” You’ll work with existing clients, inbound leads, and your own outreach.

We’ll train you to use high-impact platforms like broadcast radio, paid search, digital display, video, and social media. If you love learning new things, asking great questions, and solving problems, you’ll thrive here.

We’re looking for people who are self-motivated, curious, and people-oriented. Sales or hospitality experience is a plus, but what really matters is drive and follow-through.
