Our offices in Camden Town

WE may have mentioned, once or twice, that the Camden *New Journal* was named the UK’s best weekly paper at the Regional Press Awards.

Our hard work was recognised in the midst of the toughest financial climate ever known for local media. The paper, its sister titles in Islington and Westminster and related services, such as our website and social media, are funded by advertising, sponsorships, events and newsletter subscriptions.

We are now looking to hire a new member of staff to help with this endeavour.

One of our sales staff has recently moved up north, opening up an opportunity for a new candidate to sell advertising space in print and online ­­­– and work on our sponsorship and support arrangements.

While other local newspapers may have faded, the *New Journal* is still very much held in high regard and advertisers are well aware of our reach across north London. This provides a platform and scope for a sales representative to uncover new leads and maintain existing relationships.

This is not a reporting role, but anybody applying should be well aware of the paper’s independent spirit and be enthused by roles which help maintain Camden’s campaigning voice. Knowledge of the paper, what we do and why we do it will be very valuable.

The role is likely to involve lots of time on the telephone, working from lists and meeting clients where necessary. The successful candidate will be strong at quick or lengthy sales pitches to new customers. Experience will be beneficial but we value attitude and application first. The hours will be regular office working in Camden Town.

Those interested,
should email richard@ camdennewjournal.co.uk with a CV and a short covering letter. It can include ideas that you would bring to this role. Please mark the subject fields in your emails as “job application”.

There is no official closing date as we are looking to hire somebody as soon as they are available.
