FAQ
How is an ad network sales manager different from BizDev in media buying?
A media buying team's BizDev looks for where to sell the team's traffic. A network sales manager sells the network's inventory, the traffic source itself, to buyers and advertisers.
Do I need media buying experience?
It helps a lot: a manager who has run push campaigns themselves finds common ground with buyers faster and can suggest working setups.
