What it's like to be a Junior Outdoor Advertising Leasing Agent

As a Junior Outdoor Advertising Leasing Agent, you're selling advertising space on billboards, signs, transit, and other out-of-home (OOH) media. This means prospecting for advertisers, presenting available inventory, negotiating lease terms, and building relationships with businesses who want outdoor visibility.

Your day is sales-focused. You might cold call potential advertisers in the morning, meet with a client to discuss their needs, present available billboard locations, and negotiate contract terms. Expect significant phone and email communication, client meetings, and the typical rhythms of sales β€” prospecting, presenting, closing, and managing accounts.

The people who thrive here enjoy selling and have genuine interest in advertising and real estate. You need sales skills β€” prospecting, presenting, handling objections, and closing. Knowledge of local markets and traffic patterns helps you match clients with effective locations.
