VP Brand Partnerships

Who We Are

We’re a full-service creative shop born out of ATTN:’s purpose-driven mission to bring attention to the things that matter. We exist to build brands for the attention era. We accelerate growth for brands, putting them at the center of culture so they become the center of attention. We are a diverse group of entrepreneurial spirits, creative minds and makers and we’re lucky enough to work with some of the world’s most innovative brands and culturally connected brands.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for an ambitious, creative, and highly strategic VP of Brand Partnerships to join our new business team, with a dedicated focus on growing ATTN:’s presence and revenue across the technology sector.

What You’ll Do

• You’ll be driving the full deal lifecycle, owning a revenue target and leading everything from thoughtful prospecting, pipeline development, and executive relationship-building to creative strategy, proposal development, negotiation, and close.
• Own and grow a portfolio of strategic accounts, building trusted senior-level relationships across brand, marketing, media, communications, and innovation teams.
• Identify and open new business opportunities through your own network, market knowledge, and ability to connect ATTN:’s capabilities to client priorities.
• Sell integrated, creative, and social-first programs that may span branded content, creator partnerships, experiential, streaming, digital, social, and broader strategic agency-style solutions.
• Think like a brand marketer, not just a seller so understanding client objectives, business pressures, audience needs, and the role ATTN: can play in helping brands show up with relevance and impact.
• Partner closely with internal creative, strategy, account, production, and leadership teams to develop best-in-class ideas and bring them to market.
• Help evolve ATTN:’s go-to-market approach within the focus categories, identifying where the market is heading and where the company can build deeper relationships.
• Prioritize high-value accounts and develop thoughtful account plans that support both near-term revenue and longer-term strategic growth.
• Create momentum in the market by turning relationships into meetings, briefs, project-based work, and larger-scale partnerships.
• Stay closely attuned to marketing trends, technology shifts, social behavior, cultural conversation, and integrated, multi-platform campaigns.

Who You Are

• 12+ years of relevant experience across digital, social, media, agency, brand partnerships, client-direct sales, or in-house marketing.
• Deep experience working with technology, innovation-led, or culturally relevant brands, with a strong understanding of how these companies think about brand, audience, reputation, growth, and cultural relevance.
• Existing relationships across major technology, AI, consumer technology, social media platforms, enterprise technology, or innovation-focused companies.
• A strategic and proactive client partner with experience selling or developing branded content, social-first campaigns, creator/influencer programs, integrated partnerships, or creative agency-style solutions.
• Someone with an established senior-level network and a demonstrated ability to convert trusted relationships into commercial opportunities.
• Experienced in building client-direct relationships and navigating complex organizations with multiple decision-makers and stakeholders.
• Comfortable selling ideas and strategy, not just inventory or impressions.
• Confident negotiating and closing complex six- and seven-figure partnerships.
• Energized by building: you are excited by the chance to help shape a category, expand a practice area, and contribute to a company’s next stage of growth.
• A strong communicator and presenter with executive presence, strong judgment, commercial discipline, and the ability to build trust with both clients and internal leadership.
• A fast learner and original thinker who can thrive in ambiguity, adjust quickly to change, and bring structure to open-ended opportunities.
• Passionate about ATTN:’s mission, our content, social storytelling, and the evolving role brands play in culture.
