About us
Forget Me Not Publications hand-delivers a family of local magazines to around 55,000 homes across 11 editions in Hampshire every month — with every drop GPS-tracked, so we know it lands. In a world of scrolling and skipping ads, we give local businesses something rarer: a printed page that sits on the kitchen table and gets read. We're part of the Footprint Group, alongside our sister brands in print, digital, and account sales.
The role
We're looking for an Advertising Sales Executive to join our team, selling advertising space across our Hampshire editions to local businesses. You'll build your own patch, get to know the businesses in it, and help them see real results from advertising in a magazine their customers actually read. This is a relationship-led sales role, not a hard-sell one — you'll be helping small and medium businesses grow, month after month.
What you'll be doing
- Generating and following up new business leads across your territory by phone/face-to-face
- Managing and growing a portfolio of existing advertisers, renewing and upselling where it adds value
- Understanding each client's business and matching them to the right package, edition, and placement
- Hitting monthly sales targets and keeping accurate records of pipeline and activity
- Spotting opportunities to cross-sell into our wider Footprint Group services
- Representing Forget Me Not Publications professionally in the local community
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- A confident communicator who's comfortable on the phone and meeting clients in person
- Sales experience is an advantage, but attitude and work ethic matter more than a CV

- Genuinely interested in local businesses, knowing the local area and the community you'll be selling into is an advantage
- Organised, with good attention to detail when managing your own client base
- A strong background in telesales is preferred, with confidence in outbound calling and building rapport with prospective clients.
