Looking to build relationships with brands?
This role is about more than making a sale. It is about opening conversations that can turn into long-term partnerships.
Who We Are
For over 40 years, Lookad has been the largest independent media agency in Eastern India, with deep expertise in media buying, planning and releasing. Our work is about helping brands reach the right audience, in the right place, at the right price.

Four decades of media experience. A long track record that clients recognise.
One agency, every medium. Press, TV, radio, digital, social and programmatic, all under one roof.

Long-standing partnerships. Many clients have worked with us for over 20 years.
Close monitoring. Our TV ad monitoring helps clients make the most of their media spend.
The Role
We are looking for a motivated Business Development Manager to bring new brands and large advertisers into the Lookad family. This is a new business role focused on identifying prospects, pitching to them and converting them into clients.
What You'll Do
Identify and pursue new business opportunities across sectors, from growing regional businesses to large national brands and advertisers.
Prepare clear, well-researched pitch decks that show how Lookad can support a brand.
Work in the field: make calls, visit prospects, set up meetings and present to them.
Understand each prospect's business, audience and goals, and recommend the right media mix.
Build a healthy pipeline and convert it into long-term client relationships.
Report directly to the Directors and work closely with the leadership team.
What You'll Bring
An MBA is preferred, though ability and attitude matter more than the degree.
Fluency in Bengali, Hindi and English.
Comfort with cold calling, walk-ins and face-to-face meetings.
Experience in advertising sales, especially press and TV, is a plus.
Familiarity with the marketing teams of businesses in Eastern India will be helpful.
Experienced candidates are preferred, though motivated freshers are welcome to apply.
What You'll Get
The opportunity to work directly with our Directors and learn from their experience.
Exposure to real pitches with established brands.
Career growth linked to performance.
Competitive pay plus performance-based variables.
Is This You?
You take initiative in finding new leads, stay persistent through rejection and enjoy the process of pitching and closing. You would like to see your work appear in newspapers and on TV screens across the country.
Apply through LinkedIn.
