Sales Lead — Branded Micro-Drama Partnerships

About the Role

We are building a dedicated branded micro-drama partnership business focused on selling brand-integrated short-form serialized drama formats to FMCG, D2C, and lifestyle brands.

The role involves managing end-to-end relationships with brand marketers and creative agencies, pitching micro-drama integrations from concept creation to commercial closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Own monthly revenue targets across micro-drama integrations, branded series, and IP partnerships
  

• Build and manage a strong network of brand and agency relationships from day one
  

• Handle the complete sales cycle:
  
  Outreach → Concept Pitch → Script & Integration Brief → Commercial Closure → Production Handover
  

• Drive category narrative-building by educating marketers on the impact of micro-drama storytelling in terms of engagement, recall, and watch-time
  

• Maintain forecast accuracy, CRM discipline, and pipeline hygiene
  

• Focus on renewals and account expansion for long-term partnerships

• Strong active relationships with brands and agencies across FMCG, D2C, beauty, healthcare, mom/baby, or lifestyle categories
  

• Ability to secure client meetings within short turnaround timelines
  

• Experience pitching long-form branded content, OTT integrations, web series, branded entertainment, micro-drama, or similar storytelling-led formats
  

• Strong consultative selling ability with experience selling concepts/IPs instead of just media inventory
  

• Strong commercial acumen in pricing IPs, structuring multi-quarter deals, and planning activation calendars
  

• Ability to ramp up quickly with visible pipeline generation in Month 1 and revenue closures from Month 2
