Area Director / Marketing & Advertising

CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY

Glancer® is built for today's fast-paced suburban marketplace. As we continue to expand our award-winning brand, Glancer® invites entrepreneurial professionals to be a part of our innovative and effective hyper-local media platform.

Area Directors will enjoy all of the benefits and rewards that an entreprenuerial position in local media and marketing delivers such as flexibility to spend time with family & friends, an award-winning local marketing concept and the support of your community, as well as working 100% remote. This position is ideal for an outgoing and personable community enthusiast who loves helping small to medium-size businesses thrive in the local marketplace.

Operating since 2006, the Glancer® brand is trusted and widely recognized in Chicagoland's west suburban marketplace with a digital subscription-based magazine, daily website, local business directory and high performing social media channels embraced and loved by the community. In addition to the local media platform that local businesses know and trust, Glancer® has a local marketing division that helps small to medium-sized business looking to expand with digital marketing options that are not a part of our magazine platform. This includes SEO, Website Design, Social Media Marketing and more, giving Area Directors a wide variety of local offerings.

​Area Directors operate their own territory-specific local media and marketing platform by building community relationships and ad partnerships, generating both advertising and marketing revenue monthly. Territories are county-based and multiple territories are available within specified regions. Each relies on the support of the Glancer® in-house Digital Support Team to complete each monthly issue including editorial, photography, ad layout, design and web updates based on the annual monthly theme schedule, with web content updated collaboratively daily and weekly using a simplified remote system. Our process is effective and efficient, with systems streamlined and accurate, allowing Area Directors to focus on what they do best– building their business by being present in the marketplace and helping businesses gain exposure locally. ​

Glancer® uses an innovative inner-circle target marketing approach. Each geo-targeted local media platform has a primary demographic of women ages 30-65, the most influential consumer in today’s local marketplace. She then shares it with her friends and family, making Glancer® part of her inner circle, resulting in higher exposure for our pages, website and social media channels.

Each hyper-local media platform features the best in community living– the hottest events, arts + entertainment, dining + cabaret, society + celebrity, health + wellness, style + beauty, charity, history and more including breaking news, giving Glancer® ad partners the opportunity to reach area consumers effectively. Our hyper-local ad program is ideal for all types of businesses and provides many inclusions, setting it above other local media options. With many unique elements built into the Glancer® platform, it is an unparalleled digital daily, weekly and monthly format like none other in today's local marketplace.

​Area Directors enjoy a career they love, providing them with flexibility, inspiration and creativity, while connecting with the community they call home. Glancer® is a local marketplace leader and residents love all that it delivers from month to month....and all week long.

Glancer® is the next generation of local media. Join our team of Area Director's today and let the community leader in your SHINE!
