Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

High-paced media advertising sales, airtime monetization, and corporate client acquisition for Doordarshan (DD) and Akashvani (All India Radio) networks across regional and metro stations. Marketing Executives are responsible for driving Direct Sales revenue, conducting B2B corporate market visits, preparing customized pitch decks and commercial airtime proposals, negotiating sponsorship deals with media agencies and FMCG/retail/government advertisers, executing commercial traffic schedules, tracking broadcast logs, monitoring sales projections in weekly MIS, and coordinating timely billing and payment collections with finance divisions. Dynamic corporate sales environment with demanding quarterly revenue targets and local travel for client meetings.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Purely contractual engagement initially for a tenure of 2 years, with annual performance appraisals and scope for extension based on organizational requirements and achievement of sales targets. Governed by a 30-day notice period for termination from either side. Does not confer any right or claim to regular appointment or permanent absorption in Prasar Bharati.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Contractual corporate sales cadre; no statutory promotional ladder. However, direct commercial media sales experience representing India's national broadcaster (Doordarshan & Akashvani) provides exceptional corporate exit opportunities as Senior Media Planners, Brand Solutions Managers, Key Account Managers, and Ad-Sales Directors in leading private television networks (Zee, Star, Sony), radio networks (Radio Mirchi, Red FM), and digital OTT media conglomerates.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Strict Online Application Portal: Applications must be submitted online exclusively through the official Prasar Bharati recruitment portal (https://avedan.prasarbharati.org) within 15 days of release; offline or emailed resumes will be summarily rejected.
  • Document Upload Mandate: Candidates must upload clear, self-attested scanned copies of MBA/PGDM degree certificates, mark sheets, age proof, and employer experience certificates verifying at least 1 year of direct B2B/B2C sales experience; incomplete uploads lead to instant rejection without intimation.
  • Media Sales Advantage: Candidates with prior work experience in media sales, broadcast ad sales, radio spots, print advertising, or digital marketing agency sales will receive decisive preference during shortlisting.
  • Local Station Posting & Language: Applicants should note the specific station locations across India and possess working fluency in English as well as the respective regional language of the station.
