Union Street Media
Union Street Media seeks a Digital Advisor to join our team. Union Street Media is the top real estate digital marketing firm in the country, providing custom digital marketing solutions and high-performing websites for real estate brokers, teams and agents throughout the U.S.
Get in With a Great Team:
- We’re a tenacious team of talented strategists with extensive experience taking real estate businesses to the next level. We’re growing and want you to grow with us
- Our vision is to be real estate’s most trusted digital marketing company. We provide custom digital marketing solutions and award-winning websites for real estate professionals who are unique in the industry.
- Our mission is to connect real estate professionals to their clients through remarkable online experiences that ensure they stand out. Through personalized guidance and innovation, we create relationships that open new doors.
- At Union Street Media, we believe in independence, in real and genuine relationships, and that real estate agents are the future. Most importantly, at Union Street Media, you’ll have a voice. We value everyone’s opinion and from company-wide goal-setting to crowdsourcing product ideas, collaboration is in our DNA.
The Digital Advisor is focused on ensuring the long-term success of assigned clients, increasing the lifetime value of our customers, and creating customer cheerleaders for Union Street Media. Additionally, the Digital Advisor interfaces with clients as a digital marketing subject matter expert, on the phone, via email, via videoconference, and in-person, learning their business, helping to educate them on the value of their digital presence, presenting recommendations to improve performance against their goals, and answering questions as they arise. This position requires an in-depth understanding of the most effective media tactics for real estate clients (both organic, of which their website is a key piece, and paid) and an ability to effectively communicate with them.
Most of your time in this role is spent on outreach to current clients: reviewing their digital performance and use of products and services to which they’re already subscribed, making recommendations to help them achieve their business goals, and triaging incoming requests. You will work closely with others to brainstorm strategy, perform market and competitive research, troubleshoot issues, and compile analytics and reporting using internal and third-party tools (ex. Salesforce, Google Analytics, SpyFu, etc.).
As part of the Client Success department, the Digital Advisor will work closely with Account Strategists in Sales to share insights from client conversations on possible upsell opportunities. They will also collaborate with the entire sales team on how to more efficiently upsell existing customers, close deals, and improve customer loyalty. With the real estate tech industry growing steadily, there is no shortage of opportunities to make this a long and lasting career choice in a fast-paced and friendly atmosphere.
The ideal Digital Advisor is a highly motivated, customer service-oriented problem solver who understands how to build strong relationships and grow customer success. Due to the nature of the real estate industry, this is not a “9 to 5” gig: you’ll be expected to adjust your schedule to meet with clients as it fits their schedule, including traveling in person to meet with them. Our team fosters professional growth.
