Leuk bedrijf om te starten - Business Development Manager Mediaplanet Employee Review

Great place to get real, hands-on experience quickly. You’re not stuck doing busy work — you’re actually managing projects, working cross-functionally, and learning how media, sales, and editorial all come together. Leadership is energetic, supportive, and genuinely invested in developing talent. If you’re motivated and proactive, there’s a lot of opportunity to grow and take on more responsibility early in your career.

The pace can be intense, and it’s definitely not a role where you can coast. It requires strong organization and the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once. The structure can feel rigid at times, especially when you’re learning the systems and processes.

Strong commission structure with high earning potential; top performers are able to achieve six-figure incomes. The sales process is highly creative and collaborative, involving partnerships with celebrities, influencers, and organizations to develop meaningful content for sponsors. Exposure to a variety of industries each quarter keeps the role dynamic and provides opportunities to expand knowledge, build new relationships, and develop professionally across multiple sectors. The office environment is collaborative and team-oriented, with ongoing strategy discussions, cross-functional meetings, and strong access to management for guidance and support. The role does not require traditional cold calling, allowing sales efforts to focus more on relationship-building and strategic outreach. The company provides a variety of snacks, lunches, and catered meals, which contributes to a positive and engaging office culture.

Everyone starts entry level, and employees often determine early on whether a sales career is the right fit for them. However, for strong performers, there is significant opportunity for rapid advancement into senior or managerial positions. As with any sales position, underperformance can create both internal and external pressure, which may be challenging for some individuals. Because the role spans multiple industries and topics, the experience can vary significantly depending on the campaign focus—for example, working within the pharmaceutical sector may feel very different from working in education or lifestyle-focused initiatives.
