Morning: Review your pipeline and prioritise outreach for the day. Check campaign pacing for live accounts and flag any upsell or renewal opportunities. Prepare tailored pitch materials for upcoming agency or advertiser meetings.

Mid-morning: Join a team stand-up to share wins, blockers, and market intelligence. Collaborate with a colleague on a joint pitch strategy for a shared agency partner.

Late morning: Lead a pitch to a media agency's AV/digital investment team, presenting a Streaming TV + Audio solution aligned to their client's brand awareness objectives.

Mid-afternoon: Partner with a Vertical Sales Specialist to build a bespoke proposal for a high-potential advertiser, combining Prime Video Ads with programmatic display via the DSP.

Late afternoon: Update your CRM with deal progress, log inputs, and review weekly metrics against targets. Identify areas to improve conversion rates and plan tomorrow's priorities.
