Key Account Sales Manager (Advertising)

About Young Hats

We're Young Hats — a full-service advertising and media agency built to take a brand from the first big idea all the way to the streets, screens, and shelves where people actually live.

We work across the entire spectrum: out-of-home and DOOH, BTL and on-ground activations, hyperlocal and RWA/society branding, transit and cinema, retail, events, radio, TV, print, and digital. That range means we don't just hand over a campaign — we plan it, produce it, place it, and run it on the ground, end to end.

We've crafted campaigns for some of the biggest names out there — Zomato, Blinkit, Swiggy, Zepto, Narayana Health, Reliance Retail, Manipal Group, LeverageEdu, Oxfam India, and many more.

And we don't just buy media — we built the platform that plans it. Young Hats runs its own proprietary AI media-planning platform, live at younghats.in. It pairs an interactive map with an AI planning assistant, so a media plan that used to take days of back-and-forth now comes together in a single workspace — search inventory across cities and formats, build the plan visually, and generate a client-ready proposal on the spot. Behind it sits a full operations layer that takes a campaign from proposal to on-ground execution without anything falling through the cracks.

At Young Hats, we don't just create ads — we craft experiences that leave a lasting impression. Whether it's a quirky social campaign, a citywide OOH takeover, a retail activation, or a full-blown TV commercial, we put our hearts and souls into everything we do.
