Business Development Manager

Modern Mining and Electricity + Control

An exciting new position has been created at Crown Publications for a driven and commercially minded Business Development Manager with experience in advertising sales and magazine publishing to lead advertising sales across two of South Africa’s most important industrial sectors: mining and electricity, automation and control.

Crown reaches these critical industries through its respected flagship titles, Modern Mining and Electricity + Control - trusted platforms connecting suppliers, engineers, project leaders and decision-makers across the value chain.

Why this role is exciting

Mining and the electrical & control sectors are evolving rapidly. Energy transition, digitalisation, smart technologies, compliance pressures and infrastructure development are reshaping the landscape.

These industries need more than traditional advertising.

They need:

• Innovative marketing avenues
• Strategic content partnerships
• Integrated digital campaigns
• Cross platform brand visibility
• Measurable audience engagement

This role offers the opportunity to help industrial brands market themselves more intelligently and more effectively while driving revenue growth in two resilient, high-value sectors.

The opportunity

The successful candidate will:

• Drive advertising revenue across Modern Mining and Electricity + Control
• Develop and grow strategic client relationships
• Create innovative and integrated media solutions
• Identify new commercial opportunities and revenue streams
• Position Crown as the preferred media partner in both industries

This is not simply an advertising sales role - it is a business development position with scope, influence and long-term growth potential.

What we offer

• Competitive basic salary plus commission
• The opportunity to make the position your own and shape its growth trajectory
• The backing of a respected publishing house with over 40 years of industry stability and credibility
• Established brands with loyal, niche audiences
• A platform for ambitious, entrepreneurial thinking

Crown Publications has been part of South Africa’s industrial media landscape for four decades. This stability provides a strong foundation - but the new role is about building the next phase of growth.

If you are commercially driven, relationship-focused and excited by the challenge of helping industrial brands find innovative avenues for marketing, we would like to hear from you.

Join a company with history. Build a role with future.
