Advertising Account Executive at Comcast – Market Retail in MD with $66K-$99K Base Pay

A remote advertising account executive builds and retains a revenue portfolio by understanding a local market, prospecting, diagnosing client goals, proposing suitable media, negotiating terms and reporting outcomes without overstating attribution. “Remote” often still means residence in a defined territory plus client travel. Verify any Comcast or Effectv requisition, Maryland eligibility, quota, commission plan and current base range on the official careers site; the prior $66K–$99K headline is not a live promise.

What to verify

• The official employer requisition, business unit, assigned market, permitted residence, office cadence and expected client travel.
• Base, commission, quota, accelerators, caps, draw, clawbacks, crediting, ramp period and payment timing in the written plan.
• Product inventory, audience definitions, measurement methods, minimum commitments, contract authority and handoff responsibilities.
• Whether a proposed performance claim is supported and appropriately qualified; FTC says advertising must be truthful, non-deceptive and evidence-based.
• The live pay range and posting date. Remove historical Comcast figures unless labeled as a dated example and still useful.

Create a claim ledger with the claim, direct URL, source owner, publication/update date, access date, scope or jurisdiction, confidence and unresolved question. Recheck volatile facts on release day. When the evidence does not establish a condition, state “not established” rather than filling the gap.

Evidence or implementation framework

• Build a market map using public business categories, seasonality, customer problems and media fit; do not scrape or expose personal contact data.
• Model pipeline backward from quota using average deal size, win rate, sales cycle and retention. Label assumptions and show sensitivity rather than certainty.
• Use a discovery structure: business objective, audience, prior activity, budget, timing, constraints, success definition and decision process.
• Prepare a proposal matrix connecting each recommendation to an audience or business need, cost, measurement plan, limitation and next decision.
• Create a case study with context, diagnostic insight, ethical recommendation, execution coordination, reported signal and attribution caveat. Anonymize client details.

For every example use context, responsibility, method or control, observable result, limitation and verifier. Separate fact, scenario and inference. Remove confidential employer, client, candidate, health, security or financial data. A smaller defensible example is more useful than a large unverified claim.

Practical application or implementation steps

1. Locate and save the official requisition. Confirm whether the role is field-based, remote, hybrid or tied to a Maryland market.
2. Prepare a 30-day territory hypothesis and a 90-day learning plan rather than claiming an existing book of business you do not own.
3. Write two prospecting messages and a ten-question discovery guide tailored to the advertised product set.
4. Ask the recruiter for the complete compensation mechanics and realistic ramp expectations, not only on-target earnings.
5. Verify the offer and onboarding portal. Never send money or bank details before a genuine interview and written offer.

A useful first-hour output is one completed evidence matrix or decision table. Include a stop condition: an unverified source, unclear scope, inaccessible mandatory step, sensitive-data exposure or a conclusion that reverses under reasonable assumptions.

Safety, accessibility and trust

Do not invent client results, imply causation from correlation or reuse confidential rate cards, proposals and contact lists. FTC standards apply across channels. Candidates should clearly distinguish a planned measurement approach from a guaranteed outcome. Use independently reached official domains. Never pay an individual for recruitment, equipment, training, identity checks or account recovery; never share passwords, one-time codes or unrestricted identity files. Provide keyboard-accessible controls, clear headings, descriptive links and text alternatives. Material medical, legal, tax, employment, privacy or security decisions require accountable qualified review.

Engagement checklist

The reader should leave able to state the current answer in one sentence, identify three relevant factors and two unknowns, save at least four direct sources with dates, complete one evidence or decision row, name a safety or methodology stop condition and choose one next step plus review date. Measure purposeful checklist completion rather than raw scrolling.

FAQ

Is a remote advertising AE fully location independent?

Often no. The role may require residence in a territory, local client visits and periodic office activity. Verify the posting.

What should I ask about commission?

Ask about quota, ramp, crediting, accelerators, caps, clawbacks, renewals, cancellations, payment timing and attainment distribution.

How do I show results without client data?

Anonymize the organization and use approved, aggregated evidence. State the measurement method and attribution limit.

Do I need a degree?

BLS says entry requirements vary and sales and communication skills are central. The official employer requirements control for a specific role.
