At Stahr Media, we’re laid-back, easygoing and genuinely fun people! We don’t have a lot of rules and regulations because you’re an adult, and if you’ve made it far enough through the process that we add you to our team, we’re confident that you are responsible.

While we don’t offer insurance or retirement packages, you’ll find flexible hours, a relaxed work environment and a commitment to the important things in life: family and friends, mental and physical wellness, and community involvement.

Key results areas for all employees include communicating with Stahr Media managers and agents to resolve unique client issues and concerns; establishing strong customer relationships while servicing current accounts for maximum client satisfaction; and continuously striving to develop skills and knowledge in order to remain informed and up to date with regards to industry-related news and product knowledge.

When hiring, we look for someone who exhibits the following qualities:

• Tech-savvy and a quick learner.
• Self-starter, with ability and motivation to complete tasks confidently and independently.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• High-level customer service.
• Sense of humor and sarcasm. (This is a must!)
• Trustworthiness. Will be required to sign confidentiality, non-disclosure and/or non-compete agreements.
• Willingness to grow with our business.

So you want to work with Stahr Media? Here’s what you might be able to help us with:

Storyteller

Everyone has a story; can you help them tell it? Our next Storyteller will be able to talk to anyone. You will have casual conversations with guests on camera as the host of our local video podcast. Off camera you will maintain a strong visual presence in the community to share positive news and events through articles, photos and videos.

Graphic Designer & Web Developer

If you have an eye for digital media design, and excel at technology and marketing, you don’t have to move to the big city to find your next role. Our agency, based in Rock Falls, provides downtown Chicago atmosphere and services close to home. You’ll never be bored while working on a wide variety of projects — from websites, billboards, social media content and program catalogs to business cards and forms — always striving to go above and beyond for every single client.

Production Assistant

Are you always willing to jump in and help, and love learning new things? If you never want two days to be the same, this may be the role for you! Sometimes you’ll be helping with sound checks and setting up the studio. Sometimes you’ll be assisting at a video or photo shoot. Sometimes you’ll be making minor edits to websites and graphic design projects. And there is so much more! We promise you will go home every evening feeling valued and accomplished!

Marketing Representative

Are you passionate about local businesses and love making connections? Our next Marketing Rep will help area businesses grow by selling digital advertising and sponsorship packages for our two local news websites. You’ll spend your days meeting with business owners, learning their stories, and crafting marketing plans that work. If you’re outgoing, goal-driven, and excited to make a difference in your community, we want to meet you!
