We’re on the hunt for an Account Executive who’s ready to get stuck in, learn fast and help make brilliant work happen. Whether you’re new to the industry or already have a bit of experience, we’d love to hear from you.
So, what’s Account Handling all about?
It’s the link between clients and the wider agency. You’ll be the go-between – taking client briefs, keeping projects on track, and making sure everything runs smoothly, on time and on budget. They create the environment where great ideas happen. It’s a great role if you want to work in a creative environment but don’t necessarily see yourself as a creative in the traditional sense.
You’ll need:
- People skills: you’ll work with a whole mix of people – clients, creatives, designers, producers. Knowing how to build relationships and get the best out of everyone is key.
- Organisational skills: projects can get complex fast. You’ll need to stay on top of what’s happening now and what’s happening next.
- Communication skills: you’ll be sharing updates, managing expectations and keeping everyone in the loop.
- Resilience: not everything goes to plan – but you keep your cool, stay positive and crack on.
What does a typical day look like?
- Attending client meetings
- Briefing creatives
- Booking in resources and setting up meetings
- Creating timelines and tracking budgets
- Supporting senior team members
- Doing your homework – from market research to competitive reviews
- Sitting in on creative reviews and getting a feel for how big ideas get made
