Account Manager
You’re ready to grow your client service career, here’s a great place to do it.
You know who you are, you’ve worked hard to learn the ins and outs of navigating a client’s needs. Now you’re ready to step up to more responsibility, expand your leadership skills and move towards executing your vision.
You have a job and happy where you are, but want more responsibility, to get better at what you do. Maybe you want to work, where your work can be noticed and appreciated more.
You realize and like how advertising helps companies grow, hire more people and do more good things for their communities. You know your skill and detail help make that possible.
You show up every morning ready to tackle the day. For you, clear communication, accuracy, detail, and follow-through are standard. It’s the way you were brought up. You know the job is about expanding the client’s brand, it’s not about the agency. If that’s not you…well, there are other companies where you will be happier.
Good. Glad you’re still reading.
