The Role

We’re looking for a bright, ambitious Account Manager to join our successful independent advertising and creative agency.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll get genuine client contact, real responsibility and exposure to a broad range of projects spanning advertising, branding, design, packaging, digital, social and integrated campaigns.

Skills & Experience

• 3+ years’ agency experience , ideally within an advertising, creative, design or integrated agency
• Confident dealing directly with clients and building strong relationships
• Well organised, commercially aware and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Good understanding of the creative process and how an agency works
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail
• Proactive, with the ability to think for yourself rather than simply following a process
