Account Management

PLACED: Account Supervisor, $80-90K, San Francisco

Help brands lead Culture, not follow it.

You’ll lead. You’ll inspire. You’ll grow. You’ll do all those things for both the agency and the client.

This shop is bringing to life the heart of sport’s global appeal. They’re bringing streaming music to the masses. They’ve created an athletic shoe designed for a fictitious insurance agent to network programming that was sold to TNT. They’re re-designing a State Seal as they’re completely changing the look of the state’s basketball team. They’re making health care meaningful to 20-somethings. They’re creating a documentary on one of this Country’s most misunderstood Presidents. They do all of this and then some.

To be a success, your clients will value you and view you as a strategic partner critical to the success of their marketing and advertising challenges. They will look to you for guidance and counsel. Your team will respect you, and they will like you. They’ll appreciate that you help them grow and develop. You’ll spend your time with a proudly diverse crew…in backgrounds, accents, and fiercely held personal passions. Unapologetically ambitious, but also a tight-knit team, they are, in every sense of the word, independent – not beholden to anyone else’s agenda and not a pawn on the chessboard of some communications conglomerate.

The Account Supervisor is responsible for overall agency service and activities on one or more accounts, as well as daily coordination with NYC staff. The AS will also work towards building strong, lasting client relationships based on progress in achieving the clients’ integrated marketing objectives with efficiency – resulting in profit for the agency. You are alert and aware of opportunities to grow accounts, able to provide clients with unsolicited, team-generated ideas on improving their business. You assume a leadership role in the preparation/execution of client meetings and effectively manage the production process, ensuring the utilization of appropriate agency departments. Please have 5+ years of agency/communications experience that provides an understanding of advertising, marketing, media, creative, production, PR, research, agency finance, etc.
