We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands. Creativity is at the forefront of everything we do.

As Account Director, you'll be a key member of our client services team, working collaboratively with our creatives and strategists to deliver fully integrated marketing campaigns for major international brands. You'll have spent time in marketing/advertising agencies, but it’s your can-do attitude and approach we’re interested in.

Beyond this, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to getting the job done, across on and offline channels, from initial concept to execution. You’re great at managing multiple projects under pressure, getting the team organised and ensuring everything is running smoothly.

Minimum Requirements

• Experience scoping out budgets for high profile clients.
• Experience growing new and existing clients.
• Experience building long lasting and successful relationships.
• Experience working within an integrated agency in a client-facing leadership role.

Further Knowledge And Experience

• You've got brilliant integrated marketing experience – preferably TVC – with an ability to shape campaigns that work across all touch points.
• You're someone clients instantly warm to, with an ability to quickly establish rapport, trust and collaborative relationships.
• You're a networker. There's huge opportunity to develop and grow your client portfolio, so the ability to network across a business is crucial.
• You know how to take a brief, shape it with our planning team & ensure that the creative team nails the execution.
• You're adept at working with an array of different brands, from start-up companies to household national and international names.
• You're excited about helping us shape a new role and deliver groundbreaking work.

Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary, we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to take additional fully paid leave, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.

A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry-leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.

Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. We believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
