Due to growth of the business, this creative advertising and media agency is looking to hire a new Account Manager with relevant advertising experience in servicing SEO and PPC accounts. Ideally from an agency background but relevant in-house also considered.

Will suit someone with excellent client services skills and ability to plan and manage accounts with PPC and SEO at their heart. You dont need to be doing the PPC and SEO but you do need to understand it and be able to prepare and sell in proposals working with the team. And have an eye for sales opportunities and sell that in to clients. So a growth mindset would be really good for this.

You will work in an in-office team delivering creative and omni media digital and traditional advertising campaigns. As a core client service individual you will need leadership and proposal writing strategy skills as well as have a natural attention to detail and the positivity and confidence to make campaigns happen and grow your client base. You will be very happy dealing with clients and colleagues ensuing excellent customer service relationships and helping to achieve growth for the agency.

As such this role will suit a Senior Advertising Account Executive looking for that next step up and to take slightly more responsibility for their work in digital media and creative communication fulfilment, as well as being already well versed in client service, management and budget control. Or an existing Account Manager. Whatever you will be familiar with PPC, SEO and associated digital media channels. For either you will probably already be working for an agency or come from an in-house environment but fulfilling a very similar role.

This role calls for an individual who is confident, passionate and dedicated and someone who will quickly be a driving face of the agency with great ability to spot opportunities and sell them in, as well as have the ability to form close client relationships. You will also need drive, resilience and the ability to take teams and clients on a journey.
