Who we are

We exist because we saw a gap in the market. A gap between ideas and measurement. Anyone can have a good idea, but they don’t necessarily know how to measure it. Conversely, just because you can measure things, it’s no guarantee you can have good ideas. Well, we do both.

We’re the free-thinking media agency giving every client the best in Heart, Art and Science, to craft creative media ideas that deliver, with the means to measure them effectively. And because we’re independent, we enjoy the freedom to work with clients we love, in ways that work best for both of us. Because great relationships drive better results.

We’re a team of creative thinkers, professional doers and clever data people united by a culture of going above and beyond for our clients and each other. With a team of over 90 media specialists and growing, The Kite Factory has seen exponential growth, celebrated award-winning work, and welcomed multiple new clients in recent years, including WhiteClaw, Crisis, Skin+Me, Anthony Nolan and Sekonda. We are also proud to be ranked as one of Campaign’s Best Places to Work, as well as holding IPA Platinum status for our dedication to learning and development.

What we are looking for

We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Account Director to join our dynamic client services team. Our Account Directors are the key to our Client Management team, consisting of brilliant individuals that have a passion and enthusiasm to understand their client’s business needs and challenges and to work collaboratively to deliver exceptional outcomes.

Crucially, we are looking for a performance specialist someone to further enhance our expertise across both the commercial and charity sectors. The successful candidate will have the ability to demonstrate how they have planned and managed successful campaigns in these fields. That is not to say that we are looking for a one-trick pony. We are looking for someone who shares our philosophy that there are many ways to deliver growth for clients and can operate throughout the funnel to create ideas that deliver.

In this role you will need to quickly establish positive relationships with clients, lead and develop a talented team, and oversee the strategic direction of your accounts whilst championing innovation and creativity. We are seeking an individual who can effectively balance leadership responsibilities with hands on involvement in campaign strategy planning, delivery, and analysis.

Your role

Your client set will be a mix of charities, travel, and retail. You will be the key liaison between our agency and client leads, building and maintaining strong client/agency relationships to ensure that our client’s needs are met, and they receive the highest levels of service.

Your day-to-day role will involve directly managing a team, ensuring that all deliverables meet our high standards of quality and attention to detail. In addition to overseeing your team, you will be the primary point of contact for clients, collaborating closely with the strategy and insight team, AV team and digital teams to provide strategic direction and guidance to achieve exceptional outcomes for our clients.

Internally you will be responsible for managing budgets and forecasting ensuring that agency resourcing is in line with contractual agreements and that we deliver on their KPI’s and objectives. You will play a crucial role in supporting the training and development of your team working closely with our Head of Client Services to foster a culture of growth and learning within the agency.

Skills and experience

The successful candidate will:

• Demonstrate strong leadership ability and be approachable, in turn gaining the respect of the team.

• Have strong attention to detail and numerical ability, with the ability to use data to craft compelling arguments
