Senior Account Manager

This integrated marketing agency, set on the outskirts of Brum, has been quietly beavering away in the background, not showing off, enanling them to grow & grow in a considered and sensible manner. They aren’t the biggest or flashiest, but with them you’ll find a grounded culture full of people from different backgrounds which has proven to be really successful and resulted in a very low staff turnover.

Without question, they are always growing, exploring, achieving, and looking to innovate, and can offer someone the opportunity to work on a genuine mix of eclectic businesses that will help your career grow & develop.

The role:

Like so many, this agency’s roots are in print but it’s so much more than that now, an agency offering brilliant marketing solutions for their clients, which cover many different sectors, but with an emphasis on b2b.

You’ll be working closely with your designated AD, who is vastly experienced, and the creative studio on several large, established clients from day one. You’ll be attending client meetings to review campaigns or to work on new projects, from the ground up. You’ll be involved from ideation, to briefing the studio and working with creatives to come up with innovative and exciting solutions to briefs.

The existing team are extremely knowledgeable in their field and bring a wealth of experience to their clients, meaning you can rely on them fully for true marketing support. Projects will vary but may include brand and literature based projects, photography and videography briefs, through to packaging. You’d also be working across social media planning and campaign management as well as wider digital & web focused projects.

What we’re looking for:

We need someone who has true integrated experience in marketing, from either an agency or client side, although the absolute preference for this role would be for someone with both. You're ideally at Senior Account Manager level already or an AM ready for the step up , but most important you’ll have a real understanding of how marketing can impact a client’s position in their market & be happy in a mid-sized setting.

You’ll be used to briefing complex projects, either to an agency or directly to creatives and then managing them daily. Creation of marketing plans and strategic planning documents experience is required as is the know-how of controlling the seamless process of projects through a design studio.

You’ll also have sound knowledge of digital design and social media and exposure to print based campaigns (although as experts, there is a huge amount of experience in this discipline in the agency, already) to produce marketing brand focused collateral.

What’s on offer?

Salary for the role is c£35,000 with a bonus structure in place, and they also have beautiful offices and a relaxed working environment. The role is offered on a hybrid basis, although during your probationary period you are expected to be within the office.

This is an opportunity for the right candidate to play a leading role in shaping their clients’ work and working with the studio team to offer excellent creative solutions to help shape the future of the agency. There’s also plenty of options for internal progression and to take on additional responsibilities.
