Digital Account Director
Digital Account Director
- Leading Network Media Agency
- Global Tier 1 Clients
- Fantastic culture & benefits structure
- Central London
- Salary: £50,000- £60,000 per annum
One of my clients, a highly regarded digital agency with a global footprint, is looking to build out its client leadership team with a new Account Director who has the ability to speak all things digital to a high level. This role will involve taking lead on a portfolio of Tier 1 clients who are household names around the world, ensuring they are being serviced to the highest level.
The agency themselves sit in a very interesting position slightly different to most in their space. They are true leaders in their specialism and this is clearly evident from the mounds of evidence they have from case studies on their website and awards attained in the industry. Having personally worked with them both in the US and in the UK, I can first-hand attest to their fantastic culture and the way they always look to get the best out of their staff.
So who are they looking for? Naturally as this role sits within their client leadership function, you’ll be the main point of contact with the clients for queries, discussions about channels and performance so experience doing so in a previous role is absolutely vital. From a channel perspective, Display, Social and Programmatic experience from a strategical/planning perspective is very beneficial to succeed in this role – activation experience is also strong, but really they’re looking for someone who is more top line rather than being stuck in platform.
The role will involve managing a team, nurturing their development and being a point of escalation for them with clients so experience having managed a team previously is also highly preferred. An understanding of the digital landscape is also very useful in this position alongside any experience pitching for new business!
If you’re working within the digital media landscape and you want a role where you can really get stuck into your clients needs and business goals with a strong skillset in strengthening client relationships then this may be a very exciting role for you!
