Culturally the agency has an open and respectful culture with a horizontal structure.

The Senior Account Director role

The agency is seeking a Senior Account Director who is ambitious. They are after a passionate self-starter!

The Senior Account Director will be handling two highly creative UK based accounts.

The first is a lifestyle account that is a relatively new win for the agency. The brand is having to work hard on a smaller budget than its competitors in a highly competitive category. As a result, creative is "all" and the agency delivers big 360 campaigns a couple of times a year with a lot of ATL stuff. This is a great account on which to get close to the brand and see how creative can work hard to make it punch above its weight.

The Senior Account Director will be managing a small, friendly account team with lots of headroom and autonomy in a supportive environment.

The second account is a long-standing client that is completely integrated and spans the whole agency offering. The work is incredibly varied and the projects can include everything from full 360 campaigns, to digital transformation, to brand repositioning and research. It's an account that gives great exposure at all stages of the project allowing the Senior Account Director to foster strong client relationships.

There is a strong team culture and everyone is supportive and extremely friendly with a lot of socialising outside the agency.

The agency's creative expectations for both accounts are very high and the Senior Account Director will be managing a restless team always looking for the best possible idea and pushing the work to be as good as it can possibly be.

Collaborating with senior agency and client staff, the Senior Account Director needs to be able to take the lead in strategic and creative conversations with clients who are bright, challenging and inspiring.

Account handling at the agency is of a high calibre and they see themselves as creating an entrepreneurial environment for brilliant work to flourish in.

The role would suit a Senior Account Director who not only wants to handle great work, but also wants to get their career on track. The agency is buttoned down when it comes to growing its talent in-house. All the Senior Account Directors have clear up to date objectives and progression plans.

The agency has an excellent mentoring scheme and offers bespoke training programmes and one-to-one coaching in order to move people up to the next level.
