Insight Marketing Design: Account Executive
Insight Marketing Design is poised for growth and we’re looking for an Account Executive to add to our team. An Account Executive acts as the liaison between clients and the inner agency workings, advocating for their needs, communicating the creative essence of our work, and advising their clients about multichannel marketing efforts. The Account Executive is responsible for maintaining and growing existing client relationships as well as nurturing new business leads into successful client connections. As a “manager of relationships”, the ability to work and play well with others is vital. Our ideal candidate will have prior experience working in marketing and managing client relationships. Must be organized and able to manage time effectively.
What We Do
Insight is a full-service advertising agency – which means we provide a full gamut of services. Branding, design, video production, web development, research, strategy, digital and social – yeah, we have a lot of hats and we wear them often.
What You’ll Do
Develop and communicate not only the “what” but the “why.” After plans are developed and presented to clients, the Account Executive is responsible for carrying out the plan on a daily basis. You’ll maintain regular communication with agency clients. You’ll present new ideas and new opportunities. You’ll present creative work with confidence and enthusiasm. You’ll turn challenges into opportunities. You’ll interface with various departments (creative, media planning, interactive, production) to move projects and campaigns through the agency in a timely manner. Our clients cover a wide range of industries – we’re always learning about new services, products and companies. NO same ol’ same ol’ here.
