Account Executive or SAE

Brief Overview

This fully integrated agency is based in a superb setting, voted best agency to work for by their peers, also comes armed with a fantastic reputation for staff retention. It’s also filled with talented, creative and passionate people, and can boast a client portfolio that will rival many of the bigger agencies.

The real beauty is that you will be more involved, from concept to fruition, thus broadening your skills & personal development. At your disposal is a brilliant mix of long serving employees, who offer fantastic insight and knowledge on the business, as well as a good injection of new talent who bring new fresh ideas.

The role

You will be given the chance to work on mega creative campaigns and your key function will be to support designated senior account handlers, whilst learning heaps at the same time. Younger team members benefit from the opportunity to learn from experienced pros who’ve been there and won the weird award trophies.

You will be working across a breadth of projects, and the real sweet spot is that you will find yourself involved in the research & planning stages where opinions are encouraged regardless of your role; people are given the freedom to do their best work and support for training is open to all.

Additionally, as many of the campaigns are integrated, the role is likely to involve advertising campaigns, branding and corporate identity, printed literature, exhibition design and content work. This will also involve liaising internally and externally with clients and colleagues – They value analytical and creative thinking and recognise that an agency is a partner that adds value, not a production supplier that represents a cost saving.

What we’re looking for

By virtue of their work, this is a very interesting and diverse role and will suit someone who loves agency life, gets creativity & enjoys the hustle and bustle of handling multiple projects. 

You will ideally have a relevant degree, preferably in a marketing or related discipline combined with a solid 12 – 18 months experience within a B2B, agency or client side, marketing focused, environment.

You will also be looking to work in an agency environment that has a very strong record of developing people, and needless to say, a genuine interest in all things marketing, both online & offline.

Attitude & temperament is key – they’ve worked extremely hard to build an awesome culture and simply want people that respect all walks of life, and come to work with a smile & bounce.

What’s on offer?

A salary of up to £28,000 + numerous benefits, above average holiday allowance, hybrid working, as well as the opportunity to develop your personal and professional talents in an agency that will give you responsibility, support, and the chance to work with some very exciting brands and talented people.

The agency is committed to the development of their staff which means you will enjoy a long-term career – most of their senior account handlers started in junior roles which demonstrates the opportunity for progression.    So, if this is ticking all your boxes, please share your CV or call Simon, 0161 425 7352 for a better insight.
