As an independent agency, our independence gives us the freedom and flexibility to dream big, take the risks worth taking, and do the work worth caring about.

About the Role
We are looking for a proactive and incredibly organized Account Executive to join our Brand practice. In this role, you will serve as the lynchpin of a client relationship team, liaising between clients, vendors, and agency departments to keep teams and deliverables organized.

You will assist in the development, planning, and execution of client media strategies while overseeing and tracking campaigns.
Beyond strategy, you will be the voice of the brand, representing clients and products at industry conferences and events. You will moderate media interviews, assist with media training, and initiate the implementation of media events such as press conferences and briefings.
