Craving a new adventure? We’re looking for Brand/Account Supervisors from an agency – any kind of agency – that thrives on the challenge of building a brand. Doing the type of work you’re proud to show mom and dad over the holidays. Leading brands you believe in. Building relationships that go deeper than this week’s status call. Where real trust is forged. Where tough conversations are welcomed with open arms. Making both sides stronger in the end.
You’re obsessed with getting to know everything about your clients, their business and the consumers who love them. Bringing new, unique and strategic solutions to the table. Standing at the front of the room. Obsessing about the presentation, the storyline and how best to convey the idea. Sweating the details and loving every minute of it.
You play well with others, thrive on collaboration, look every day in the eye with a positive attitude and pick your teammates up when they need a helping hand. You invest in those around you. And want the same in return. Because you have dreams and want a new home where those can be brought to life.
We hear you. Come play with us. See the details below and let’s talk.
