Marketing Account Executive

Salary: £27,600 – £30,000 per year

We’re recruiting an Account Executive for an established & very reputable Marketing & Design Agency based Chester.

This is a super, well supported & exciting Account Executive role & we envisage a candidate in the early stages of their Marketing career who very much want to progress their Account Executive /Marketing / Design knowledge or seek a better employer. The successful applicant will need to be creative with great communication skills, enthusiasm, drive & a tangible interest in the world & work of Marketing / Design.

Ideally we’d love to have applicants with either relevant work experience (Marketing or Design experience would of course be great) or a good Marketing or Business Studies degree. We’re not ‘hung up’ on preferring either route but if you have a non Marketing Degree (or similar), as with the work background, we’d again like to see some Marketing or Design angle.

This Agency deals with top-notch clients & exciting projects, both in the UK & internationally (& there will be opportunities for international travel). They work in Digital & Print mediums across multiple platforms, such as exhibitions, websites, video & creative campaigns & the Account Executive will be expected to support & add to those campaigns.

Working within the team, the Account Executive will be responsible for keeping clients happy – delivering projects on time, within budget and to the highest standards, meeting the client’s brief and all internal milestones along the way.

The Account Executive role

• Supporting the Account Managers & Directors on larger-scale projects as well as personally managing smaller accounts

• Show an understanding of client businesses/products & be able to confidently discuss them

• Establish & grow client relationships, both new and existing

• Research locations for events & offer ideas for meetings & delegate entertainment

• Engage with design team on a daily basis, keeping a good handle on your projects

• Keep a log of time spent on specific tasks each day

• Liaise with suppliers & event organisers, managing & communicating deadlines both internally & externally to clients

• Create and update project plans & task lists

Skills:

It goes without saying that you’ll need to be familiar & confident with IT systems. Again, ideally some Marketing / CRM or design suite knowledge or interest would be advantage. A new MacBook Air comes with the job!

• High level of organisation with an excellent eye for detail

• An understanding (either through work or genuine interest) of branding, design, digital & marketing processes

• Ability to manage multiple projects at one time, prioritise & deliver well under pressure

• Adopt an open-minded attitude to change, and be quick to learn & implement new ideas

• Demonstrate a desire to grow areas of responsibility/expertise

• Full UK driving licence & a willingness to travel (sometimes out of hours) to exhibitions & events

The successful candidate will come with some Marketing or Design background or ‘hook’ but essentially we need to see that team fit. They’re a very solid team of long serving employees & they want to truly welcome a tenacious, bright, curious candidate who can very much add & grow in & from this role.

Stunning offices. Great location & a brilliant team of warm, supportive & very successful established people who really love their jobs & excel in their field!

9-5 Mon-Thurs & 9-4:30 Friday. 

Great hols – 28 days + PLUS Xmas / New Year rising to 33 days + Xmas & New Year after a year (includes Bank Hols)
