One of London's most dynamic agencies with a client list that reads like a who's who of household brands. Set up 15 years ago to challenge the big agency model, they now find themselves in the fortunate position to be able to turn work down. They are constantly activating ideas in whatever channel best suits the task at hand. As a result, they have created 3 pillars - Promotional, Live Engagement and Shopper all of which are underpinned with Creative, Social and Enabling digital technology. Their new business pipeline is looking extremely exciting so whoever joins will have a bright future.

What's the role all about?
An exciting role for an ambitious Senior Account Manager working on global business for two key clients. You'll report directly to a Senior Account Director so there's plenty of room for progression. This will give you the opportunity to show off both solid client managements skills and your ability to work closely with creative teams.

You'll take responsibility for the development of the accounts by acting as a link between the clients and agency. Whether you are responding to client briefs, enhancing relationships, managing budgets, compiling insight or working closely with the SAD on anything else, you should be able to think on your feet and not be afraid to ask the difficult questions that help client accounts grow.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day management/smooth running of the accounts and delivery of projects (typically there will be multiple on the go at any one time). You will be the main point of contact for the Marketing Managers and will be responsible for the development of proposals as well as supporting documents such as timing plans, presentations etc.

You'll be joining an entrepreneurial, switched-on, progressive, determined, pragmatic, energised and supportive team. Many agencies claim to have a family feel but this one really does.

There's a low staff turnover as people are constantly challenged and there is none of the bureaucracy you find in network agencies. Their independence allows them to invest in talent and progress people as quickly as possible. All employees benefit from a range of training initiatives and a clear career path. People are encouraged to take time out to learn and develop, plus, you get all this...

• Access to career training and enhancement opportunities - educational lunches, funding of industry qualifications where appropriate, individual skill enhancement where appropriate.
• Constant feedback and monthly reviews
• An open plan working environment with senior management sitting amongst all teams
• Company-wide bonus scheme
• Thursday 4pm drinks trolley… hosted by different people in the agency each week.
• Busy Social Calendar organised by a dedicated internal team
• 20 days holiday, plus 3 days between Christmas and New Year. Then an additional day's holiday for every year at the agency (after two full years). And your birthday off, AND a day off to do something positive of your choice!

So to summarise, if you're an ambitious Senior Account Manager looking to progress your career in a great environment on global clients, this is the one. Please apply now or contact

This agency has been running successfully for ten years now and few employers offer a more supportive, friendly, varied working environment. No two days are ever the same.

The small yet perfectly formed team are based very centrally surrounded by lovely independent cafes, restaurants and bars. They work with clients throughout the world, often in tandem with larger agencies.

What do they do?

Put simply, this agency exist to help organisations grow and reduce costs through collaboration with complimentary, non-competing, marketing partners. They devise, develop and then implement partnership marketing campaigns involving two or more brands. Working together for the greater good!

Their sole business objective is to get businesses to work together, to share and recycle their assets and help each other to achieve their respective business goals.

Who do they do this for?
They work with a wide range of clients from some of the world's biggest brands to some niche and quirky ones. In this case, they are looking for people to work on some huge brands in travel, charity, leisure and entertainment.

Where do you fit in?

As the Account Manager it will be your job to liaise closely with the client and their prospective partners to ensure campaigns run smoothly and both sides benefit as agreed in the initial discussions.

You will work with an experienced Account Director who will act as a mentor to help you to progress. You'll also benefit from the support of an Account Executive who will take care of some of the admin duties and provide all the info you need to ensure each campaign is as effective as possible.

You will be responsible for managing the various stakeholder relationships which will involve regular communications either face to face or more often over the phone. You'll need to be creative and to be able to articulate your ideas in an engaging manner (ideally you will have some charisma!). This is not a sales role but the ability to build relationships quickly is very important, as is attention to detail and organisational skills - you will sometimes be running more than one campaign at once!

What's in it for you?

We have never had a candidate turn down a second interview with the agency in 12 years of recruiting for them. That's because they're nice people that take care of their staff.

It is a great place to work if you're creatively minded, organised, social and want exposure to some of the best respected brand in the world.

You can expect to receive:

• An excellent salary which is reviewed twice a year
• Pension
• Company bonus
• 26 days holiday plus your birthday off and flexibility on top of this.
• Lots of company funded social events including monthly drinks
• Excellent training (internal and external)
• A decent office in the heart of Central London
• A fun, friendly office environment where you can make a massive difference.
• Probably other things I have forgotten!
