Account Executive

We’re on the hunt for an Account Executive who’s ready to get stuck in, learn fast and help make brilliant work happen.

Whether you’re new to the industry or already have a bit of experience, we’d love to hear from you.

So, what’s Account Handling all about?

It’s the link between clients and the wider agency. You’ll be the go-between – taking client briefs, keeping projects on track, and making sure everything runs smoothly, on time and on budget. They create the environment where great ideas happen. It’s a great role if you want to work in a creative environment but don’t necessarily see yourself as a creative in the traditional sense.

You’ll need: 

• People skills: you’ll work with a whole mix of people – clients, creatives, designers, producers. Knowing how to build relationships and get the best out of everyone is key.

• Organisational skills: projects can get complex fast. You’ll need to stay on top of what’s happening now and what’s happening next.

• Communication skills: you’ll be sharing updates, managing expectations and keeping everyone in the loop.

• Resilience: not everything goes to plan – but you keep your cool, stay positive and crack on.

What does a typical day look like?

• Attending client meetings

• Briefing creatives

• Booking in resources and setting up meetings

• Creating timelines and tracking budgets

• Supporting senior team members

• Doing your homework – from market research to competitive reviews

• Sitting in on creative reviews and getting a feel for how big ideas get made

Why work at Drummond Central?

• We’re 100% employee-owned

• Campaign ranked us the #2 regional agency in the UK (and #35 overall)

• You’ll be working with household brands like Greggs, Dreams, bet365 and more

• We’re proud members of the IPA

• We’ve got a bonus scheme – and because of our employee ownership, a chunk of that is tax-free
