Account Manager

As an account manager in Grey, you will be acting as a link between the agency and its clients with adding your value. You will be responsible for the coordination of advertising campaigns and therefore communicating clearly to all those involved. You may also be known as an account handler or campaign owner in driving success.

Understanding the needs of your clients is vital, which you'll learn through liaising closely with them throughout campaigns. You will also manage administrative and campaign work to ensure that projects are completed on time and on budget.

Responsibilities

• manage stakeholders, both internal and external, in an effective way.
• work with agency colleagues to devise an advertising campaign that meets the client's brief and budget.

• brainstorming ideas with the planning and creative teams.
• formulate materials for different scenarios in a precise and accurate manner.
• undertake administrative tasks when required, e.g. arrange meetings, PO and invoice, meeting minutes, etc.

What to expect

• Agencies have earned their reputations through genius ideas, consistency, and high ROI’s for their clients. Learning the tricks of selling ideas, managing clients, and developing strong concepts from established agency creatives, can help to take your work to the next level.
• We follow something like a “work hard, play hard” mentality. During the long days spent at the office, there is always room to have some fun. Whether it is playing games, drinking, or getting a little too creative at after work parties.
• Although you will generally be office-based, business travel may be required as you will be expected to visit clients and may attend TV/ Photo shoots or installation.
• Teamwork is important in driving success. Teamwork with a young and fun team is what you can look forward.

Requirements

• University graduated.
• At least 2 years’ relevant experience preferably in advertising or marketing field but not a must.
• Good schedule management and project organization skills.
• Detailed oriented, capable of working in a fast-paced working environment with a positive working attitude.
• Good communication and presentation skills.  Able to convince and influence others effectively.
• Proficiency in both English and Cantonese/Chinese; Mandarin is a plus.
