Account Executive

About the Job

Boutique agency specializing in advertising for independent film and television seeks an experienced mid-level AE to manage client communication and production associated with print, outdoor and web advertising.

Meticulous attention to detail, a flair for client relations and a passion for independent film are all required. This is a hands-on role where you will be the main point person for important long-running clients and you called upon to work directly with the creative and account teams to produce first-class advertising. As a boutique our staff wears many hats and you will be expected to carry out the work of a traditional account executive, media planner and buyer and ad trafficker.

• Plan and recommend media (print, web, broadcast) to clients and build media schedules and budgets;
• Create job schedules and manage internal processes to meet and beat very tight deadlines;
• Closely proof and traffic all advertising through multiple revisions in what is often very detail-oriented and sometimes tedious work;
• Work closely with media to secure the best rates and timelines;
• Develop client accounts into further business using your business development and client relations skills.

Experience required:
• Print, outdoor and web account management in a hands-on environment. Note: you must have working knowledge of planning, reserving and delivering advertising schedules;
• Ad trafficking experience including print and web;
• Film/television advertising agency-side experience would be a big advantage;
• Passion for independent film;
• Networking experience at industry events and a desire to build and grow business delivering the best possible client service;
• Meticulous attention to detail;
• Proficiency in Mac Microsoft Office including PowerPoint;
• Proficiency in Mac FileMaker;
• Exposure to media planning and buying tools and processes.
