So what does an Account
Handler do?

Account handlers are the most important people in the Agency when it comes to fostering and managing relationships with clients.  They are the intermediaries, the face of the agency, and the day-to-day point of contact – to the client they are the agency.

They co-ordinate briefs and deliverables, take responsibility for billing and budgets and ensure that the clients’ objectives are met on time and within budget.  Account handlers need to be organised, self-motivated and have extremely good interpersonal skills – “a master of all trades”.

As an Account Executive you would be responsible for administering and co-ordinating projects through the Agency departments and via the client after delegation from a Senior Account Manager.  Jobs range from everything from briefing Creatives on a new campaign, to presenting Competitor Reviews to your team or client.  No two days are ever the same.  It is a time to learn and improve as much as possible, and really develop as an integral member of your team.
