Account Executive – Marketing / Design – £23-25k Chester
We’re recruiting an Account Executive for an established & very reputable Marketing & Design Agency based Chester.
This is a super, well supported & exciting Account Executive role & we envisage a candidate in the early stages of their Marketing career who very much want to progress their Account Executive /Marketing / Design knowledge & skills or seek a better employer. The successful applicant will need to be creative with great communication skills, enthusiasm, drive & a tangible interest in the world & work of Marketing / Design.
Ideally we’d love to have applicants with either relevant work experience (Marketing or Design experience would of course be great) or a good Marketing or Business Studies degree. We’re not ‘hung up’ on preferring either route but if you have a non Marketing Degree (or similar), as with the work background, we’d again like to see some Marketing or Design angle.
This Agency deals with top-notch clients & exciting projects, both in the UK & internationally (& there will be opportunities for international travel). They work in Digital & Print mediums across multiple platforms, such as exhibitions, websites, video & creative campaigns & the Account Executive will be expected to support & add to those campaigns.
Working within the team, you will be responsible for keeping clients happy – delivering projects on time, within budget and to the highest standards, meeting the client’s brief and all internal milestones along the way.
The Account Executive role
• Supporting the Account Managers & Directors on larger-scale projects as well as personally managing smaller accounts
• Show an understanding of client businesses/products & be able to confidently discuss them
• Establish & grow client relationships, both new and existing

• Engage with design team on a daily basis, keeping a good handle on your projects
• Keep a log of time spent on specific tasks each day
• Liaise with suppliers & event organisers, managing & communicating deadlines both internally & externally to clients
Skills:
It goes without saying that you’ll need to be familiar & confident with IT systems. Again, ideally some Marketing / CRM or design suite knowledge or interest would be advantage. A new MacBook Air comes with the job!
• High level of organisation with an excellent eye for detail
• An understanding (either through work or genuine interest) of branding, design, digital & marketing processes
• Ability to manage multiple projects at one time, prioritise & deliver well under pressure
• Adopt an open-minded attitude to change, and be quick to learn & implement new ideas
• Demonstrate a desire to grow areas of responsibility/expertise
• Full UK driving licence & a willingness to travel (sometimes out of hours) to exhibitions & events
The successful candidate will come with some Marketing or Design background or ‘hook’ but essentially we need to see that team fit. They’re a very solid team of long serving employees & they want to truly welcome a tenacious, bright, curious candidate who can very much add & grow in & from this role.
Stunning offices. Great location & a brilliant team of warm, supportive & very successful established people who really love their jobs & excel in their field!
