Account Director - Agency

Open Vacancy: This role is a current, active position and we are accepting applications. Our client is a Toronto-based agency that helps brands navigate the unified worlds of advertising and content - creating stuff people want to see, not stuff they have to see. Their approach is built on aligning what a brand thinks, what it does, and what it says, across strategy, experience, and creation. Many agencies proudly exclaim, “It’s about the work”. They think it’s actually about the people AND the work. But always, people first. As an Account Director, you are responsible for acting as the lead and key client contact for a range of accounts in categories including Tech, Not-For-Profit, B2B, Government and more. You will steer the businesses and educate clients on trends, best practices, competitive activity and marketing and digital strategy overall. You will roll up your sleeves on projects and work closely with your colleagues in Account, Strategy and Creative to ensure comprehensive plans, flawless execution and insight-based reporting. You are the epitome of an ‘A Type’ – exceptionally organized, great relationship builder, have a belief in the foundations of account service (follow up, service, personality) and are looking for an opportunity to independently lead a suite of accounts in a growing, busy, entrepreneurial agency. You consider yourself a master of communication, you’re a natural leader and take time & care to build relationships with your team members and clients. Most importantly, you don’t take yourself too seriously, you check your ego at the door and you love to work hard and have fun.
