What are your motivations for marketing? Do you love it? Are you curious about it? Are you already good at it and want to learn to become even BETTER?
Delivering the most tenacious and pertinent marketing strategies wrapped in apt, compelling creative is our bailiwick. It’s our unique selling proposition. It’s what separates us from the competition. We don’t copy and paste. We don’t set and forget. We don’t duplicate or regurgitate. We design and manage every aspect of what we do for our clients in detail. This allows us to create some of the most original, creative, and importantly, effective marketing tactics and advertising assets out there.
The position we’re currently hiring for in the Advertising Agency Account Executive role offers one of the most exciting and rewarding opportunities within our Account Services career track! Some of the career-changing and synaptic-altering experiences you may expect include:
- Rapid upward mobility. Our client base is strong, hard-fought by tried-and-true principles set forth by our company president and backed by our rock-star agency staff. If you have the drive and demonstrate the ability, you can rise among our ranks and earn more…FAST.
- Regular team building events that ROCK. When we team build, we don’t just hit the closest escape room, construct industry-appropriate origami, or participate in awkward in-office word games. We close the agency so the team can enjoy a scavenger hunt on the beach followed by sunset cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, or we rent out the pool deck at the local country club for water Olympics games, or we take the team out for a massage… (A Disney day has been on the table recently and it’s only a matter of time before that’s approved…)
- Paid Time Off. In addition to regular personal and vacation time, our agency also covers all major holidays, which includes your birthday (obviously). We even throw in a day if you want to spend some time toward your favorite charity; you volunteer to save the turtles, we pay you for it.
- Bonus opportunities. Whether it’s the best agency March Madness bracket, the best-dressed Halloween costume, the best script concept, the next new potential client relationship, or even a random performance reward, our agency is proud to offer opportunities for every employee to earn more in creative and FUN ways.
- All-expense paid trips. We believe hands-on experiences enrich knowledge that can’t elsewhere be gained. (They can also be FUN and thus increase employee job satisfaction.) These experiences can include travel to conferences, client meetings, content gathering, and more. As an example, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) conference, the largest in the automotive space and one we regularly send some of our team members to enjoy, typically hosts from Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Dallas. Also, depending on client assignment, our agency handles stores across the country that make for interesting and exciting excursions (fun pitstops are often included for the heck of it).
- On-location production projects (filming video content). As an Account executive, this typically means assisting the director and/or production manager in basic tasks during filming. Being onsite can mean interesting travel, meals included, and all the perks of the director’s chair, if that’s a direction that suits you.
- Major concert and event tickets. Because of our solid relationships with various media partners and vendors, we often get tickets and special access to various events (e.g., Lightning, Buc’s, and Rays games, major music events across all genres, etc.). Because of the super boss that is our company president, those tickets are often offered to our staff as perks.
- Creative writing that translates direct to in-market ads. All content produced by our agency is 100% unique to our clients. Combined with our democratic team approach—we encourage and reward ideas constantly, regardless of seniority, origin, or otherwise; if the idea is good, we’re using it—this affords a range of creative possibilities, perhaps the most fun being your work featured in the next mass media TV buy or viral digital campaign. If you can think it, we can help you produce it and get it to market FAST! (We consistently receive positive feedback from our employees that they love seeing their work live in market.)
- Frequent FREE lunches and FREE Starbucks. Whether it’s the result of a preferred vendor relationship, a team event, or the company president feeling generous, lunch is covered by the agency sometimes several times a month, and Starbucks runs are just about as frequent. (Some of the best creative ideas are born after a 2PM-Americano-two-pumps-hazelnut-doppio-espresso rejuvenation!)
- Flexibility only a small (but mighty!) agency can offer. See something above that we’ve painted as roses but you’re not feeling any of the fragrance? Because of the tailored approach laid out by our leaders—part of our job satisfaction is helping our team members achieve their professional passions and grow into the success stories they want to share with the world—if there’s something above that you don’t particularly like, we have the ability to shape positions and adjust fits that make the most sense for both our customers and our employees.
- Epic Christmas parties. Just thought we’d throw that in, too.
