With talent, skills and vision, they can recognise the raw potential of a project and bring it to light by inspiring and motivating their team with clarity and confidence. They’ve got the collaborative spirit needed to work on global projects for multinational brands as well as entrepreneurial challengers, and are willing to dig in and do the work needed to ensure a project is successful.

Where would an agency be without hard-working Senior Account Managers keeping them on point in producing the best possible creative solutions for clients around the globe? Resourceful, proactive and optimistic, they always bring their A-game in managing the finances, planning and delivery of several projects at the same time. With strategic smarts and strong creative sensibilities, they’re able to effectively brief teams and create presentations that ‘WOW” clients. And as an inspiring leader, they show the junior CS team members the ropes, helping to build confidence and skill within the team.
