• Align messaging with different stages of the B2B buyer journey

Commercial Growth

• Prepare and manage account budgets, forecasts, and reporting, owning account profitability and revenue growth
• Identify and pursue opportunities for account growth, including upselling additional services (e.g. ABM, content, strategy) and expanding client portfolios
• Contribute to and lead new business pitches, particularly within the tech sector
• Manage and mentor account managers and junior staff, facilitating professional growth and collaboration
• Collaborate closely with media, strategy, and creative teams
• Ensure best practices in B2B marketing are shared across the agency
