Job description

We are looking for a full time Account Executive to join our team. Quirk Creative is an award-winning, woman-owned certified advertising agency specializing in video-based campaigns. We produce creative—from concept development to post-production—for social, digital and broadcast channels.

The AE will be joining our client services team and will be a hybrid client manager / project manager who can be the trusted ally and primary point of contact to our clients.

You will:

• Manage projects meticulously: You make sure our campaigns, commercial, and content projects are brought to life on time, on brief, and on budget. You’ll be in charge of developing and updating timelines, delivering status reports to clients and internal teams, invoicing, coordinating feedback between clients and internal creative / production teams, and doing QA on creative deliverables to ensure they go out flawlessly. You detail maniac, you.
• Manage clients: You’ll be our clients’ go-to for any project related questions. You know our client’s brands better than they do, and you know their birthdays. You’re there to understand their advertising objectives, maintain regular communications throughout a project, and manage crises as they arise.
• You’ll also manage the client during the shoot on set, acting as the intermediary between the Director and Client.
• Identify upsell opportunities: Working with our Managing Director, you will initiate “next steps” conversations with clients, uncovering their future marketing/advertising needs and coordinating with the creative and/or new business team to proactively get proposals in front of the client.
• Keep tabs on campaign performance: Working with our media partners, you’ll monitor campaigns and campaign performance, communicate learnings to internal stakeholders, and identify areas for creative optimization.

You must:

• Be NYC area based.
• Have at least 2 years of experience in client facing role and agency experience
• Have some on set experience, and be excited to be on set a lot.
• Understand the nuances in video creative—namely the differences between Direct Response and Brand, and differences in videos across channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TV creatives.)
• Be positive, outgoing and an easy conversationalist
• Have the ability to manage and set client expectations: our accounts team are key to setting boundaries internally and externally
• Have excellent communication skills. You’re one of those “zero email” inbox folk
• And you should be an absolute self-starter with a get-the-job-done mentality

Salary & Benefits:

• This is an NYC based, full time position, starting at 70k/year
• Medical,: 50-100% coverage by Quirk depending on plan selected
