My experience
The role was heavily CRM focused and included work with the strategy, data, creative, design and business development teams.
and other design centric work.
A large part of the role is new business generation and creating proposals, pitches and supporting on tenders. I manage a team of creatives in the UK and Malaysia, reporting directly to the Creative Director, and have line-managed more junior Account Managers. I often work closely with the in-house media and digital teams
and manage a roster of freelancers. As a senior member of staff I have also been involved in operational review and updates.
The majority of the work was eDM, but there are also requirements for the creation of printed DMs and digital assets. My role involved briefing, financial tracking, trafficking, proofing, and final delivery. The nature of the clients meant that the work is very fast paced and needs to be very high-quality, especially for Diageo
which requires in depth knowledge of various major beverage brands and flexibilty between them. This was originally a 1 month contract, that was extended.
My work included traffic management, project management, scoping and costing. This work was applied to photography, brand, advertising, film, digital, web design and web development projects. My people management and organisational skills were integral to my success in this role. I particularly enjoyed contributing to the ongoing training of my team.

Alex' reviews
Alex has been a fantastic support to us across account management over the past few months. The influx of high pressure, quick turn around work (including Playbooks and Productions) were all handled with ease, confidence and a calm level head.
Alex is also a delight to be around and work with. She's great fun, and charismatic, with a fab sense of humour.
I'd recommend working with Alex for any account management/client servicing/project management requirements in an agency set up.
